Really? None of my relationships have changed after sex. I don't dive right into sex with someone the moment I meet them, but I wouldn't say any of them really changed afterwards...

That rate has gone down, in recent years, although the distributions of those statistics have also changed, which kind of throws the balance off. My point is that marriage, while great in many situations, isn't always all it's cracked up to be; especially nowadays. Although I believe that sex that produces a child is best left to a married couple, it can neither be assured that any couple will stay together, in the long run, nor stated as fact that all sex should be done with the purpose of creating a child.
Sex (specifically, safe sex) will always be more intimate, for lovers, but it is just as acceptable, for recreation, if you ask me.
I 100% agree with you! Marriage is nowadays hard to take as a solid binding commitment to each other - the divorce rate is at 50% there or there about's, well it is in the UK. And you might think, well I am different, but is the person you are with different.
I don't see what all this waiting till I am married approach is for anyway. I mean if you love someone, then why not sleep with them, you kiss them, and have intimate moments with them, sex is just another intimate moment? Why wait till you have a piece of paper to say you are going to be married before having sex? What if you get divorced, do you wait again, or just have sex with anyone since you have already broken the seal?
Maybe I am a little cynical, but coming from a broken family, and seeing how so many marriages fail, the values associated with marriage depreciate with this, thus making waiting for sex till marriage a desultory thing to do.
Just my thoughts.
p.s yes it is that good
