I wouldn’t buy a car without first taking a test drive.
How many of your test-driven cars do you still have 50 years later?
When my kids were small and they played rec leaque basketball we were told to have them use a ball that was the riqht size for their bodies because if they used a full-sized ball they would learn the wronq form and all their practice would only teach them how to do it the WRONQ way.
Sex before marriaqe is learninq how to have sex with somebody you’re not married to. Totally different than what marriaqe is, and that may be one reason that cohabitatinq before marriaqe actually increases the likelihood of the marriaqe endinq in divorce. If you’ve spent your lifetime learninq how to sample the field lookinq for somebody perfect, you’re not qoinq to stop doinq that just because you wear a weddinq rinq.
We’ve known people who cohabitated for a lonq time but when they qot married it was a totally different thinq, and they quickly divorced. They had learned to NOT be husband and wife, and couldn’t handle it when they tried to actually be husband and wife.
“I wouldn’t buy a car without first taking a test drive.”
Without examining the metaphor, let’s just assume you are not a Christian, which makes the discussion moot.
Pity the poor woman whom you compare to a machine made for your use.
Some thoughts come to mind: #1. She is possibly a closet asexual. #2. She’s bucking for “old maid” status. #3. ...or she is advertizing her “Quasi-Palin” looks with the virginity aspect bonus to reel in a rich “winner”.
Whatever, I’d still like to visualize her “connect the dots tramp stamp”, before determining guilt.
Haha! Nice
“I wouldn’t buy a car without first taking a test drive.”
A poor metaphor selection
A better one might be...
Would you try on underwear that other strangers have tried on (maybe even multiple times, by multiple strangers), before you bought a pair?
