what does virginity means to you

[Renewedheart]

I am a virgin and I'm gald that I am. I will be very happy to wait untill marriage.

 

[eelhsa]

I have waited my whole life for the man I will marry one day. I don't regret it for one moment, even though I have made mistakes and it hasn't always been easy.

I know it will be a beautiful, indescribably lovely thing to be able to share myself with my husband, knowing that I have completely saved myself for him and only him.

Maybe it's old-fashioned, and it's obviously under-rated in today's world, but I think that it's a wonderful, priceless gift to be able to give your spouse. It's something I treasure very much.

 

[WittyDewi]

I do totally agree with you eelhsa and renewedheart, because i think if you say that you love God you will obey HIM no matter what world offers you. Including to be patient and take care yourself, ur body until the right person come.

Virginity is not just incredibly important through god, but you have NO idea just how it effects you biologically and emotionally!

That's part of how I accept God's word as truth. He may not explain it thoroughly, but if you look into the natural effects of losing one's virginity you see why waiting makes a difference. (Not to knock anyone who didn't wait, I give my love to you freely )

When you have sex for the first time, even in cases of RAPE, you build a HUGE emotional bond to that person. If you wait until marriage, that can solidify your already strong bond, and make life better.

In the case of the female, the body also works VERY hard to get you pregnant, first tmie or not. As soon as the act is committed, dozens of bodily functions change in order to direct the body towards pregnancy. Its not just going to be a short lived experience!

Theres even more that happens to us physically, emotionally, and mentally because of it. Sex is fun and IMPORTANT. It's worth saving and taking care of it

It has huge bearing on our spirituality and pretty much everything else. It's not something that can just be tossed aside, after all, its the beginning of life, and look how huge life is!

I wholeheartedly believe in waiting until marriage, I think it's one of the best things you can do for yourself. Once you're married, you can have all the sex you want. Its not hard to wait either, if you trust in yourself and that God is backing you up. As for peer pressure? You can control who you hang out with too.

I realise that life can be hard and that the pressure of society presses us into it, and I offer so much love to anyone who didn't wait or any other situation. Waiting to me is worth it.

Very few people wait until marriage. I didn't and I'm not torn up about it

Well, I wouldn't say that.

Sexual relations outside of the Marriage Covenent is a violation of the Marriage Covenent. That includes before, during, and after marriage. Sex before marriage? Sin. During marriage with another partner? Adultery. Sin. After divorce? If not married, sin.

Question: "What does the Bible say about sex before marriage?"

Answer: There is no Hebrew or Greek word used in the Bible that precisely refers to sex before marriage. The Bible undeniably condemns adultery and sexual immorality, but is sex before marriage considered sexually immoral? According to 1 Corinthians 7:2, “yes” is the clear answer: “But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.” In this verse, Paul states that marriage is the “cure” for sexual immorality. First Corinthians 7:2 is essentially saying that, because people cannot control themselves and so many are having immoral sex outside of marriage, people should get married. Then they can fulfill their passions in a moral way.

Since 1 Corinthians 7:2 clearly includes sex before marriage in the definition of sexual immorality, all of the Bible verses that condemn sexual immorality as being sinful also condemn sex before marriage as sinful. Sex before marriage is included in the biblical definition of sexual immorality. There are numerous Scriptures that declare sex before marriage to be a sin (Acts 15:20; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13, 18; 10:8; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7). The Bible promotes complete abstinence before marriage. Sex between a husband and his wife is the only form of sexual relations of which God approves (Hebrews 13:4).

I am going to abstain until marriage. The bible says I will become one with my wife. How can I become one with my wife when I am have already became one with 15 other girls? If is it "un-cool" to be a virgin at my age, well I am not trying to please you anyway. =P

For me it means saving myself for my wife. I don't know if ive met her yet or who she will be. But i know i love her very much and she is definately worth waiting for.

well i definately agree .. its something you save for just one person- your husband or wife.. its the most beautiful gift u can give to each other

 

[Rachel777]

On the actual century, unfortunately have sex is as drink water or breath..people just do it and they don't matter about consecuences that bring after. Sex has created JUST for MARRIED people ...and Virginity is an escencial gift to give each other AFTER get married.

Let's put it this way would you sooner have a brand new truck or 1 that has 100,000 miles on it? Not too mention all the problems you can have with a USED vehicle

It's just as important as it always was. Simply because most people are miseducated on an issue doesn't change reality.

 

[AgeofKnowledge]

Very true but I know people who wish they had. CHRISTIAN friends that picked up STDs in high school, for example, and now have to live with them for the rest of their lives (as do their spouses).

True when I was a Christian I felt bad about not waiting, and I have friends that have picked up something because they slept with a little too many people with too little protection, but as an unbeliever I feel like sex is just a fun activity if you take precautions you should be fine (but precautions do sometimes fail)

 

[Muskokaman]

That is so true how many times have you heard someone say "wish I knew then what I know now" I remember hearing my own father say these words and wondered what it was he actually meant well now I know it's one of Gods little blessings that you get with age
Someone said "The wages of sin is death" this seems to apply to all facets of life be it sexual immorality, alcohol & drug abuse, violence and so on when I was younger I couldn't have forseen all the things that have come about, but with acute observation and some divine guidance and a desire to do what is right it becomes clear, very painfully clear and the results speak for themselves

 

[K-SO]

its just another reminder of how much of a loser i am

 

[Muskokaman]

Not true it's a testament to how much of a winner you are and what you have accomplished so far hold your head high and ignore the scoffers
Perhaps very soon you too will meet Miss right and you will look back and wonder why you gave it as much thought in the first place. It can be difficult when you are young but perservere!

peace and love

I personally have no 'issue' with waiting until marriage. if it makes me uncool in the eyes of peers or the rest of society I couldn't really care less. I don't deny that it's difficult to abstain from sex especially in the world we're in today, but I'd rather be led by the word of God than by the world anyway.
i'd hate to do something I regret then spend my life wondering why I did it and why I didn't wait for someone I love (and married) but the way society is labeling sex as just another passtime or something to do as SOON as you enter into a relationship is just stupid and dangerous.
idk just my oppinion, but it's backed by the word of God so I'm sticking to it xP Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

 

[AgeofKnowledge]

What! If you're a Christian then you are NO loser but are a beloved child of God. Sometimes we feel that way because of what life dishes out, what people bring, and the enemy's attacks but those feelings are unjustified imho. You are a WINNER!

its just another reminder of how much of a loser i am

Haha, I agree completely. I am definitely waiting until marriage for my first time. I get a lot of pressure to do things to fit in, but sometimes you just have to not care about what other people think and do what is right for you.
