This guy's so shy he's never kissed a girl

Exactly. You might wait 2years or whatever then get married to a girl who is into chains and whips and all kinds of freaky stuff! Good luck if your into that kinda thing but you might also run a mile. You can never judge them. Some sweet and innocent looking freaky girls out there. I have some of there videos if you want proof. :p:

Of the few religo's that I know who held off having sex until they got married, most ended up getting married after a few months of their first date. I guess they didnt want to break their rules so had to move things along a bit quicker. The whole lot of it is over-rated if you ask me.

Hmm... I think discussing the matter before hand could solve this chains and whips problem quite simply.

There's no reason we need to be shackled by the strictures of the employee-employer relationship. Unless you're into that sort of thing. In which case, I got some shackles in the back. I'm just kidding. But seriously, I've got 'em.
:p:
 
I don't think I've underestimated the importance.. its just not the main factor in determining if a relationship will work or not.
Well, I'd disagree there. If you're not sexually compatible (and don't think for a millisecond such a thing is impossible) the rest of your relationship will be affected also.

How would you know it's not the main factor unless you have been in a sexual relationship? I'm not suggesting it is the main factor (it is certainly one of them for most people), but many couples break up over this. Not so many marriages, because these days we generally know our partner's tastes and drive by that point, but you won't have that information. You haven't had sex, so you don't realise just how incompatible a couple can be. As Julia says, this will effect your entire relationship.

Similar to Julia I'm going to respectfully disagree here Jono, but I would also like to enquire as to what you define as the main factors in determining if the relationship will succeed or not.

We know one of them is that you share the same religious beliefs and I agree that this is an important factor in determining if your relationship will succeed.

You may be surprised however that womens brains work quite differently to men's and those factors that you deem important may or may not be part of their decision making process.

Cheers

Sir O

By now your PM inbox must be full of requests.

One would not want to be stuck with a girl from the OWK.

I totally agree with Jono, sex is NOT the main factor in determining if a relationship will work or not, and those who think that if you're not sexually compatible, then the rest of your relationship will be affected, that is not true. I think you know that is not true.
I have a 24 y.o. daughter who has never had a boyfriend, and was brought up in a strict christian household. She will wait for Mr right to come along, so please don't criticise her because she has been instilled with the same values as her parents, and we will be celebrating 25 years of marriage next month.
 
I'm not sure what exactly defines a strict christian household but it comes across to me as a somewhat narrow perspective.

Hello Windy, where does your 24 year old daughter plan to meet Mr Right?
Is she allowed to socialise with blokes?

I don't think anyone has suggested that it is the main factor, but one of the main factors in most relationships. It may not be important to you, but it is to most, particularly with the current day emphasis on finding a highly compatible partner, rather than "working it out".
 
Maybe Windy's daughter and Jono should go on a date? Could be a match made in heaven :)
Now there's a thought. How about also "Bushman's Marriage Brokers": only 20% of the combined assets of the two parties as payment for arranging a successful union. Plus, of course, a small trail commission for as long as the marriage lasts.:)

Plus 5% of the assets of the parents of the two parties as part of the successful union fee. That should make for a more reliable revenue base.

As for trailing fees, 2% of assets per annum for the life of the marriage plus 1% of assets per annum for every child.

Once we have enough customers, gear it to the hilt and float the business.:):)

Windy...I don't know you or your family situation...but if I just read the above slab of text on a piece of paper...I would think that the adults in the 24 y.o's life have decided her life for her and curved it to their taste. I'm sure all parents wish to raise their children with certain standards and morals...but it seems you've gone on the extreme and kept your daughter under house arrest.

Mr Right? I don't believe in soul mates in respect of love at first sight etc. You work hard at a relationship...sure there is natural attraction and common ground...but you don't click like a lightswitch and never disagree or question.

Congratulations on the 25 years of marriage...that is quite an achievement and you should be happy...but just to let you know just because you've had a successful marriage statistics in today's society would say otherwise for the general populous...no matter what the upbringing.

I'll second that..... 7th Day Adventists are great as long as they don't knock on my door....
 
I have no truck with any religions, but just to be fair, Seventh Day Adventists don't go knocking on anyone's doors. They leave that to the Jehovah's Witness and the Mormons.
