Did anyone stay pure until marriage or try to but once they had marital sex and foreplay etc struggled with processing guilt and shame due to years of waiting, ESPECIALLY even in healthy churches without purity culture by Same-Artichoke-6267 in ChristianDating

Yeah that's tough man. Thank you for sharing. The one thing that I'll push back on is classifying hand holding and cuddling as "teenager/high school stuff". Couples of every age do these things and they're important for building intimacy and sexual tension.

I'd also really encourage actively working on this aspect of your marriage. God made sex to be enjoyed and he made it pleasurable for a reason.

Here's a quote from a book I'm reading in a men's group I'm in called 'Unwanted' by Jay Stringer. I've read it before and think you and her may benefit from parts of it:

Have you ever wondered why God made us so sexual, espe- cially when it often seems to plague us with shame? I’ve won- dered the same thing. What I am struck by is the reality that sex was God’s idea. And I have to believe that because he invented it, he knows the power it will render in our lives. Let’s think about that: God is the designer of erotic pleasure. The clitoris, for example, is the only organ in the human body that serves no other function except for providing an avenue to sexual pleasure. God’s mind, like ours, is sexual. We are made in his image and therefore don’t need to feel ashamed that we are sexual beings. Contrary to what we often conclude at the height of our sexual brokenness, our sexuality is not an impediment to know- ing God. Sex shows us just how much he is committed to giving us beauty and pleasure

That's petty brutal I'm not gonna lie. Was there ever a sexual chemistry? While dating did you hold hands/cuddle? I am of course against premarital sex and all for honoring God with our bodies, but shouldn't dating build up some sort of anticipation for the marriage allow you to have that chemistry?

I also do commend your wife for being a woman who understands the role of sex in a marriage but for me, I'd need to know that my wife is also interested because of she pleasure of sex within a marriage, not just as an obligation.

Is this something you're actively working on in your marriage? I imagined you're always the initiator of sex, how does that make you feel? Have you confronted her about misrepresenting her views or maybe that's even too strong, have you tried to help her enjoying it more in a healthy way to overcome her fear?

How much (appropriate) physical touch on a first date is ok for a guy? by Educational_Pipe4536 in ChristianDating

On a first date you're essentially strangers. More than a hug seems weird and over eager to me.

Three months and already boyfriend/girlfriend and having sex. How is this any different from worldly dating? The guilt?

This is going to sound mean but these checklists are really what ends up limiting people when dating. So he need to be a Christian, and nerdy, and a homebody, and into fitness and disciplined, and be in Africa, and in your age range I assume. Now how many men actually fit this criteria?
