Sex break before wedding night

Our marriage counselor suggested we do this since we've been living together for 2 years, because I'm not really super excited for the wedding. FH has 2 boys from his previous marriage so I have lots of married responsibilities already. FH isn't a big fan of this, but he said he would do it. But I think we're going to do a a month or two before the wedding.

I have heard you are suppose to do at least a month. I think that is what we will do. We have lived together almost all of our relationship so its kind of always been there, so we talked about stopping a month prier.

I definitely couldn't last a whole month!! We are going to try to do it for the week before our wedding! We are going to spend the night before apart as well. So when we see eachother as I'm walking down the aisle it will be that much more special

We are doing one hole month... ;-)

HAHA When I read the title I thought you meant taking a break between the wedding and reception to go have sex! LOL Um, as for the real topic, we'll probably wind up doing this whether we plan to or not. His family is going to be all over our house for at least two weeks before the wedding and I can't imagine anything weirder than trying to mess around with them in the house. Especially since we'll be sleeping in the living room to give his mom and stepdad our bed.

We are planning on this, although I don't see a month making us too happy [I don't want to be desperately waiting for the reception to be over so we can leave!] We were thinking between 2-3 weeks. FH wants like, 5 days, but he's really underestimating the stuff to get done. I figured at the 2-3 week mark I'm going to be so busy I won't be wanting to do too much of the sex, so this is a good way to make it clear ahead of time its not happening...

Well, FH is in Louisiana (Army) and I am in Ohio. I saw him for two weeks starting the day after Christmas... He comes home 5 days before the wedding and I can't go visit him before then because of money and school and other responsibilities... So for us it will have been five and a half months. It is really hard for us being apart, but we made it through a 15-month deployment, so it's not really anything new... But it is always amazing when I get to be with him after being apart so long (amazing the rest of the time too, but incredible on those nights ) Sorry if I share too much, but I am excited!!

It will have been 5 and a half months by the time I get to be with FH on our wedding night not only no sex, but no physical contact or anything (thanks Army...) but I know it will be more than amazing! I'm so excited and I cannot wait to be with him again, and as his *wife!*

This one actually never crossed my mind! Just curious when you guys say no sex does that just mean actuall intercourse or does that mean abosolutly NO stimulation whatsoever??? A month might as well be a year LOL!!

Sorry... my WWforum posts have been playing tricks on me

Well, My fH and I have discussed this just the other day and when I asked him about that, he looked at me like I was crazy. Then he goes, "So you are coming home after the Bachelorette party, because we can sleep in two different rooms". First of all I knew what he meant and no I am not going to give in. I think that we should wait at least a month before wedding, but I am steadily convincing him. Its a hard thing to do! LOL! I want it to be exciting during the honeymoon.

My fh and i are taking a sex break of 3 months! basically because we have too he is in the Navy and well actually have no choice but to, before we decided that 1 month sex break was what we both wanted then this happened. oh well its all for a great reason.

We are taking a break of maybe a week, we tried four months, then we couldnt do it, then that went to maybe two months couldnt do it..1 month was also two long,so here we are two weeks away..well try 2 weeks..but dont know if we can..i think we will

We aren't planning to take a break from sex but the week of we will be having both my father and his parents and sister staying with us and helping us get ready, so I doubt we will be able to have any alone time for sex anyways. Plus I feel weird about it with other people in the house. So we will probably not have sex the week before.

It depends on the schedule of my cycle actually because if I will calculate to be on then I will do before the wedding. Something about being out of town (honeymoon) I love being initimate. My FH probably would wait if I asked, he believes in the moment and all the fairy tales which comes with a wedding.

As Unique said, and I've said it many times. You will be totally, 100% completely exhausted by the time everything is said and done on your wedding night. He might muster up the energy for a quickie while you're snoring away. This was the case for my first marriage and my current marriage. You're best bet is to expect waiting till your honeymoon if you're going on one.

We will be doing this..for at least a week. I initially asked for 2 weeks to make it extra special..but that was no-go. LOL!

We have already stopped, we are doing 3 months. We know we will be tired and have discussed it, but we are for sure going to try!

We're doing everything BUT sex. LOL. We'll be sneaking away after the ceremony. Hahahaha

Wow its good to know that so many of you guys are going to be doing it too. Now I'm thinking of extending the break to a month.

@jlam...I also wanted to do the night before apart. thats a must for me!

@Sarah T....I'm thinking no sex and no stimulation at all because I don't think we'd make it even a week if stimulation was allowed

@Unique...I hadn't really thought of that. We probably will be tired but its worth a try

@Pumpkin...lol i guess the title could make u think that lol
