Isn't it sad how there is no such thing anymore as waiting for sex until you're married?

when i was younger, i used to think that way. i couldn't imagine not having sex until marriage now though. that would be insane!
 
If the truth be told . . . . .there wasn't much of it even back when . . . .

If you read the journals / dairies of way back when . .. . it happened.

Even at some of the old "tent revivals" in the 1800's . . . it was said that there were as many souls conceived as saved.

When people LOVE they will want to have sex, . .. that has not changed and will not change. What's changed is it is not as "hidden" as it once was.

No, I do not think it is sad at all. Jonathan and I celebrated our 17th anniversary on the 2nd of January -- we date that from the first time we had sex.

I do not ever (and do not want our children to ever) confuse "romantic" with good, or real, or even better than something else. Romantic is a state of mind to make us feel misty eyed. Life decisions aren't about misty eyes -- but about long term goals and commitments.

In the middle ages, marriage as we now know it was for the upper class, to guarantee inheritance. For the rest of the folk, you set up house together in most places. The same thing was certainly true in ancient Judea where polygamy was practiced, and generally marriage was acknowledged when a man took a woman into his tent.

I'm not impressed by the idea that people could or should wait until some romantic moment. It's worked just fine for a lot of people I know to follow more modern routes.
