Its not too big a price to pay. After all, the rest of your lives is before you.

I know women could do this. But some men are just too impatient.

Two of my friends got married as virgins. One's husband let her be for about a week, while the other's husband went to get lube that same night.
At the end of the day, different strokes for different folks.

Yvete: Just curious to know if anyone has done this?

The idea is, just as you offer your first fruit of labor to God, likewise it is encouraged, not mandatory to offer your wedding night as a first fruit of marriage. Basically, a newly wedded couple should abstain from intimacy on their wedding night and instead spend the night singing praises, and giving thanks in prayer. grin grin

My pastors wife encouraged this "oath" or "offering" at pre-marital class. Although, some guys were straight up honest, " NO!". They weren't smiling. smiley I think its a good way to start off married life (to pray against mis-fortunes, to pray for unborn children, ...etc). "Bring the best of the first fruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God" (Ex. 23:19). Has anyone ever pledged to do this?

it's a good idea. My fiance mentioned this to me but he didn't put it in this light. Now that i have a better understanding of what it means, l'll encourage him. Am certain the reward for this will be greater than the fleeting pleasure of a night.

Sex at first night is part and parcel of marriage. It's called cosummation of marriage. Christian should be weary of all these man-made doctrine as if they are God's command. This is what Jesus fought all His life.

yellowpawpaw: Bullshit!pple should stop misinterpretin d bible.I wonder if d apostles were to be alive today,dey will be constantly askin what dey did wrong by writin those wonderful scrolls.d bible said abstinence,I did that and one hediot is tellin me to continue as 1st fruit sacrifice! nigerians and adding so much drama into d word of God!as I do after my weddin is not her biz! Period!(Sorry,I forgot she is a woman of God,maybe d Holy spirit told her)
Everday of ur life is for God,no special day!
u dey mind them?
u might not be intimate for a month for all i care! It aint a rule!
my frnd, jes do wot u read in the word and forget these people. They are begining to irk me with all thier 'new ways' of 'bilivin' things shld look like.
The bible has been interpreted with so many personal ideas that it became apparent that people now worship their pastors instead of reading the word! It seems they biliv the interpretation of the pastor more than wot the bible says. The statement, 'our pastor says/bilivs that' is no more new! By now, i am sure that majority of pastor chris of christ embassy will be masturbatin since their pastor says it aint a sin!

Can u beat that?

Christians of today dnt even bother to read the bible! I mean, what for? They already av their share of 'messages' from their favourite men of God playing in their rooms, cars and phones!

Aint that enough? Fuckin indolency!

many commenting hso far have to understand that different strokes for different folks,its a matter of what you believe,what you want and what you are expecting.I think its a way of dedicating ones marriage to God.So if shes menstruating on that night you will do the deed too?.Like i said its a matter of understanding btw the two parties,if theres agreement then but if not its not compulsory but its good,i love it sha.

Thank God I don't believe in first fruit anyway. From the time I was very young when I went to an Anglican church I used to hear about tithes and offerings and sometimes thanksgiving offering. I jst started hearing of this first fruit in my late teens from some pentecostal churches. When was it invented? By who? I don't take any church that asks for first fruit serious. In fact I cannot pay my tithe into such a church. All these talk abt first fruit is making me believe that modern day christianity is just and avenue to defraud me of my earnings. If u don't like it go and hug a tree, my first salary goes to my PARENTS who trained me for so many years without expecting anything in return. Mind you, they are not poor. Not one sweet talking pastor. And I support this with the bible passage that says "Honor your parents so your days may be long." After collecting first fruit from the whole congregation it will not be hard for a pastor to afford a private jet. I once went to one church where the pastor told a story of how someone gave some amount of money to the him and was blessed. In short he is encouraging others to do likewise.(I'm not saying giving a gift to a pastor or to anyone in fact is bad.). That is the last time I took that pastor serious.

I think d only reasonabl reason not to consumate that night is tiredness. What first fruit is like abstainin till marriage. and what will be d sense in giving such first fruit after many disobedience havin premarital sex. The consumation of a marriage to me is gud praise. and nothing stops you from singin and prayin before going into it. Mayb u shud remain virgins as first fruit.Lol.
Bible does allow abstainance of couple during fastin but am sure we dont fast on weddn days. I do not see this as a first fruit at all.
Well, if u are led n ur spouse agrees u might go on waiting. As the bible says. The JUST shall leave by FAITH

I think this idea is delusional and some religious peeps are taking this thing too far. on what ground do you classify the wedding night as a fruit of the marriage? what would the child then be? Seeds??

very soon, your pastor would tell you not to go to work on first day you are suppose to resume work but spend it at home singing praises to God.

BTW, a marriage process is not complete without being consummated. so wonder how you would achieve this first night wonder.

Christians who are supposed to endeavour to live like Jesus Christ are daily being led astray towards the practices of the Pharisees who abandoned the laws of the God of Israel and made their own laws of men for their fellow Jews to follow.

And it is simply for the purpose of doing what MOST religious leaders have done since the beginning of time:
- Make new laws that are increasingly difficult to respect so that when you transgress such laws (which they will label sin) you fell guilty & become obliged to turn to the religious leaders to INTERCEED for you with your own God.
This ensures the religious leaders continue in busines. Because business is what it is. Christ sure knew how to expose the charlattans then for what they were, daily criticising them until they planned to kill him.

Go through your Bible yourself and find out if what is being proposed here accords with what Christ and his apostles said and practised.
Happy Sunday.

What would couples doing during courtship I guess one out of many wld be praying abt the first fruit thing so there wld be no essence!!! Though I actualy like d fact dat u added not mandatory to ur thread!!! I'd rather prefer to do what a xtain friend of mine informed me abt that before a couple plans to hv s*x wt eachother since its d first time they are seeing eachother's nudi-ty they shld both go on their kneels in nak*dness, hold hands, & pray to God and ask whatever they want from God.I tell u dat my friend is still enjoying his marriage with lovely kids. a suggestion anyway
