5 Reasons To Button Up Till Marriage by Nobody: 8:33pm On May 19, 2017
Here are 5 practical reasons to keep buttoned up and hold off having sex until marriage .


Reasons that might not seem super important NOW but will be HUGE down the road.



1. You will save yourself a lot of regretful moments.




If you talk to anyone who had a variety of sexual encounters before they got married, inevitably you’ll find they have at least one – but probably many – they wish they could take back.


Having sex is so personal and permanent. It can never be undone, so it shouldn’t be something you regret.




2. It will make the relationship simpler and easier to evaluate



It’s much harder to recognize a broken relationship when you are having sex with someone. Want to know if the relationship you have is actually worth having or continuing? Try not having sex and see if you still want to be around the person.





I’m convinced that “hot sex” before marriage is a main contributor to broken marriages. Why? Because those marriages most likely would have never happened if the sex wasn’t keeping them together in the first place.




3. It’s difficult going ‘a la carte’ when you are used to a buffet.



Let’s be honest: if you are used to having sex with whomever and have “sampled all the varieties” then monogamous sex with one partner may be a hard pill to swallow.
It doesn’t matter if the food quality is way better at the a la carte restaurant.



Buffet people are buffet people because they convince themselves that variety is always best, even if the food quality is crap.



I know this may sound counter-intuitive in a day and age where consumption rules, but if your only frame of reference for sex is with your spouse (sex that’s special and intimate), then it’s going to be pretty great and you are not going to be worrying about what else you may be missing out on.




4. Sexual history is not something JUST you have to contend with.



When you bring a sexual history into your marriage, you are affecting both people. You have to deal with your flames of old, and so does your spouse.



A relationship that is threatened by comparisons is one that lacks security, and security is super important in the bedroom.




5. Sex Affects Your Brain




One of the most interesting aspects of the brain (to me) is how its rewards system works. Simply put, the brain is designed to seek out and recreate those experiences that make it feel good.





While our brain’s rewards system can serve to our own destruction (like in the case of addiction) it can also serve to our betterment.






Yes, the Biblical reasons are important.
Yes, not having sex before marriage because “God said so” is important.



But, realize that God didn’t tell us these things because he wants to rob us of pleasure. He doesn’t want to withhold the best. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.



God’s design for sex is meant to give us the best.
His ways are not just spiritual. Sometimes they are also tremendously practical and always beneficial.




And sometimes those ways may not seem important in the HERE and NOW but they will make perfect sense down the road.

Before my fiancé became my wife,the instruction was clear,no belle,no marriage. Shikena.
Doctors will test you and tell you u are ok and some of these tested people won't still get pregnant.
Or how do we explain the people with borehole under them?

Thumbz up ! However, it's sex that seals off the assurance that the one u dating is the "It" imo. Maybe it shouldn't come first if you can resist the urge.

what was your jamb score? Did you pass? All these nuisance underage teenager too think they have an idea when it comes to relationship talks. It is not neccessary you comment and if you must do,do that with your brain intact.
I wasn't comparing tv with female,I was citing and example.next time when you want to quote someone,make sure you have a clear understanding of the subject matter,what you are quoting and how well to respond.
Imagine you are even still a young lad who doesn't know or have the full context of what a relationship is. I won't entertain your quote any longer so keep whatever you want to say to yourself

On the bolded, it is obvious you were not properly trained. I won't insult your parent but don't make the mistake a second time,you will get what you are trying to bargain for I promise you

So annoying when you see kids commenting on a post they don't understand.
worst of it all they keep arguing with their nonsense points of view.
Nice one on that kid.

How do you think two people can verify their sexual compatibility before marriage given these points you have raised?






The primary problem with this notion of sexual chemistry is that it focuses sex on pleasure and performance.




Contrary to what Hollywood may suggest, great sex (which is a good, God-honoring thing) isn't the pinnacle of humanity's existence.



Sex was created for man, but man was not created for sex.



God gave sex as a gift to be exclusively enjoyed by a husband and wife as a means of loving, caring, serving, honoring, and enjoying each other in marriage.



So sexual compatibility between a married couple comes neither from ecstasy (how good the sex is) nor frequency (how often you have it) but mainly from intimacy, which occurs as love, trust, security, and respect deepen through the longevity of a monogamous, self-giving, covenant relationship.



Lifelong commitment is something our culture struggles to understand and uphold.



If “soulmates” should be tried out sexually, then what was intended for marriage gets ripped from its original context and instead becomes a litmus test for vague, fleeting feelings of compatibility and connection.



But this selfish objectification, which involves viewing another as a tool made to meet our sexual standards, has never been God's design for finding a spouse.




In the first marriage account, God declared it's “not good for man to be alone” (Gen. 2:18 ).





So he gave Adam a wife. He didn't give him his own reality show where he could meet Erin, Erica, Emma, and Eliza in order to discover which one would be sexually compatible.





He gave Adam one woman, with whom he'd never had sex, and called him to love her for the rest of his life. Why did God do this? Because, in his perfect wisdom, he didn't design the purpose of marriage to be about great sex with the perfect person but about a lifetime of serving and staying with the inevitably imperfect person you've vowed to love.





I've learned that true sexual compatibility, if we must call it that, happens when two people commit themselves first to God, and then to each other. This covenant commitment affords an opportunity for a husband and wife to unconditionally serve and love the way Jesus loves his bride, the church (Eph. 5:22-33 ).



Marriage is a journey in which two incompatible, selfish sinners learn to become one. There will thus be multiple things—including sex—that both parties will have to figure out together along the way.
