I was listening to the radio .. I believe it was Randy Carlson's show.. anyway. The topic was purity and our children. This had me thinking about when a child, male or female.. is in the habit of Purity Protection... saving themselves...
Suppose our subject has saved himself/herself until marriage .. (or in my case, protected purity since divorce .. uh.. mostly.. back on track now) anyway the issue of purity... it has been saved and a value has been put on it.
The wedding night ... time to consummate the marriage... How? I don't mean semantics, I'm talking about grappling with the idea that you are sharing something you've placed such a high value on.. I mean, I suppose it would be fine because this is a person you've okayed with God.. or have prayed about. It just seems to me that if a person has never had sexual relations (not so in my case) but... that Flip of the switch would be hard for me ... I honestly think it would cause me anxiety.
Without getting too personal, did you save yourself for marriage??? Was it hard to flip that switch? Or divorced people... how did you do it? Does it come natural?
I do not even want to physically touch or kiss or anything because I know it leads to sexual relations and I am not sure I'll be able to flip that switch if/when the time comes.
Sigh.
