hm, well i just have a huge problem with seeing sex as a bad thing. i've never really had a problem with it until recently, which kind of makes me wonder if it's one of those things that gets drummed into you since you were eight that all boys want sex from twelve and up, that eventually you start believing it to be true, and then it starts to affect your head, it actually changes the way you think.

but maybe i'm a late bloomer...

maybe i actually did have a schizoid personality (one of the indicators being a lack of sexual desire) and i'm growing out of it.

well before marrige worng blah blah blah blah blah and all of that jazz.

but i mean what if say theres this guy and he slept around a fair bit n stuf and then got married then having sex is nothing special im sure hed wish he didnt share himself with so many other women .

i agree with adam but i dont think it is the upmost important thing in life . because i mean its not the be all and end all because if it was like that then the marrige would revolve around sex ... then if the wife didnt want it i mean the husband might think its his right to have sex with her or something like that n stuff.


i donno just me maybe in a couple years time ill have a different perspective on things

sex is as much a part of marriage as worship is a part of christianity.

Sex to Marriage is like Worship to Christianity because if there's no heart in what you're doing, it won't really mean anything.

If you put your heart (and not your lust) into it, then you'd prefer to wait...

well damn, ain't i a silly then? i always thought it might've been about building a personal relationship with jesus or something...

the core of marriage to me is building a deep personal relationship with your wife, but sex is important. you don't hear of many christians who don't worship, or married couples that don't have sex, and if you do then then they've prbably got problems in the relationship. that goes for christianity too, if you're not worshipping then there's probably a hole in your relationship with god.

it's about intimacy, respect and love. it's an important part of the relationship.

sex is an important part of the relationship, but to add to this discussion i feel that raising children should also be important, and it seems that this is often neglected nowadays until many years after marriage.

Sometimes, the thought of begining a family should be left for a while, whether it be months or years. Just to let yourself settle down with your partner a see whether you're really up to the job. Kidies are a lifetime thing, and you've got to be careful when it comes to your desision on whether you're mature or close enough to your partner to bear them.

Plus kids are brats... and their noses run Razz

I reckon it's essential to get financial before you think of kids.

Looking at the majority of Ipswich, I'm in the minority.

Heh, but jess, in my opinion marriage should be a lifetime commitment.

also, it depends what you'd call 'financially secure'. i could probably ride the job i'm in now for a year or two into marriage, especially with another hatchery opening shortly that'll be looking for experienced workers, but that's not the path i want to go down...

personally i've always wanted kids... just someone i can love without having anything expected of either me or them. if money looks like it'll be an issue despite this i'll just put it off.

Love>Money.

It may be a lifetime commitment to you, but many people just think to it as the "next step" Like going from holding hands to kissing. Some people just don't take it seriously anymore.

Money is underrated.

You may argue that money doesn't buy happiness, but without money there's depression - so you tell me how much it's worth.

some of the most genuine, beautiful smiles i've ever seen belong to the kids in the world vision ads, even pre-sponsorship. money buys happiness alright, just maybe not mine.

Some of the most genuine smiles I've seen are from those who are actually happy or atleast content with their current state of affairs in their life.

Money buys hapiness when that's all you desire in life. The money in world vision Aids is also a piece of love, kindness and friendship from the doners, which is why the little kiddies don't look so glum anymore. While if you want to be loved, and instead just make yourself rich in hopes that material possesions somehow replace that desire, you're basicly screwed.

personally i thought she nailed it. i was talking about poor people being incredibly happy apart from money, she was talking about poor people being incredibly happy largely because of what the money represents.

i've an interesting notion, maybe certain folk around here could get off their high-horse and actually try and make a meaningful contribution instead of bringing people down.

from what i understand chris, alot of why you lost your respect or whatever for me is because i made a number of posts from an ignorant, smug religious pedestal. i felt you were a valuable friend, and ever since i made those posts you've given me absolutely nothing.

shake it off, and get on with your life.

You're assuming an awful lot. Let's look at the word.

ASSUME

When you assume, you make an ASS out of U and ME

Get a clue first?

Come on y'all, let's not fight now. We all need to kiss and make up... and make sure someone's video-ing the kiss, I may want it for later Wink .

Anyway, Sex... I think it would be a healthy part of a relationship, but I also think that people are jumping into it too early. I know a few people that have dated for three weeks, just enough time to get to know each other, then BAM, straight in the sack. I think the rule: "No sex before Marriage", is taking it a bit far, but I'd say something more like "No sex until the two people involved are ready for it, not meaning three friggin' weeks". I dunno, it's a wierd subject with me.

you still haven't told me what this opinion is, chris.

i've asked you on several occasions what your problem is with me, but you've only given me hints, and the hints could point at a number of things.

i don't like being hated, or disliked, or whatever bullshit euphemism for the same old feeling you wanna come up with. i only want to be loved.

And maybe if you talked about it you could sort something out. Saying "I have a difference of opinion stfu bish" Doesn't make things any easier. It's a forum, if you think you're right then argue!
