Today, I’m answering Linda’s question which refers to my decision to stay a virgin until I’m married. I made a boo-boo when I said I don’t know any blog friends who are choosing (or have chosen) to live this way, because I do! I’m not sure why I said that, but it was a flub. 😉
As always, leave me questions in the comments!

What a great question and I really love your answer. It's rare these days to find someone who has made the decision you have but I really respect you for having made it.

I love this vlog 🙂 1- you're awesome! 2- I'm also waiting to have sex until i'm married! I think it's a beautiful though, and i know it will be worth the wait 🙂 <3
Linda
Thank you for answering my question! Also lovely answers. I think it's totally impressive, your approach to love. I have 100 percent faith your man will find you. I can't wait for that to happen and hopefully read about it.

You're cute. I hate vlogging because I think I'm weird. You're not weird at all. In a good way.
My best friend waited until marriage. They didn't live together, even though they purchased a condo. She lived there & he lived with friends until the wedding happened. They kissed & held hands before they got married, but that was all. It's not how I've chosen to live my life, but I certainly respected her decision & can respect yours, too, as long as neither of you are judging *me*! (I move in with the boyfriend tomorrow…) In fact, her bachelorette party was a lot of fun because all of her married friends & I got to give her fun tips on sex & kissing & all kinds of things. And she was SO EXCITED, which made all of us excited for her.
I know someone will come along who's right for you. Can't wait to see what life has in store for you. <3

When I was younger, I truly believed I was going to save myself for marriage, particularly because that was something that was sort of drilled into my head thanks to growing up in catholic school!! In the end, I decided it wasn't the path I was going to choose, but I totally respect people that do this. I don't regret that I didn't wait, but I do think sharing that with your future husband is a pretty amazing thing!
Have a great weekend!

great vlog! 🙂 i think i take the same stance of not judging someone else's lifestyle choices as long as they don't judge mine. what works for some does not work for others.

I'm Waiting!! This is something I feel is important to God so its important to me as well. 😉
You're not alone.

I waited 'til I was married (uh, before I got divorced) and it was a good decision for me. I think sex is super personal, as are the decisions surrounding it…you should do what works for you! Great vlog. I love hearing bloggers!

I think it's awesome that a) you do the vlogs! and b) that you made a decision that is right for you and stand by it. I also like that you're very tolerant with people who live their lives differently. I think that's what is all about… everybody gets to choose how they want to live their lives! 🙂

No sound here at work (not that this is work appropriate anyways) but just wanted to weigh in. I waited. So did my husband. While it was difficult while we dated, I don't regret my decision in the least. In fact, it's one of my greatest accomplishments! 🙂
We didn't wait because of any fear that we wouldn't work out or any personal goal or anything… we waited because we believe that God made sex as a gift for married couples.
As a result of this decision, your wedding night will be more special than anything you can ever imagine.

Both my husband and I were virgins when we got married. It wasn't necessarily for religious reasons; it was just something we decided on our own before meeting, and then it was a decision we kept when we started dating. We actually lived together for a year before we got married (and slept in the same bed).

I waited! And it was the greatest decision EVER. Awkward newlywed sex is the best. 😛 Hold out, girl. It will be so worth it.

Good for you! I only know one person that waited, my mother in-law. Sometimes the "right decision isn't the most popular." I loved your comment about not judging others, because you don't want them to judge you. If only more people had that mindset. Stay strong.
