Physical Boundaries- "No kissing before marriage" -Really?

Everyone has their own take on what's right and wrong when it comes to physical boundaries in a dating reltionship. Some would go so far as to say- "no kissing before marriage" which sounds a bit odd and unnatural if you ask me.

I certainly don't think the Song of Solomon advocates that school of thought so where does this kind of thinking come from?

And please someone tell me why is it so many men in generations past were able to kiss and lovingly embrace the women in their lives and still respect them enough to wait to have sex when it's appropriate- say on their wedding night? As far as I can see this is a good and healthy standard to maintain.

Why is it seemingly impossible even for most Christian men and women to maintain that standard now? This seems like an appropriate and healthy boundary if you ask me... Why can't people at least wait and have an actual honeymoon?

The physical act of loving and giving yourself completely to someone is a sacred thing. Once you are married then you are free and safe to explore that part of the relationship with your beloved and not before even if you do "feel" tempted to do so... that's the way I see it.



God's love reaches all- growing means thinking outside the box... love one another

    Quoting  :

Hi Mike...yes, I speaks the truth...I do enjoy kissing with the right fella. You are too funny....so guess I've been absent from your blog a bit, assuming that you have written on other things besides kissing recently? Will have to fix that...have been in NC for a week now and life has been a bit crazy...just have popped in here and there and guess the kissing post attracted my attention...what can I say?

I see no problem with kissing...and in fact enjoy it myself; however there are different types of kissing; some types of kissing...prolonged and deep kissing are preludes to other things, and just not wise if one is trying to maintain purity in relationship. So wisdom and knowing one's own boundaries...and respecting their partner's boundaries...is key. But for me kissing, within the proper boundaries, is fine...and good.
