True Love waits. The pledge is “Believing that true love waits, I make a commitment to God, myself, my family, my friends, my future mate, and my future children to be sexually abstinent from this day until the day I enter a biblical marriage relationship.”
Sheila and I signed our pledges at a ceremony at our church with ten other teen age couples. Giving the pledge we all promised to remain virgin and wait until marriage for sexual relations.
We became engaged the next year just after I became seventeen. Being engaged, in love and not being sexual was hard, really hard but some how we made it. I guess the possibility of a pregnancy before marriage was what kept us from doing it.
Before we could be married and because Sheila was under eighteen, we were required by our pastor and our parents to do several counseling sessions about what it means to be married in a christian way. The reverend showed us the bible passage about having a family where the bible says â€be fruitful and multiply. He asked Sheila how she felt about having a family and Sheila told the Reverend that she was real ready to start our family immediately after marriage. We talked about our desire for a large family, Sheila thinks six would be about right and thetas cool by me so we agreed not to do birth control.
We were married just after I became eighteen, Sheila was s and two months which reason we had to have counseling. The wedding was June, soon after I graduated from high school in a big traditional church ceremony followed by a reception and then we were on the road to a nearby town where I had a hotel room reserved for our big night.
This was the big moment. Up until now we had never seen each other naked or indulged in heavy petting for fear of loosing control. Now naked together on the bed we began the marriage ritual enjoying for the first time the feelings of my brides hands on my body and mine feeling her most intimate parts for the first time. Soon the hardness of my penis told us that it was now time for that part of marriage that only a husband and wife can enjoy and the marriage was consummated in the Biblical sense.
Learning to love in marriage was a very exciting time of love and pleasure. The fact that we came to marriage together as virgins provided us with challenges and opportunities to enjoy a new kind of closeness and pleasure. The fact that my bride returned from our honeymoon pregnant tells me that God was pleased with our love and granted us the pleasure of knowing that we would have children. Our baby is due in three months.
