Waiting is an obedience thing, nothing more. While the trend of those who wait would seem to be a life bent towards obedience in other areas (ie forgiveness, restoration, peaceful reactions, etc) it is no guarantee. I have heard it taught and presented as a guaranteed pass ... but it is not. I know personally of several such scenarios that did not work out. Some couple present it almost boastfully ... unknowingly inferring that their obedience was not for the sake of obedience but with an agenda ... almost blackmailing God ... that cannot work well.<br /><br />Thank you for your comments.

But I believe that all Christians go through hardships and it is possible that they could even end up in divorce just the same as someone who didn't wait for marriage, however if they follow God's rule like they did in the beginning, they will be rewarded more in Heaven Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052725824788860113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201575562492399433.post-81511920350134024252013-11-06T05:54:02.038-08:002013-11-06T05:54:02.038-08:00Well said ... and it is work, intensive work ... b...Well said ... and it is work, intensive work ... but if the work is done right, well, and on time, then the play is equally as intensiveThe HazFactorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016671574649163284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201575562492399433.post-80202911129886677402013-11-05T22:03:33.537-08:002013-11-05T22:03:33.537-08:00Yes, there are those who wait until they are marri...Yes, there are those who wait until they are married. However, they will eventually find themselves refraining from much more to enable a marriage to survive. For example: pornography, lust, and adultery. The temptation surrounds us and we have to make an effort to refrain from and avoid such foolishness. For obvious reasons, there are advantages to waiting until you're married to have sex. However it is important that people understand that although sex is a major component of marriage, its not the only component. You have mentioned many important attributes of a good marriage. We must also remember that a strong marriage involves hard work, everyday. It isn't an easy journey but it is well worth the ride.

I agree that by putting the sexuality aside (before marriage), a strong friendship will forge that will be important for carrying the relationship during the rough, and .. er .. dry spells.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!The HazFactorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016671574649163284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201575562492399433.post-29966426515857915832013-11-04T19:34:42.738-08:002013-11-04T19:34:42.738-08:00Hmm...I dunno. I didn't have sex before I got ...Hmm...I dunno. I didn't have sex before I got married! =P<br /><br />However, I do know that I only ever dated two guys. One I kissed early on in our dating, and the relationship lasted 2.5 months. The other, I didn't kiss, and married. The difference? Kissing.<br /><br />When I dated the first guy, and we started kissing, the friendship that had started to bud, fizzled into a make-out session whenever we were together.<br /><br />With Josh (my husband), we had no physical contact till we were engaged (I punched him in the arm - HARD instead of hugging him cause it wasn't allowed - and by "wasn't allowed," I mean we chose that route no matter what anyone told us), then we could hold hands. <br /><br />It was HARD! Ohmygoodnes! But by the time we married, Josh was my dearest friend on the planet. I was literally his best friend, second only to God. <br /><br />Is my marriage better because we didn't have sex before we got married...I don't know. But I DO know that when sex is no longer an option for us...our friendship will still be going strong! =DJoshs_Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970628170953633121noreply@blogger.com
