Who all is particapting in being celibate until marriage

We are not

i asked fh he said why would we do that we have had sex for almost the entire time we have been togther

FH's pastor asked us this same question. FH was very hones and advised him we were not.

What are your opinions on being celibate until marriage?

To each their own. FH and I have talked about it and we say after the invitations go out, that's it. For this reason invitations could be going out less than a month before the wedding. I wish I was kidding.

If you are being celibate, how long has it been?

We got engaged in December 2012 and said it was our new years resolution. It didn't even stick 12 hours into the new year. Oh well, it was worth it. That's when we made the rule about the invitations LOL

What did your FI have to say about it? Did he question or ask why?

I don't remember. We're just kind of magically on the same page with these things I think so I probably brought it up and explained my position (poor choice of words LOL) and he went along with it.

I think it would make for an awesome wedding night which is why I want to do it. I'm sure that's what he's thinking too.

We're getting married in the Catholic Church and I know sex is part of the pre-marital counseling. I'm curious to see if they actually address premarital sex and our plans for abstinence prior to the wedding or if they pretend that everyone's a virgin. I'm actually really curious to see how they handle it.

I have 2 kids from a previous marriage so there's no pretense. I'm not a virgin so why would I be engaged to a guy and not have sex with him. Who are we kidding? (my mother probably LOL) Which makes me giggle because she would mortified if she knew just how early in our relationship it happened.

What are your opinions about being celibate until marriage?

Well, I'm a Christian and believe the Bible is pretty clear about that. Although, FH and I were not concerned with living the Christian lifestyle when we started dating, we've changed in the last couple of years.

If you are being celibate, how long has it been?

In Sept. of 2011 we made the decision to abstain until we were married. We slipped up about every month until March of 2012. So, it's been about a year....a long, long year.

What did your FI have to say about it? Did he question or ask why?

We made the decision together.

Nope. If anything maybe a week before at most.

But in total honesty... we have a great sex life so it's not like we need a break to make it special again. We have lived together for 4 years and have a daughter... it is no secret that we have sex.

It is really about personal preference though. If you and FH are both fine with it, and would feel better taking a break, then I say go for it! It's not like you can't change your mind ; )

What are your opinions about being celibate until marriage?

I am not religious, so for me I see no point. I think part of getting to know someone is getting to know them sexually. I call OH 'The one night stand who never left all the time' I was going through a sad time in my life, and planned just to meet his guy for cinco de mio, have sex with him, and never call him again.. now I'm marrying him! - Needless to say.. we had sex early, and I'm glad. No surprises

We are however waiting a month to have sex before our wedding - not for any other reason but to make the honeymoon night special

If you are being celibate, how long has it been?

Its been about 3 days.

What did your FI have to say about it? Did he question or ask why?

He liked the idea of no sex for 30 days before hand.. it gets up anxious for our wedding night even though we aren't virgins.

FH and I have never had sex with each other. I asked him his views on sex on the third date (I like to be honest and open early as to not waste time). He said he didn't want to have sex till he got married. Fear of getting someone pregs because it happened to his uncle.

I didn't want to because I felt sex got in the way of getting to really know someone and ends up being primarily sexual. Neither of us is a virgin. He's been celibate for 6/7 years, me for two. Sex is great, just not a defining thing for us.

What if he sucks? He'll be my husband. We'll work on it lol.

We did even though we lived together before we were married.

FutureMrsW, I totally respect you trying so hard to obey God's word It can be rough, but keep doing what you know to be right, and God will honor you for it. you're only a couple months away! You can do it

As for me, both me and my fiance are virgins, and we have decided to wait until we are married because we believe it's the right thing to do, but that doesn't mean it's easy! Lol

What are your opinions on being celibate until marriage?

IMO, I won't buy a car without a test drive or buy shoes without trying them on, so I have issues with the idea of marrying someone without seeing if we're compatible in every way possible, sexually included. But for those who do choose to wait, more power to you, it just isn't for me.

If you are being celibate, how long has it been?

We have kids, so we pretty much are celibate but not by choice, lol. I think right now, we are going on 13 days (urgh).

What did your FI have to say about it?

I told him that I wanted us to be celibate 6 months prior to the wedding to make our wedding night more special, which he says is ridiculous because it will already be special because it will be our first time as man and wife, which is sweet, but I think he's just blowing smoke so he doesn't have to go that long without, lol.

I always found it ironic that those who were most convinced that one should never have sex outside of marriage also seemed to be the ones determined that NotFroofy and I should never be allowed to get married at all.

We'd actually been together for nearly 8 years before we could legally get married. And no, we weren't being celibate just in hope that one day we'd be allowed to get married.

I can't even imagine going through all the stress I have through work AND then add planning a wedding on top of that AND no sex. No wonder people turn into bridezillas.

What are your opinions on being celibate until marriage?

I think sex is part of being compatible or not. But to each his own.

If you are being celibate, how long has it been?

I had a health issue a few weeks ago. For a week I thought I was pregnant and it scared the crap out of me. After that we decided to just be celibate till we're married. But we slipped up. I want to try to do it again.

About 5 days or something.

What did your FI have to say about it? Did he question or ask why?

No. He agreed.

My FI and I have not been active since December 2012, which is like 3 months. We only have less than 2 months, so I think we can hold out a lil longer. I want our wedding night to be special as well...the anticipation!!!

We will be living together for a few months before the wedding, but we've never had sex and i dont intend to start now. He can wait another year until we've said I Do. Im still a virgin and he has been celibate for over 6 years now, so another year wont kill him.

My FH just asked me how I would feel about this the other day & I would not be opposed to it. We are both Christians so we know how we are supposed to be living our lives. We haven't made a decision yet. We will be moving in together in June & I think that's when it would get tough for us. I believe if you have he will power & you both are in agreement then go for it!

My FH and I are celibate, it was a vow that I made after my divorce a few years back. I began dating and I wanted to remain celibate so that I could get to know someone on a level other than just sex, and as I began to date, most men ran away because they wanted sex, when I met my FH i initially told him upfront that I was celibate and had been that way since my divorce (going on 3 years now), and he was amazed that I had such standards and morals and as he (because he is older than i am and does things the "old school" way) was willing to earn that right and part of me. To this day he still says it made him cherish me and love me for my heart and not my body. I so love that. Has it been hard well a time or two it has, but we dont live together so that makes it easier. But as I have discovered by dating him there is more than one way to make love to a person and making love to the mind in a non sexual way is amazing lol

We are being Celibate until after wedding. We decided to do this in January. We want to savor the moment for our wedding night. :-)

We tried doing this. My idea was to start the day after V-Day. It lasted about three days. Not to mention FH told me that it was "hurting him emotionally."
