7 questions you must ask before saying 'I do'

The man I married and I were once very in love. We were once very sexual. Hell, we were at one point even mutually financially stable.

How to successfully date while waiting for marriage to have sex

“Because of my Christianity, I’m waiting until marriage for sex. I recently got out of a 2 year relationship where he wanted more, sexually, than I was willing to give. In that relationship we had done a lot more than I thought I would before I got married, but I wanted to keep him happy and I will admit I liked it… a lot. We did stuff like oral and mutual masturbation mostly, once we tried anal but that was in the heat of the moment. Anyway… My question is, do you think that it’s possible to date successfully while waiting for marriage to have sex. I don’t think that I will doing any of what I did with my ex with anyone else. Do all guys just want sex?”
