So I've read something in the Bible about marriage, that if a man or woman has a desire for sex they should marry. (something like that, I'm not too sure)
I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years (we're both 20) and he's being very serious about wanting to get married. We've had sex countless times before but here and there I feel kinda guilty because we're not married yet. I'm thinking about becoming celibate, and I don't know when we'll be able to get married (money issues) so I don't know how long it would have to last.
How can I tell him about this decision?

Would it still be a sin if we're having sex but are going to get married soon, and we are each other's firsts?
 
yes, it would be. tell him honestly how you feel. the sooner you are able to do this, the sooner you will be able to become celibate. it is this kind of honesty that will get you to true celibacy.
 
you don't have to be married on paper to be married in Gods eyes. as long as you made your promise with each other and to God to be together as man and wife forever it is the same. the rest is ceremony. I hope your financial situation changes soon so you can have your wedding. best of luck.
 
Its still a sin, its not that hard going with out sex for awhile, if he loves you he wont mind. I know people who became christians whilst living in sin unmarried and stopped having sex and sleeping in different beds until they got married, whats God leading you to do? Listen and follow what his trying to tell you.
 
Sex is not a sin. Nothing is. If you love each other you'll find a way to be together as spouses. Good luck.
 
I feel bad for religious people =,(

You should just be sexually responsible... and also not base marital decisions on sexual history/activity. Marry the person because you want to be with them and you think it'll work out.
 
Sorry I can't answer any of your other questions but I can answer this:
Yes, it still is a sin, sorry to say.
