Sex. Waiting til we're married, who else andhow's it going?!

That's really awesome that you're sticking with your beliefs! good for you! =)

@MrsMoBright, I want to commend you two on your commitment. That's it. DH and I lived together before we were married in a private ceremony in our home this past November.

We are also waiting but If it wasn't for Jesus... hmm lol

That is awesome! Blessings to you both. @So&Jo if it wasn't for Jesus made me literally laugh out loud: )

Just to make sure you are not disappointed: I hear from every married couple I know that on the wedding night you both are so shot from the day that you don't have sex. It's a draining day so you just both fall asleep. So don't get mad if it doesn't happen on the night itself.

Good for you, FH and I are not religious so we are not following any sort of traditional path, but I have a lot of respect for you to have such strong faith and to be sticking to your beliefs..I imagine it must be difficult!! Congrats and have a wonderful wedding/honeymoon!

Thanks you guys for your encouraging comments and blessings. I hear you Pancakes but I got a feeling we gonna catch our second wind somewhere late that evening when were wrapping our reception up, the anticipation alone creates energy! So&Jo..... Riiight, riight if it wasn't for Him! Lol!!!!!

FH and I haven't waited and have lived together for the last 3 1/2 years. However we have decided not to have sex again until after we are married. We started this last month and get married in June. We have recommitted to God and that is the reason we decided to do this.

I think that is amazing. I always thought I could do that until I met FH. Granted he is the only one I have ever done anything with and vice versa so it's sort of like we waited. Lol.

Just one legit question for you though. Do you ever worry that maybe it won't be good? Like you've waited so long, put a lot of hype on it, what if it is really terrible with him?

Not for religious reasons, but my FH and I were each other's first at an age when most people already have experience, so I can speak to that. You'll both be nervous the first couple of times, so just try to relax and have a sense of humor about it. Don't expect it to be fabulous the first time, but if you're patient with each other and communicate, you'll get there. :-)

I think that's wonderful Krystina. Wow that too is no easy thing to especially sharing the same home but you can do it! I wish all the best and a exciting wedding night!!!

To be honest Ashley yes I have, but not too much. I love him, I believe he is the husband God has for me..... so surely God knows what we both like right and we aren't perfect we do kiss and we are both very affectionate and the chemistry between us is verrrrry strong so I think we'll be fine

Thanks MsMoBright. Most days aren't too bad, but there are times that it is very difficult. Since we have lived together so long we only have 1 bed and our daughter's bed. Nights that are more tempting one of us sleeps on the couch. It helps that half the time we work opposite shifts though so we aren't always home at the same time.

It has been almost 6 months now, but before the wedding we did wait on account of our Christian convictions.

And as for the popular opinion that you're too exhausted to do anything on your wedding night--I imagine that statistic varies greatly based on if you have been sleeping together beforehand. I'm not aware of any couple in our situation (friends getting married who also waited for marriage) who were too tired that night. The priority goes up quite a bit, and you make time!

Thanks for answering my questions MrsMoBright. Just something I had wondered and thought about.

That's awesome MrsMoBright. I have waited shockingly until I met my FH (at age 28) and he was my first at age 29. I'm sometimes disappointed in myself for not sticking it out til we're actually married, but I thank God for grace. I'm still overjoyed to say he's my one and only, first and last. God will most definitely bless you two in your intimacy. Whooo hooo the fireworks on your wedding night will be all worth it too

My FH and I have been together for 5 years and lived together for 4 of them. We started being abstinent after 2 years of dating. We were each others first and once we knew that we would get married and spend the rest of our lives together we decided to become abstinent until marriage (I think it's a lot harder for him than it is for me though)

ETA: I love seeing other couples that choose to be abstinent. I have no problem with people that choose not to be though.

My fiance and I have been living together for the past 2 years and have been dating for about 3 years. We have not had sex at all since moving in together, but we have beforehand. He is religious, and I am not so much. For him- it has been fairly easy- probably because of his faith to rely on. For me, it has been like running a never-ending marathon. The only thing making it any "easier" right now is that I can FINALLY see the finish line! We are getting married October 4, 2015! I definitely admire couples who are able to wait. It takes a LOT of strength and self-control and patience..

Hoping it was all worth it!

I'm sure it will be though, because the last time we had sex, it was honestly the best I have ever had.

I think I'll have us wait two-to three months before the wedding. We'll probably be stressed then anyways, so being busy will make it go by quicker

Loved reading your story and all of the comments below. I hear less and less about waiting for marriage it seems but I think it's really cool that all you ladies are choosing this path with your partners. I hope all of you have a magical wedding night!
