For 7yrs of dating from medical school, it was indeed difficult but we had to choose God’s way!
Just like Joseph, our common stand was; “How then can we do this great wickedness and sin against God?”
Genesis 39:9c
We were honest and had candid conversations about it. I remembered asking her one time if she knew why I put my hand in my pocket sometimes when we are together? If you know, you know😎
We also knew from statistics that the chances of the relationship breaking up increases after pre-marital sex, bcs there is nothing to long for any longer. Given we were certain of spending the rest of our lives together, we couldn’t attempt something that could jeopardise that long term goal.
Waiting makes your honeymoon magical. The beautiful experience of seeing our actual bodies on our wedding night for the first time is such an experience that should not be traded on the altar of pre-marital sex.
As Believers in relationship, you have to stand your guard! You will be happy you did!
Nobody talks about how difficult it is to stay chaste when you meet someone you have wonderful chemistry with.
There is this constant battle between your emotions and your principles.
