• Never Been Kissed

  I saw this news clip about a couple who didn’t kiss before their wedding day…

  And I had to write to Foxnews:

  Just saw the clip about the couple who never kissed before marriage and wanted to say that it’s not as unusual as it seems.  There was a phenomenon of such promises among Christian young people after “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” by Joshua Harris hit the bookstores about a decade ago.  With the idea of not dating around just for the sake of dating but for the purpose of marriage in mind (from this book) also came the idea to stay pure til marriage and not kiss til then.  Though it wasn’t as a result of hopping on this bandwagon, persay, my husband and I did not kiss each other while we were dating either.  It was hard — but so worth it!  And no, we did not split up after 6 months.  We’ve been married for a few years now and have never regretted that decision.  Physical intimacy is something you can grow in together after you’ve made a commitment of mind, heart, and spirit.  There is great freedom for satisfying sex in marriage when you don’t have the baggage of past garbage.

  Thanks for reporting!

  P.S.  a note for my xanga readers, just to clarify, this is not to say that I think that everyone needs to make such a commitment as well.  abstinence, yes.  but determining physical boundaries is something you can do for yourself with the Holy Spirit’s leading.
