I was just wondering, I'm 100% atheist, but marriage first... So is this still the group for me?

We may be looked down on because of our abstinence, but as the bible says in 1 Peter 2:9, 'For you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, his own special people. That you may proclaim the praises of him who called you out of the darkness and into his marvelous light'.

And in 1 Timothy 4:12- Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.'

Amen!! Lots of people think we're crazy and uptight because we wait. I like to think that we are refusing to give someone's 'leftovers' to our soulmate

Cool group! In my opinion I don't care if you have sex before or after marriage, as long you do it with someone you REALY love.

Follow your heart.... Not your hormones.

This group is an epic win! There is nothing wrong with waiting to have sex until marriage. All those movies you see where people have sex without consquence are bullcrap. Sadly virginity and chastity is mocked in today's world but it's pretty obvious that those who wait til marriage to have sex are less likely to divorce and are FAR less likely to get an STD.

Very nice group here! In this day and age it is very hard for me to find fellow people who have the same beliefs as I do. It is an honor to meet you all.

Great group!

I waited until marriage, and I'm totally glad I did. When I think about all the opportunities I had to lose my virginity before I met my now husband of two years, I feel this mixture of relief and joy. Relief because I made the right choice, and know now what a precious thing I would have given up to someone who did not earn it, so to speak. Joy, because my wedding night was spectacular, not droll, been-there-done-that. And of course, our relationship is rock-solid. Sex is so much more meaningful in wed-lock...and it's a shame that people on the outside -regardless of religion- don't understand that. They don't see the value and they are drawn by lust, the heat of the moment, into a mistake that will live with them forever, most of the time, they don't even relieve what they lost. But again, this group is great, and is a beacon of light in this deviant world!

Rock on!
