I mean, I can't imagine how difficult/overwhelming it must be for some people to go from NOTHING to KISSING and SEX within 24 hours. That's a serious learning curve there. And how is that an ideal set up for a healthy marriage?

I dunno if you've ever had the opportunity to meet someone who was an evangelical who got married after "saving themselves", but for most, SEX = the holy grail. It's pretty much all they can think about. So they rush their relationships and engagements because ZOMGWTFSEXXXXX. Not realizing that after your 2.5 seconds of bliss with Suzie, you still have to be married to her forever.

Random virginity sidenote: is it really "saving yourself" if you meet, get engaged, and get married within a 6 month timeframe? And you're 18/19 years old. And many times have never actually dated anyone other than your fiance before getting engaged.

/hippie Christian rant.

I 1000% agree with this. Seriously. Took the words right out of my mouth.
