• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Help me with my speech :)

I can't understand why in the world this topic might have entered into your mind. :D

There are a lot of reasons I could give, but I'll leave it with this: there are (from my experience) more people who haven't waited and regret it than there are people who waited and regret it.

Ok, I'm doing a persuasive speech on why passionate kissing should be reserved for marriage. Any input I could get would be great :) Reasons, experiences, counter-arguments, whatever... :)
Counter-argument...

There is nothing in the Bible that implies that this is wrong.

You're presenting this to a secular audience?

I think that you'll have one tough audience! Is this for a public speaking class or something like that?

Yes I am, and yes it is :)

I figure it'll be good for a secular audience to hear about something that's quite far from mainstream norms.... big change from the "everyone at college is out for sex" mentality.

boilerblues, what initially got you to decide to save your kiss when you were younger?

Nothing wrong with it in my opinion if you have been with your partner for a while. But a counter-argument would be it could lead to other things which should be left for marriages.
Good luck on convicing a secular audience that anything should be saved for marraige.

Hahaha... I also figure this could be a starting point, giving them logical reasons other than "Because God said so." God only tells us to do things that are for our ultimate good in the end, so perhaps it would help that they see reasons for something that also "make sense" from a secular reasoning.

Ooo.... imagine the feelings of that first kiss at your wedding... imagine the tension gone ahead before to make it special.... Relate it to a suprise party, the feelings are somewhat more special than something that something you know the feeling of isn't it... So is kissing, if you dont' know the feeling, then it's gonna be more special.
Then there's bumping teeth with some drool hanging down from your lips or your spouse's. A Kodak moment indeed.
