It occurred to me while reading another thread that a lot of young people may live in states where blood tests are not required in order to obtain a marriage license as they once were nearly everywhere. Protecting your health is yet another reason this is an important issue to discuss with a prospective spouse.
If you have a relationship with God, allow Him to lead you.
I can tell you for me, after I was saved in 2007 I have not so much as held hands with anyone and I do not intend to give any of myself, even a kiss, to anyone who is not my husband.
The discussion however, well that can be anytime for me. i don't have an issue talking about it, but I use discernment in who I will talk about it with.

I prefer a no-nonsense approach on this subject. I'm not afraid to bring it up-and just let them know where I stand and what my boundaries are. If they're cool with it, then great. If not, then it's time to let go (in my opinion), because it is not a compromisable area for me. Either you follow what God says in His word, or you don't. If you do-we have a chance. If not, then do some maturing in your faith and you know who I am if you have a change of heart/mind. No use wasting time on someone not worth investing in!

made me smile when I read the title S-E-X.
I can remember as a young teen being prayed over, and my parents friends prayed that Id be protected from S-E-X, I thought uh-oh, I know what sex is, but whats this S-E-X, have I done it yet!?!??! And ended up feeling more guilty :S
So for starters call it sex, that's if your talking to kids (of a certain age) of course

I guess I should have been clearer for you, Mega. Lol I'll keep that in mind. I agree 100% with you. But it's not just about the sex, right? I mean, there are more boundaries to discuss than that. It's cool when someone is on the same page as me, but there are a lot of guys who definitely aren't and can't understand the waiting until marriage viewpoint, and they are believers. So. Anyway. Hope that made sense.

"Just about sex"-Hmm. I guess I hear what you're saying. However, in my opinion, the actual "deed" isn't the only boundary we need not to cross, because of respecting the other, honoring their purity, etc...That's what I was getting at. I mean, God calls for us to resist lustful desires for anyone other than our husband or wife, so in a dating relationship, the further the couple goes, the less we are following what God desires for us. That's my take, anyway.
