"Success" story
![[Image: Kiss-2.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/Zqj7v7Zk/Kiss-2.jpg)
Quote:Both Jordan and Nessa hadn't had sex when they met, and they both intended to wait until they were married to be intimate.
The couple decided they wouldn't even kiss before they were married.
"We thought it was really our best way to glorify God," she added of abstaining from kissing.
Jordan proposed to Nessa in the summer of 2020, and they celebrated by holding hands. They planned to get married in February 2021.
Texas wasn't restricting weddings because of the coronavirus on their planned wedding date, so the couple was able to invite 350 people to their wedding.
Nessa told Insider she had been mentally preparing herself for the kiss the whole wedding day.
So after the officiant pronounced Nessa and Jordan husband and wife, she was ready for the kiss.
Jordan and Nessa said that on their honeymoon, they didn't rush into having sex, as they wanted to wait until they were in their actual bed at home because they believe "the marriage bed is sacred," as Nessa said.
"We actually took that time to really get to know each other," she said of their wedding night.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If that works for them then that's fine. Good for them. I just don't like the impression that because they abstained that makes them better than everyone else.
Talking about "the best way" and the sacredness of their marriage bed(as if sex between them is so holy, it can't be had anywhere else; for virgins, they sure think highly of their own prowess) these are loaded in a pretentious, arrogant way. Talking about the lack of lust on their wedding night "We actually took that time to really get to know each other," as if being physically intimate together wouldn't be a part of that. As if, anyone who does let sex come between them on their wedding night is lesser, like, "WE had the willpower and put the work in to make our relationship REALLY matter." And anyone who doesn't wait for-fricking-ever to finally have it don't really know each other.
But whatever. Good for them.

Probably not very good for them to have such a strange attitude towards sex. Take Jessica Simpson who waited after getting married to have sex and then quickly had a divorce.
Christians and "bad" words, especially after 2m 21s when Missy is reading the Bible
