Chastity before you get married is understandable. Making a commitment when you’re 20 years old to live a life of chastity and never get married is something I can’t understand. Not only are you saying that you don’t want to get married currently, but that you never, ever will want to. That’s not something that anyone can be sure of at a young age if you ask me.

I think I understand what you mean but chosing a life of chastity isn't the same thing as saying you never want to get married. Everybody wants to spend their life with somebody at somepoint. (Even gay couples as we are rapidly learning.) It means that there is something in your life that you want MORE than marriage and you are choosing to chase that instead.
