Waiting till the wedding night – getting married the right way

As anyone who’s read my abstinence column here at Fox News Opinion could guess, my wedding is something that I’ve looked forward to for quite some time. After having tied the knot at the end of August, I can now say beyond all shadow of a doubt, that it was everything I’d hoped and prayed that it would be since childhood. (I’d also prayed to be bitten by a radioactive spider and develop sticky hands, but… I was an idiot.)

Let me preface this column by saying this: my wife (I have to get used to saying that) and I not only waited sexually in every way (no, we didn’t pull the Bill Clinton and technically avoid “sex” sex,) but we didn’t shack up as live-ins and most importantly, we courted each other in a way that was consistent with our publicly professed values.

We did it right.

Feeling judged? I couldn’t care less. You know why? Because my wife and I were judged all throughout our relationship. People laughed, scoffed and poked fun at the young, celibate, naive Christian couple.

“Do you really think God looks at them less over another married Christian couple who just attend church but don’t do much?”

Poor comparison. Some churches are completely devoid of the Holy Spirit and Salvation is through Faith, not works.

“It’s none of the pastors business and the arrangement is between the couple and God.”

Your level of ignorance of the Disciple’s teachings in the New Testament is staggering.

But, in spite of all of society's pressures to the contrary, I have noticed an increase in young people embracing traditional Christian morality in the past ten to fifteen years. They have seen a generation lost to abortion, they have seen the destroyed and empty marriages of their parents and grandparents and they are finally awakening to the realization that God's plan is the only one that will result in an abundant life.

God's spiritual laws are just as real as the physical laws that govern our physical existence and violating those spiritual laws will ALWAYS bring disastrous consequences.

Galatians 6:7-8 7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
