Waiting...

jarednmegan · June 2013

I know this board is painfully quiet most of the time, but could someone please remind me that FI and I aren't the only ones waiting until our wedding night?

TIA.

We're waiting. People think we're insane, but it's our choice.

You're not the only ones. We didn't even kiss until our wedding and had never spent time completely and totally alone (without a roommate or family member in the house {we both lived off campus} or in a public place) until our wedding night. And I wouldn't change a thing.

We waited. Technically until the morning after our wedding

It's worth it, don't worry!

Thank you, ladies

@fpaemp2011, you and H have a lot more willpower than FI and me! We were much more cautious at first about being alone together but after awhile we just got "comfortable," sometimes too comfortable. Haha.

I admire those of you who are waiting. Keep the faith and be of good courage. I wish we had waited but unfortunately we depended on our own strength and will power instead of asking God to help us and putting things in place to prevent any temptation.

Good for you!

The argument that a couple has to have sex to make sure they're physically compatible just irritates me. I just...arggggggh! Isn't it enough that we're physically attracted to each other?!

Also, it's nice to have a board where I can air these kinds of views without being criticized.

It hasn't been easy for FI and me to wait. We've been praying ever since we first got together that we wouldn't succumb, but it's still so easy to slip up and mess with boundaries. Not spending so much time alone together would help, but since we only see each other a couple days a week right now we like to have each other's undivided attention whenever possible.

We certainly haven't been what I'd consider "pure," but I know waiting is still gonna be worth it.

I loved this part when we got to watch your wedding on the live video stream!

FI and are technically waiting, we haven't kissed on the lips, although we haven't remained pure either, too much time alone and like @mattycam said, we've trusted on our own willpower instead of relying on God. I think that's one of my biggest regrets that I will only be a "technical virgin" come our wedding night.

I know you feel like you've failed, but don't be TOO hard on yourselves. Remember, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ.

I really needed to read this thread! We are also waiting. As others have mentioned, we struggle with the boundaries sometimes. It's nice to know there are other people in the same situation.

That's exactly why I started this thread. This board is pretty dead most of the time, which is unfortunate because it's a more encouraging place than other boards on TK.

Let's all try to post on here more often

We waited too. It was hard but I am glad that we did.

Ambybambi1125 · June 2013

A little late here, but we are waiting too. It's been very challenging, but I know it will be rewarding come the wedding day.

fre3doms · July 2013

My FI and I are waiting too. We try to not be alone somewhere too long. We both still live with our parents so there's usually someone else in the house or pets to bug us.

We have kissed on the lips some. But backed off because we do not want to go too far. Right now kisses on the check and forehead are enough. We did not even kiss for the first 20 months of our relationship---granted he was away for most of the first 16.

Stay strong. I often am praying when the two of us are together. I am looking forward to February though.

@ravenray I love you signature! That's one of my favorite C.S. Lewis quotes.

You all make me so happy!

It's nice to know others are keeping the strength.

I really admire those who aren't even kissing, My Fiance and I have failed into temptation a few too many times, but we are so serious about pleasing God, we know it will be worth it.

I will pray for you all, and I hope you all pray for me too! This has got to be the most exciting thing to see!

We are waiting as well, neither of us have kissed either. The wedding is coming up in a couple of weeks and it's getting really hard!
