Love, Marriage and S.ex

i love the article shenn posted on her blog...so i decided to copy and paste it on mine, so i can read it again...and again...but i have one question though, if it doesn't really go in that particular order, does that create a glitch in the matrix. but then again, glitches are what life is all made up of...we just like to look at them as perfection, huh...?

Love, Marriage and S.ex
by Michael Webb

If you want to have a blissful relationship, don't ruin the chances by introducing things into your relationship until you are ready for it.

I'm constantly bewildered when people can't figure out why they keep having failed relationships when they always muddle them with physical intimacy. It's fairly common for couples to kiss on their first date, begin caressing soon afterwards and start a s.exual relationship within a few weeks or months of knowing each other.

While I'm not going to tell you how long you should wait to begin kissing, hugging and making non-s.exual contact, I'm going to boldly state that our bodies and minds are not designed for s.exual relationships until marriage. The two go hand and hand and to try to separate them causes a lot of emotional turmoil in our relationships.

The average American has ten s.exual partners before they are married. They either think each partner is "the one" or they think s.ex is so wonderful they don't want to miss out on the opportunity. S.ex is indeed wonderful and very special and saving it for the wedding night
is treating it as something special. Sharing it with practically everyone you date makes it rather ordinary.

Here are just a few of the emotional problems pre-marital s.ex can cause:

When you sleep with someone you aren't married to, they begin to get concerned with how many other people you have slept with.

If you are willing to have s.ex with someone you aren't married to, will you feel the same after you are married? How about your spouse?

One has a tendency to compare their partner with their previous ones. Regret, jealousy, guilt, remorse and angst are just a few of the emotions that s.ex before marriage will bring.

* Since s.exual relationships were designed for married couples, your mind naturally begins pushing the relationship further along than where you might be.

You might not even know the person you are sleeping with but the s.exual act will naturally make you form an emotional attachment to them. Many couples who really shouldn't be together are married because a pre-marital s.exual relationship "bonded" them together when
they wouldn't have bonded without being physically intimate.

I've talked with quite a few people who waited to begin a s.exual relationship until they were married and *none* of them have regretted it. I've chatted with numerous people who began a s.exual relationship before the wedding and practically all of them had regrets.

While waiting to have s.ex until you are married won't guarantee a blissful relationship, it will certainly cause your mate to honor and respect you much more than if you didn't.

Love, marriage and s.ex -- let's keep them in that order.

Something to think about..
