Can you feel the love tonight?? (Warning: Attn Whoring)

[King]

If she's the right one, it'll come naturally.  You don't to follow other's footsteps.

However, I've always found it's important to be fearless in your pursuit.  Don't be afraid to say what's on your mind.  That's how I got my "the one that got away."

I'm very happy in my current relationship, though.

My ex sternly warned me tonight that if things do work out in that direction, we'd better wait for anything until after the wedding or she will kick my derrier.

Hey, watch your language, mister.

She actually used the actual three-letter donkey, @$$, I just modified it.

and she calls herself a christian?

Jesus wept.

Especially since the woman has to be divorced if she has a kid.

Or perhaps never married.

This is the problem with this whole abstinence before marriage deal.  It's pretty obvious that BushOklahoma is having normal biological sexual urges, but at the same time is conflicted by his virginity until marriage beliefs.  Because of this, he (and other hardline Christian youth under this pressure) are forced to rush relationships to satisfy a basic human need.  Unfortunately, this will probably lead to two people who really don't love each other but rather lust for each other to enter in this long term relationship with a high risk of failure.

And that's the cold, hard truth.

Phil, I by no means am attacking BushOklahoma for being abstinent.  I am attacking abstinence for destroying the sanctity of marriage in a way that no large group of interracial homosexual activist judges ever could possibly hope to achieve.

If you choose not to have sex, that's fine.  Your personal decision is respected.  If you are indoctrinated to not have sex and to resist the urge to do so--think about that--not to choose based on your own feelings but resist your own instinct, your own conscious, then I can only feel pity.

Over time, "marriage" has lost its meaning and been transformed, mainly by Western religion, into this completely bogus concept.  Marriage is a symbol of love.  Yet, from what I have witnessed, many of us are being falsely taught that love is a symbol of marriage.  But love cannot be a symbol of marriage.  Love is real, while marriage does not exist.

When you love somebody, marriage vows should be the final piece that completes the puzzle.  By saying "you can't live together before marriage, you can't be intimate before marriage," you're making marriage the FIRST piece of the puzzle and that's wrong.  It devalues love and romance and friendship for the world's oldest bureaucratic formality.

I have a wedding in July.  We were close friends for two years, officially "dated" for 5 months, and after the honeymoon we'll return to a house we've shared 7 months.  Three years total.  I know everything about her by now.  I know she's my friend.  I know she's my lover.  I know what makes her laugh.  I know what makes her angry.  I know she likes to sleep on the left side of the bed but over the course of the night tends to roll over to the right and close to me.  I can tell by her facial expression when she's had a bad day.  And when we go out to eat, I know what she's going to order and I know she's going to offer me half of hers for half of mine at the end.  And I know I love it all that way.  Why do I mention this?  Because it's important that I know for sure. 

It's all part of a courting processing that leads up to marriage.  Sex and intimacy is part of that process.  It's not the only part and certainly not the most important part, but it still is and should be a part.

Thank you for lovingly hotlinking that image, Lunar.
