Doubtful. People who make that level of commitment go out of their way to avoid other forms of sexual behavior.

There was a time in human history when most couples did not so much as kiss prior to their wedding day. Now, it’s so rare that it, in an of itself, reveals a level of determination, willpower, and character that should be celebrated.

Any person who would have the conviction not to kiss before their wedding day has demonstrated they possess the willpower, stamina and conviction to stick through a marriage, no matter what.

We need more people with that level of conviction.

That has never been the norm in the United States. If you look at early marriage and birth records, a remarkable number of first children were born suspiciously shortly after their parents' marriage.

Even in the 18th century, it would be extremely unusual for a couple of 28 and 30 to have completely abstained from all personal contact.

Not only do we need more people like this, we need more TEACHERS teaching our children this! God bless these two as they continue to fight the culture current for our kids!
