Stupid
I think if you can do it, more power to you but I wouldn’t waste my time like that.
That is very pure and beautiful. My husband’s best friend and his fiance did exactly that. They had their first kiss on their wedding day. It was the most romantic and passionate wedding I’ve ever seen.
Ask the Lord to show you who to date. He will bring you the right person who is pure in heart, like you.
hard core
i think its romantic. however most guys are the kind who only wanna get in your pants. so if u find a good guy who will wait then do it. dont change your beliefs or you for anyone.
I don’t agree with saving your first kiss because there’s nothing wrong with kissing before you get married. I like the waiting to have sex till marriage believe but not the kissing one. I think it’s kind if dumb. But that’s just what I think.
I believe it’s going way overboard but if that’s the way you were raised, so be it.
Honor your parents.
Understand that most people do not practice waiting so finding a fellow except within your inner circle will be difficult.
I would never marry a man I hadn’t kissed…nothing wrong with just kissing….after all how can I tell if part of the physical attraction I feel for him is real? And physical attraction needs to be part of the equation as it’s just one of the elements in a good relationship.
Just my opinion based on 56 years of experience.
I don’t believe in that.. if you want to save sex for marriage thats fine although I don’t believe in any of that it’s your own personal decision. Good luck with your courting
You should start "courting" soon? What century are you from?
I think that you’d better belong to a weird insular group like the Quiverfulls or the FLDS where there are young men who have the same beliefs, because no normal red-blooded American male is going to wait until marriage for sex, much less a kiss.
I think that’s very extreme and unnecessary Shelby. Honestly, I don’t think any boy out there will ever accept that, not even the religious boys that want to save sex for marriage. My advice is to really think hard about this decision that you’ve made, because I think you are going a little overboard with it. However, this is just my opinion, and if it’s really what you want then don’t settle for less.
I think it’s fine, but… don’t go around bragging that you’re doing that. I think it should be a completely intimate and personal decision by the couple.
It depends! I have known couples who have been 100% all about saving that first kiss for marriage, and that has worked out beautifully for them. It is good to develop a friendship and a depth of relationship that you know isn’t based solely on physical attraction. I know a lot of folks feel like you can’t feel chemistry without being physical with someone, but that isn’t true-if you click and are drawn to someone-you’ll know.
Though the courting experience wasn’t for my husband and I, I’m not going to slam your beliefs, especially since allowing yourself to be in that season of life is magical and exciting, exploring the prospect of falling deeply in love with someone and letting that love blossom in careful timing so you know it will last. But temptation will always be there-especially with someone whom your heart is so drawn to: but maintaining respect between one another is a good thing, and the mutual effort in it is very worth it. 
Good luck to you!
wow. good job.. i was planin on doing the same thing but my fiance and i already did so its too late.. keep it up. and your man is gonna be very hapy with u
I think that is the most precious thing you can do.More meaningful.Just like waiting on sex before marriage.
If that’s how you feel, do it. I didn’t save my first kiss for marriage but if you want to and you’re committed to that, just do it :]
I personally think that’s taking the whole chastity thing a little too far, but hey, whatever rocks your boat.
Just so long that this is what YOU want, and it’s not just your parents’ plan for you.
There is no biblical (I’m assuming you’re Christian?) basis for that. If you want to, go for it. But if you’re doing it because you believe that that is what Christ has commanded you to do then you should know that you are fabricating the Word of God and that is a sin. It doesn’t make much sense to me.
If you want to do that, chances are you will marry a guy from your community/church who has known you since childhood and shares your faith, because not a lot of men nowadays are ready to wait that long for a kiss, even for sex.
I know a lot of people can’t relate to something like this, but I’ll share my story with you.
When I was 13, I felt the Lord telling me to save my first kiss for my wedding day. I made a commitment to Him, but unfortunately, I didn’t keep that commitment. In fact, I didn’t save myself for marriage at all and had two children out of wedlock. I’m now happily married and absolutely love my family, but every now and then I wonder what blessings I would have received if I kept that promise. I never heard of anyone else doing anything like that…it wasn’t something my parents or my church taught, it was completely the Lord touching my heart to do that. I encourage you to stay faithful to your beliefs no matter what. I became very pessimistic about waiting and felt like there wouldn’t be any man out there willing to wait, but there is! Just keep praying for your future spouse and believing that God has something great in store for you. I really hope to impart this teachings to my daughter when she is older.
I think this is completely wonderful! Do not compromise your principals for anyone. Pray and ask God about it. One day the right man will come along. Kissing your husband and only your husband- the person you will be with forever- and love is something Beautiful! I have made the same decision!(and am still praying and waiting) Don’t listen to what anyone says about needing to kiss to tell if they are compatible. I want me and my husband to be compatible on a deeper level than just physical. Real love is much more then just physical. If God made you too for each other then you will be compatible! Waiting also makes physical things seem more special, since you waited for them! You can do it and don’t let anyone discourage you!
God Bless,and Best of luck(:
