Yeah, it's cool... Good for them.

I found it kind of sad that people are so excited about something that should be normal... Excited enough to write an article about it. >.<;;;

I'm on the same page with you Sunako. I was read through it and I kept thinking "You'd think they'd never met a couple that saved sex for marriage!" Really, really sad. . .
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

It is so refreshing to see people out there willing to wait. I'm believed for years that people who engage in premarital sex and end up breaking up have a harder time emotionally.

"The people that wait know the consequences outweigh the benefits ... If I choose to become sexually active, I create a bond that can only be broken with severe pain involved....Chad and Jacynda both comment on seeing friends in high school emotionally hurt after choosing to have sex. (UW Daily)"

A relationship is more than sex, it's a friendship. And when you base your relationship purely on sex it surely won't last. There will be no love involved. Like the nice couple stated, "Sex is not at the center of a good marriage, but it can be the fruit of a good one ..." When you are emotional involved you find more comfort and fulfillment in your marriage and sex. That's where true love and happiness with your mate lies ; that's how God intended it. Sex is a precious gift that God gave us to help us express and show our love to our marriage partner. It's a beautiful thing and when you abuse it, the end result can only lead to pain. If your partner truely loves you he/she will out of respect for your feelings be willing to make that effort and wait. And if they refuse then you have to ask yourself, "Did they truely love me or just want sex?" It's a precious gift we can't take back and it's something very emotional.

Interesting at how their situation is look at as rare or even odd.

I'm very happy for them, though. Thanks for sharing, Yahshua.
