waiting for marriage...

I have a number of things that flash warning signs whenever I hear this.

1) Sex on a pedestal.
2) Inexperience.
3) Possibly very religious.
4) Marriage on a pedestal.
5) Waiting for the dream-person (ie. knight in shining armour, or ideal virginal wife)
6) Untested compatibility.
7) EARLY marriage.

Understandably some of this may not sit well with some of you, and admittedly they are assumptions. But this is what I have seen and experienced over awhile.

There is then a lot of pressure to find The One, and the confusing of sex and love as some have pointed out.

However I disagree with sex and love having to be different. For some it just isn't.

Additionally. I have also found those waiting for marriage, RUSH into marriage at a relatively very young age. I find this defeats the complete purpose and in some cases, creates a joke out of the entire union (when divorce comes along or some other trouble).

 

I suppose that for some sex and love are the same thing, but I can't comprehend that very well. I'm not saying they have to be different, I guess I just don't understand what you mean. I mean I understand that some people look at things differently, and for some people sex and love mean the same thing to them, but to eveyone else they are different. Boy, I have a feeling I'm not wording this right. Like I said there is a lot about this concept that I just don't get.
