Why do some people think its good to wait until marriage?

Question

I am not a player or anything, in fact I haven't had s*x with my girlfriend of 6 months yet, but why do some people want to wait until marriage to have s*x? I mean you have no idea what you are getting yourself into if you find out on your wedding night that your not compatible or maybe not even attracted to each other!

Enough marriages fail nowadays as it is, why risk it? You may say oh it doesnt matter, but s*x does matter and its the #1 reason for divorce. Religion? Oh please, I used to be a catholic and its such b.s , if you are waiting because of religion, well you are just delusional because there is no evidence in the bible or anywhere that you have to wait, that is purely the doing of the church!

And also, if you do decide to wait anyways, dont make people that dont seem like they are less then or do not have good morals, they are free people and can do as they please.

Answer 1

No, the # 1 reason for divorce is financial. The reason people want to wait until they are married (mostly women) is there is one thing they can give to a man once; thier virginity. If a relationship is predicated on s*x then it's not going to to last anyway. You get married because you love that person and want to be with that person and that person only for the rest of your life. It doesn't always end that way but is how a marriage is approched not because the s*x will be great. Plenty of couples don't have great s*x lives but they have great relationships due to the fact that they are compatible, best friends, and confidants to each other. I'm not judging people because I am one of the biggest whores on the planet but that is the concept of saving yourself for that special someone, you want it to be special.  

Answer 2

i thought i would ALWAYS be a virgin on my wedding night. however i feel in love with my now husband and give it up before.

I think i wanted to wait so i didn't have alot of partners and it was special. Luckily, i got my furture husband my 1st time :)

Answer 3

i want to wait until marriage because why risk getting yourself pregnant with someones child that you dont want to have and then have him run off and leave u...or to avoid STDs which honestly doesnt even matter now because even if i wait, it in no way means he has, so havin s*x with him could be just like having s*x with everyone else...anyway. still, its also special. its not something to just throw away on some random person. when you wait, you've kept it for the one person who you want to have it. its a sign of respect for the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.  

Answer 4

Couples who engage in s*x before marriage are far more likely to divorce. According to a study by the National Survey of Family Growth, women who have premarital s*x increase their odds of divorce by about 60 percent. In a study on premarital s*x and the risk of divorce, the Journal of Marriage and the Family reported that those women who had been sexually active prior to marriage faced "a considerably higher risk of marital disruption than women who were virgin brides." (Joan R. Kahn and Kathryn A. London, "Premarital s*x and the Risk of Divorce," Journal of Marriage and the Family, 53 (1991)
