Top Ten Reasons To Get Married: Sex

Here goes, the number 4 reason to get married:

No.4 - Marriage means more sex

Married men have more sex than single men do. It's a fact -- supported by study after study. A study done by the Kinsey Institute, for example, suggests that 23% of non-married men periodically go a year without sex, while only 1% of married men experience 12-month dry spells. Similarly, while 19% of single guys have sex two to three times a week, 36% of married men have sex that often. So, while single guys are out at the clubs, spending their paychecks just to get a girl's attention, married men are home having sex with their wives.

I can guarantee you that Mandi and I will have more sex once we're married. Last time I checked, even one time was more than no times. Mandi and I firmly believe that sex is a covenant meant only to be shared between a husband and wife. That's not to say that the last two years haven't been incredibly tough, but somehow we managed to keep our hands off of each other :) That's all going to change once we're married (fingers crossed) and I can tell you that both Mandi and I are looking forward to it. We're confident that are faithfulness to remain pure will be blessed by God thousand-fold on our marriage bed. Shoot, I'd even take a hundred-fold :)

Me and my husband became Christians half way through our relationship and made the pact to stop having sex before marriage. It was really really hard, but SO worth it!! =) There are truly reasons why sex before marriage can ruin your life and relationship regardless if you are a Christian or not. I think it forced us to grow more intimate through conversation and really stop and get to know each other on a much deeper level. It was by far one of the best decisions we have made as a couple.

Pretty sure if we ever would have started it wouldn't have stopped. Very impressed Summer!!
Congrats to you guys for making that commitment and keeping that commitment! God will bless you for it!
Congrats to you both for sticking to that! It's going to be so worth the wait! So glad to know that there are people still remaining pure til marriage and they're not afraid to share it. SO excited for you guys!!
I must admit I was surprised!. . . but impressed. My husband and I were both virgins when we got married. I KNOW how hard it is and how much discipline and sacrifice it can take. The blessings are 100 fold I assure you. I wore my white dress with pride because I knew I earned it :) Congrats you two and Now I really get the whole counting down. . .much to anticipate!! <3
what a special gift to be able to give each other. God will definitely bless you both for that!!
Congrats on your commitment, and for being willing to share your beliefs. I know you will be blessed for waiting. Good for you guys!!

You and Mandi should buy the following book and read it during the first few months of your marriage:
http://www.amazon.com/What-God-Says-About-Sex/dp/...

I would have recommended it for reading before marriage, but at the start of a marriage works too..

That's been recommended to us before! We'll have to check it out :)
Sheet Music by Kevin Lehman is supposed to be fabulous as well.
Now we know the real reason you went in for IVs, right? Can't say I didn't do the same thing, bro. It's way beyond well worth the wait.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your commitment. My husband and I waited and it is well worth the wait.
Hooray for married sex! Haha!!
What a great role-model you guys are...in every area! And you're right, you will be blessed!
Your commitment to abstinence is awesome -- you will not regret it! And I LOVE how open you are about this very important decision. You guys are an incredible couple!
okay so, if you start to count sex as part of you exercise work out i DON"T want the details hahahah. ON that note what have you been doing for you exercising? Just calling on it.
I dug out the garden on the weekend and was down for 2 days, body not happy, but not sick either! Stressd out..............breath.

Take care,

It will FOR SURE be worked into the routine. Running and gym should be better, but I've been keeping active with quick paced and slow paced walks :) Thanks for calling me out!!!
That is great! It is so encouraging to see other young people holding off until marriage. It will pay off!
Blessings to you both. Marriage is a blessing. My husband and I waited until we were married as well, (granted he was in China for half of our courtship, God knew we needed the spacial distance I guess). It has been an amazing to know that we waited for God's best! Praying for you guys and the awesome and incredible adjustment to marriage.
