married for one month, part 7

fional asked:

Do you think it's worth waiting til you're married to have sex?


Christine (smells) responds:

Yes.

Sex has become a wonderful complement to our relationship. The level of intimacy we share matches our commitment to each other.

Is it the above all, end all? No.

Is it marvelous? Yes.

But our marriage is built on love for Jesus Christ and of course communication.

To have waited this long to express that aspect of our love was extremely worthwhile. We have no guilt. We can enjoy each other fully without embarrassment or shame.

Mike adds his two cents worth...
Sex is really good inside of marriage. People and many christians get sold rubbish that they are missing out if they don't have sex before marriage. Speaking from my experience this view is bollocks. I'm glad I waited and if you are waiting too good for you. Don't let people rubbish you for being a virgin. "I have sex with my wife thankyou and it's da bomb."

Mike hijacked my blog and made some edits.

Ok so I wrote the bit about you smelling...

Erica said...

Hee hee you two - I thought that the "smells" bit must have been "American " for "sniffs"!

Erica said...

No wait - inserting "sniffs" doesn't make sense now I re-read it! Great work on all the answers Christine :)

The fact that you said "Bollocks" in a post about sex is hilarious.

Jonny said...

Girls smell, I know that much.

Christine and I have very different writing styles... as you can see.

Mike just said "da bomb." The chasers are going to come and give him an "improper use of ebonics" citation.

My husband and I went to a very "fundamental" (in the worst sense of the word) Bible college where we had a course on music and the prof went on and on about how rock music was just like sex. One of our friends leaned over and whispered, "if that's true, I'm going to be really disappointed." He's happily married now and I think has come to a different conclusion on the matter.

ckjolly said...

lol ... did we go to the same Bible College?

I wish I'd waited.

Thanks for your response guys.

"People and many christians get sold rubbish that they are missing out if they don't have sex before marriage." I like the way you phrased this - you're right, I think that often even the Christians who know waiting for marriage is the right thing and that it will be good, even these Christians still have a feeling that they're 'missing out'. I think we need to take care to talk about the *goodness* and loveliness and fulfillingness of God's commands, as well as just saying they should be obeyed. Cos sometimes that's just not enough, especially if you're a new or weak Christian.

"We have no guilt. We can enjoy each other fully without embarrassment or shame." This, too, struck a chord with me. It's a bit of an unsettling and unfulfilling thing to go against your conscience - particularly when it's right.
