Easier said than done.

Okay so previously I thought that not having sex until marriage was dumb. I thought why not? Be responsible and if no single parents arise from this then everything should be fine.

However recently I met this amazing women and she is all about this notion. We’ve been dating for about 6-7 months now. I have been patient with her and want to continue to do so. At this point there is no intimacy at all, not even a kiss.

So my question is, how do I come to terms with or suppress my sexual desire to remain in pursuit of this woman because it is going to be a long time?

I can understand why two people would refrain from having sex until marriage, but not to show a natural affection for one another by kissing seems a bit strange, I hope you at least hold hands. If you have waited months already I am sure you can wait until your wedding day.

Hey brother, first of all I want to congratulate you for honoring God's plan for sexual intimacy--He specifically gave the gift of sex for those who are married for good reason: sex is for marriage only so that any childbirths that result will provide for a Godly and Biblical environment to raise the children in.

I am single and have not married yet, but I can tell you that those who are married enjoy the best kind of sexual intimacy there is....God honors those who honor His Word! There is a reason why STD's are so prevalent this day in age: it is God's punishment for those who sleep around and presume that there are no consequences for their sins. Stay true to the King bro!

And all glory be to God for giving you the gift of self control (temperance) so you can be a strong witness both now, before you get married and while you are married!

Just do the same thing you have done for the last six months

I've heard stories like this before, and it didn't turn out to be what the guy thought, the woman actually had a Penis and that is why she didn't want to be intimate, I would check the goods before I went any further, failing that put your trust in god

What a bummer

Yes and theres that..

All I can say is, if she is holding you off at this point,
imagine what marriage might hold for you. Insert shudder here.
Leopard spots are real.

Humm wow is all I can say... I can understand one wanting to wait to see if the person is really into them..

But the kissing now would be a Red Flag for me.. And no physical contact is a big red flag..

It is a choice you will have to make yourself..

Even at my age heck I want to sample the goods prior to a full commitment..

Good luck with your choices only you have to live with them..

It may be the best thing that has ever happened to you and it could end up being your worst nightmare~~~

^^ Exactly, you wouldn't buy a car without a test drive.. Or at least kick the tires

Not gonna happen.

I'm not going to commit my future,
to a woman I haven't taken for some test drives.

I'd want to make sure, the woman and I felt
compatible, with, and to each other. And, not
have to worry if either of us feels like we settled.

Ohhh hell I want to kick the tires let the air out and then air them back up to make sure they hold~~

Yeah me too, and make sure the wipers are in good order..

A woman is not a car that one takes out for a test drive,
and a marital relationship isn't supposed to be all about sex.

True, a spouse is not a car.
But, a car won't keep you tied up in divorce court.
Nor, will it superglue your willy to your belly while
you sleep.

i like your point of view

No kissing????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
So you are dating someone for months and you don't even know if you have chemistry?
No way freaking Jose would I spend 6-7 months of my life on someone who didn't even want to kiss.
And if someone would not want to be intimate -by which I mean sex- until marriage, I'd run for the hills.

I would not EVER marry someone if I hadn't tested the goodies, knew we were compatible and had matching sex interest and drives, and so on.

I have WAY too many questions, one being, does she know that you are dating each other?

Not even a kiss? Strong religious beliefs may be the cause. If not then there's something a bit strange about things. I would think very carefully about what the future may hold. Does she really care?
I think after 6 months. .... I mean that's usually a great time in a relationship.

In short I wouldn't marry before intimacy. There is too much at stake, a chunk of your life for a start. divorce is hard m8.

Pushover, you are only friends with your lady.
