Did you wait for marriage?

[cubanito]

A similar poll in the women's section made me wonder. And please, let us keep this clean, and respect anyone not wishing to divulge.

I did, and it was difficult, as my father (a physician) sent his best "call girl" client to seduce me so I'd forget all the Christian "mumbo jumbo." He admitted to it many years later.

 

[No Swansong]

No I did not, I regret it. I was a Christian but very far awzy from the Lord at the time. This is one of the reasons I speak with my Children regularly about their spiritual life.

 

[Sketcher]

So far, so good (not counting the thought life). Of course, most of that is being attributed to being shy and/or an outcast.

 

[Ave Maria]

No, unfortunately I have not waited. I regret that.

 

[Ave Maria]

No, unfortunately I did not. I regret it too.

 

[NeitherLifeNorDeath]

I didn't, and I didn't regret it, but I can definately understand how many people would, therefore I don't recommend it unless one is perfectly emotionally ready for it...

I wasn't a Christian prior to marriage. Had I been, then I probably would have waited.

I'm not married; how should I answer?

In any case, I intend to wait until marriage (assuming I decide to get married at all), and I've been successful so far. The worst I've done is hold hands with a woman for a minute, and even this not of my own volition. It's actually a rather humorous story, in case anyone wants to ask...

Stay strong my young brother.

 

[oliveplants]

I voted "sort of" we didn't go all the way, but went further than we should have.

 

[Erinwilcox]

I am waiting. . .but unlike my brother here, I've not held hands!

Do tell! I'm always ready for a laugh!

 

[KellyLeigh]

I'm waiting and will be married in a year. I'm actually surprised by the number of people on CF that did not wait until they were married, especially among those who were christians before they got married

 

[Waiting for the Verdict]

I know I'm an evil liberal Christian (just busting, guys), but actually I have waited. Still waiting, in fact.

 

[DiscipleOfIAm]

No, I did not wait. I was with one other person before I met my wife when I was 16. When I met my wife, I was 19 and we also did not wait. I regret it. She, my wife, has only been with me. I was a Christian, but a luke warm one. So, was my wife.

If there is one thing I could strees to today's youth, it is this subject. Wait. God really does know what he's talking about when he commands this.

God Bless!

 

[69boi69]

No I just wanted some as soon as possible.

[mont974x4]

No, I didn't wait. Iam eternally grateful for God's grace and mercy in relation to many stupid decisions I have made.

 

[If Not For Grace]

No--I had slept with numerous partners before marriage--I did not get saved until mid way my second "Unequally yoked" marriage (he was/still is the Love of my life) He died and now I am happily married again to a wonderful man. There was no more ill effect from this than being fat, pious, or judgemental. It was wrong, but it took maturing as a christian to realize it.

God is good, gracious and forgiving--we should try and be more like Him.

Emotionally ready for it? I think you forgot the part in the Bible where it says it is wrong to have sex before marriage.
