I've been in a relationship for 3 years now and recently started feeling more conviction for this, but I'm struggling. Please pray for me and my boyfriend, and for God's leading
Hi, I appreciate you sharing with me. If you are Christian, try to lean into the Holy Spirit - he will guide you towards the right path. I will definitely keep u in prayer 🙏
About Reason 2: Hugging, kissing, cuddling, as well as many forms of non-physical affection also release oxytocin and can build emotional bonds just as strong and "clouding" as those formed through sexual intimacy. So, should all these forms of affection be avoided until marriage? You get my point. This, of course, doesn’t take away from the fact that for most people-regardless of religious beliefs-sex is far more fulfilling and meaningful within the context of a strong emotional connection.
Husband and wife relationship is the closest human relationship (even closer than the parent-child relationship) in this world for only in death do they part. As such, God has created sex to be enjoyed only in the married life - to deepen the love and bond of the wedded couple and for procreation. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, it was nice to listen to your reasoning! This topic can be confusing because people can be very polarized on it. I hope understanding yourself and what you want will result in a fulfilling life for you 🤍
You’re welcome! It’s easy to make decisions out of peer pressure or fear of missing out without considering the repercussions. My hope is that more people will make more informed decisions.
Hi GTS 👋, how easy have you found it dating in Christian circles ? local church or Christian dating apps? Etc... I apologise , these are questions rather than comments.
I suggest you watch Mr Sam Vaknin, a psychologist like no other. For me his lectures on life and personality disorders changed my life in a positive way. I like your way of thinking and maturity, and of course I subscribed.
It’s true Of course But on a book I read A woman said if you didn’t do that before 18 You won’t be able to ever 😹 I’m not a christian But sister as you told I too believe a girl is pure 😌
Hey, thanks for the comment. Not sure what that woman meant by that, but that sounds superstitious! The standard of purity applies to both christian men and women, God bless.
I’m not condemning promiscuity or anything because I was like that too. But, funny you’re making your ideal guy wait and pay a premium price when you gave it up easy for the others. But, whatever makes you Christian Asian women happy.
Hi, I am not afraid of that for a couple of reasons - but the biggest reason being that I know God will take care of all my needs. That includes who I will marry (if I do get married), he knows what kind of guy is best for me ((Matthew 7:11). The pillar of what makes a good relationship is love, trust, and respect. Also, for the argument that I need to "test drive" before getting married, there's simply more risk than reward for me personally. I hope this answers your question!
@@greenteasister Good that you know what is important for you. About the pillars of a relationship, I would also add to your list: connection. This special connection is what creates the bond that makes the love between a man and a woman so special. It is what elevates the relationship above all others. Of course people have different needs and this connection can be formed in different ways, but be very aware that s3x can also be a big portion of it. And there I think that mismatching s3x drives can be a disaster. I've seen long relationships end because both partners were just tired. They loved each other but the relationship became a friendship and this is not good at all. Honestly I think people should be mature about relationships. Marriage is a big big big thing and to do it right you have to be 100% aligned with your future partner. This means taking time to get to know them in all the ways possible. Ps: don't put god in this mess. He is not responsible for your decisions. It's not God's fault if you mess up your relationships.
@@greenteasister i agreed to your point,dont listen to what that guy is saying. Sex is important in marriage but thats not the whole baggage its the love, trust, respect thats the most important for marriage
To each their own. This isn’t a Christian value more of a traditional one. There is nowhere in the Bible that says you should wait and that’s for a reason. Human worth is not measured by this practice. God made pleasure and it would be hypocritical to punish those who engage in it, especially if society can’t produce a proper marriageable partner.
