ok. when you do, remember not to kiss them at all. Not even a peck on the cheek! YOu might be ok with blowing them a kiss.
What about eskimo kisses? I wonder if that’s ok.....
I would never do this. First of all, if a person can’t kiss they suck in bed and there will be zero chemistry. Bad kissers wind up being the WRONG people for you at the end of the day. There never is that true connection that comes with the ideal perfect kiss.
I knew my wife was immediately in the running for the V.P. job of the house after our first kiss. Plus, bad kissers are usually shady people...not quite comfortable with themselves...and growing up I refused to take the time to train someone how to kiss properly.
I appreciate the merits of the story but get real.
Not all aberrations are detrimental.
But yes, it would take a strong commitment to purity to pull that off. They struggled with the same temptations and desires as do other couples, but they chose to honor their commitment above their desires.
It may not be what you would do, but it was their choice, their commitment, and they kept it.
When?
You mean if...
Thanks for the reminder, I shouldn’t forget.
Given that neither party has kisssed prior to their wedding day, I’m sure they’ll manage to figure out what eachother likes and doesn’t like in and outside of the bedroom.
Maybe you wouldn’t do this, but they did, in a society where casual hookups are seen as no big deal. That’s an amazing achievement.
why is kissing impure? These people are teaching abstinence...they are trying to teach by example..it’s a stupid example.
As I said..I appreciate the merits of the story but let’s be sensible here. We aren’t talking about them having casual sex. We are talking about the fact that they never shared a sign of affection that is the most commonly given one between 2 people when dating. I mean not even in the house alone together?
How does one even get to know a person for who they are, their traits, their habits...etc...there was a way to do this without sex being involved at all.
But at the end of the day it is their life so oh well..good luck with all that.
LMFAO
You’ve already judged their decision. I believe your words to describe it were: “an attention-grabbing, showboating thing”.
You don’t find keeping a difficult, counter-cultural, decidedly politically-incorrect decision laudible?
Classy. Very classy. </s>
Back to the article - it's unusual but not creepy. A kiss is traditionally meant to seal a covenant. Until the last century or so - when cars made it possible to get far away from parental gazes very quickly - purity was a valued thing.
I know another couple who shared their first kiss at the altar and they are far from creepy - just happy with three children and 15 years of marriage behind them.
No, I asked the guy who’s roommate and his g/f hadn’t kissed did that.
Though I suppose we could say that the fact that these two thought enough of their “purity” to alert the media to it amounts to a bit of showboating.
Noone is denying that their commitment is unusual in this day and age.
How do you know one’s traits, their habits, etc. simply because you’ve kissed them (or had intercourse with them?). Are you seriously suggesting that you cannot know a person’s values, morals, etc. due to the fact that you HAVE kissed him or her?
I’m sure they managed to communicate and learn about eachother prior to marriage, and that they will continue to do so now that they are married, and the same drive that led them to make and keep that commitment will compel them to work throughout all of marriage’s joys and hardships.
“What a beautiful and romantic photo. This is what love looks like.”
I don’t know. Looks like she’s trying to avoid being kissed by him, IMO. This whole thing is stupid. Not kissing till you are married is stupid and taking “purity” to an extreme. What is this, a bunch of fundamentalist Taliban types? Ugh.
Who has claimed that kissing, in and of itself, is impure?
Why is abstaining from kissing a stupid example of abstinence?
or maybe they played that game that Harold Ramis and Sean Young played in STRIPES, that is if you remember the movie.
At that point, he will enter into courtship with a young lady by first approaching her father.
Their courtship will be kept pure, and their first kiss will be at the altar.
He is praying for his future wife and wants a large family.
Never saw the movie, but I doubt they played any sexual games of any nature prior to their wedding on Saturday.
Disagreeing with their decision is one thing, mockery is another. But keep showing your classlessness.
