When adult christians date from wordly backgrounds and abstain from sex following biblical principles how do they keep the flame burning? How do you keep romance alive without either falling into sin or becomming too cold and it feeling like friendship?
I know sex isnt the answer I am asking from 2adults from sexual backgrounds now following Gods word. How to be and remain intimate (not sex or sexual acts) without turning stale? Has anyone had a similar experience and how did you keep the relationship fresh and still attracted to your partner without it slipping into feeling like friends.... Adult christians reply
 
There is MUCH more to dating and love than sex. If you do not know this, you have, unfortunately, not experienced true love.

edit:

The modern obsession with sex, especially among teenagers and college age kids, deprives you of experiencing the true emotions of love.

When I used to date, this was some time ago, it was about getting to know a person. Learning her likes and dislikes, seeing if our personality was compatible or not, and generally getting to know each other as human beings. It was never only about having sex.

I am sorry for you guys. It is sad that you see sex as an essential part of dating. Culture has transformed the act of love into some cheap things.

edit:

quote "I think some fundies just need to smoke a little reefer and ask themselves "why so serious?" "

Because sex IS a serious thing. It is not a sport or a form of entertainment, it is a physical expression of love to a person you want to spend the rest of your life with. It is a beautiful thing that, unfortunately, you lot are debasing beyond all recognition.
 
Because people do not pray. It is possible to have a good marriage and a good sex life. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is Model of Purity. Even though she and St. Joseph never once had sexual intercourse, she can provide help for married couples who invoke her intercession.

God bless!

Sex never creates friendships.Get to know the person first.There are two vital and strong desires of all peoples. To love and be loved. And to know and be known.Sex cannot meet any of these needs.If these are met the sex is strong and lasting. If they are absent, then the sex is empty and will not satisfy soul.
 
Most of the Christian girlfriends and women I've been with were great in the sack, I guess it's because they're so repressed most of the time.
 
Just as much as sex is pleasurable, it is also the root cause in many social problems - family breaking, relationship severe leading to depression, suicidal, negligent, running away with another person, feelings hurt, feeling rejection, cheated, teenage-pregnancy, subsequqently not able to cope with parenthood and responsibility, leading to children delinquency etc.

Marriage is instituted by God and is holy. Is keeping people to behave themselves because of sin.

Also, romance is not just about sex. Lustful men may only have that one thing in mind. They just want females bodies, not their heart. Though once having the body, they break girls' hearts as well. So be careful who do you sleep with. Is best to abstain until you marry someone you truely love and who truely care for you too. This is true romance.
 
Sex is good. 2 consenting adults, engaging in pleasurable activity with no harm done to anybody? What's the god damn problem?

I think some fundies just need to smoke a little reefer and ask themselves "why so serious?"
