Also, I am more sympathetic to your ideas than some here. But I do not quite agree with you. It can work out fine, doing as you have done. Or not. And it is the "or not" that is at issue. I am suggesting that, as a practical matter, it would be a good idea to make sure about the sex before marriage. Of course, if the sex is good, then it would have been fine to wait. It is only after the sex, though, that one will know one way or the other.
I don't see how it would make a difference... at least to me, personally. Let's rewind to 6 years ago at a time when my now husband and I were about to get engaged. But before we did, lets say we had sex as some sort of little "test." Even if the sex wasn't great, I wouldn't dump someone I loved so much over something that we had our whole lives to improve on. That's what I just don't get about folks saying they have to "test drive" other people. But I guess it's just not my way of thinking.
Sexual compatibility is important in a relationship. The frustration that arises in a relationship featuring sexual incompatibility can, does, and has sank many of them -- not because the persons involved are shallow, but because they are human.
