- In this episode of #HowMarriedAreYou, we share our experience dating and entering into marriage with only one of us having been a virgin. We discuss the challenges of abstaining while dating, and boundaries we set up to maintain that abstinence. We also dive deep into why we abstained from sex before marriage, as well as the challenges we had to overcome when married.

Churches and parents are really failing young adults by intentionally withholding and avoiding these candid discussions about the emotional, physical and logistical aspects of sex. The natural human body response to sex such as responsiveness, receptivity, or being closed off can also be influenced by upbringing, abuse or trauma history too.
I'm so thankful my hubby and I were friends before we dated and waited and were both virgins, however I can relate to Yvette! I had that same experience. I want to be the one to teach my daughters, when they are old enough, to save themselves for marriage, but knowing what I know now and what could have made my wedding night easier, I want to be able to pass that knowledge on to them. I want my son to be like his daddy. A one woman man! I want my son to treat women with respect and trust in God to bring the right woman into his life.
I loved this video!! The honest, open dialogue was great!
Amen. Same here. I agree.
You two were made for each other 💞
I'm older and in this season. God bless my husband for his patience.
This was a necessary conversation. I think there should be a part 2 to discuss what type of boundaries you put in place while abstaining. Like did y'all only hangout during the daytime or in groups, did you have accountability partners? And how was sex not ever a discussion? I loved the airhorns every time Yvette spoke candidly lol keep speaking your truth sis.
Thank you for being so honest about your feelings and experiences. I'm not a religious person, but I completely empathize with all of what you're saying, both of you. Yvette, as another woman, I would also tell your 23 yr old self, in addition to what you said, "good job listening to your body that first night." Its important for woman to acknowledge when we know what we're ready for and what we're not ready for.
At 26:00 what the both of you explained is probably how a lot of men and women sometimes feel. Glad to hear a man's perspective about abstinence and purity.
this is the first time I have ever heard a couple, or anyone really, discuss this topic. I heard about this podcast from Kevinonstage and I am so glad I did. Keep doing what your doing.
So good, so honest! Thank you both for your openness.
Man!!! God bless this relationship over and over again! I’m struggling with this topic but I desire a relationship that is pleasing to God! I feel that there is a greater blessing in the obedience to God then in the falling to the temptations of our flesh! Glenn’s understanding of his role/leadership relating to intimacy is so beautiful! The two of them together is amazing!!!
The benefit in waiting to have sex prior to marriage is that your spouse is the only one to have ever had this precious gift handed to them. Also, there is not the comparison to other sexual partners. And as Glen said, there aren’t those soul ties with others. It is possible because with God all things are possible. God is able to keep you if you want to be kept and sometimes even I’d you’re not.
You test drive cars, you try on shoes and you do walk throughs with real estate. You do these things with stuff... not people. It's gonna see how Tyrese view his opinions towards sex as his daughter grows and get to that sexual age. 👩🏾🦱
21:15 - SO TRUE... the church needs to definitely fill that space with instruction, teaching, etc about the real, difficult and troublesome transition from going without sex, fighting that temptation for a period of time (whether thats all your life or several years) to actually marrying and being free to have sex. Its not an easy transition for everyone...but it certainly shouldn't be shameful or AS frustrating. I remember asking a similar question about this in a group premarital situation. In that particular session, they separated the men and women and I posed a similar question "what kind of advice do you have for the women who have been saving themselves for marriage and are transitioning into having sex regularly." The answer sounded like a 1st grader trying to explain molecular biology. She was like "well, yes. You have to please your husband so you have to do it." In that moment, about 3 or 4 years ago, I realized the complexity and nuance of that question was SOOOO off her radar that the church wasn't even CLOSE (at that time) to even discussing or entertaining or realizing this as a legit need. Traditionally, sexuality in the world and in the church has been about the man's pleasure and the woman's plight....and everyone has just kinda existed in that space and been ok with it. Times are a'changing.

26:44 - Pleasing God. That's the real benefit. The thing is, culturally, back in the bible days, people married shortly after puberty and sexual desire started. So, with that, now that we're marrying MUCH older, we have to account for that extended lapse between the onset of sexual desire and marriage in our 20s, 30s and beyond with addressing it appropriately. And that practice in self control is HUGE!

33:25 - AMEN and AMEN!!

36:24 - that weird noise legit scared me lololol
I can't believe im just now being recommend these videos I could of used 2years ago I thought But in all actually they relate to my life today just as well. Thank you both
This made me emotional. If it's meant to be I pray I find my equivalent
😂😂 This is so funny to hear about the pot roast, considering yall just spoke about Glen trying to make it in one of your recent episodes.
....1 Corinthians 6:18 is the verse that says not to fornicate.
So appreciate this topic!
Hey Glen I would like two know where do you get your hats from? Love the family Channel and pod cast. Keep it going.
THANK YOU. You Guys are So REAL & honest about your experiences. My husband had the same problem i couldn't let him touch me & he was so confused what happened to me 😁 live and learn
I feel like Yvette is what i am going to be like. I plan on staying abstinent before marriage and I feel like I am going to struggle 😟
I guess if you talk about enough to remove the stigma of having sex, and understand that sex in marriage is of God, you might not struggle as much. It might be awkward at first, but at least you won't be afraid or ashamed when the time comes
Inez same girl sAME!!
Sadly, 'kingdom marriages' are breaking up over sexual issues. Sex is an important part of marriage that should not be minimized or ignored. I'm so glad that I was raised Baptist and we didn't have these issues. :) Joking aside, church culture is messing people up spiritually and physically and it needs to stop.
Christianity is hot garbage
No SEX talk. 🤦♀️ MAAAANNN....Oh no. Thank you all for sharing your experience.
Great Pod Cast
I respect their decision to be abstinent before marriage, but I just don't know how you have no talks about sex at all or know if someone is a virgin before that time.
Great episode
Yessss talk about it!!!!
A company called Moral Revolution is a Christian company that teaches on sex, church, culture and relationships. If you've never heard or it, it may be good to have a look.
You said 6 years, so did you'll take 6 years to find a rhythm or for things to flow properly in the bedroom?
I loved this video. I too am celibate right now until I find my husband. I must say though this video was too funny 😂😂😂😂
Cool peoples
Did you guys like kiss or touch though ... I am not married but I would like to ask some questions do you have an email 😁
You could make fajitas with leftover pot roast.
Do a lot of four play and relax
Bring different objects in the bedroom
sexual coercion = sexual assault / rape
Since consent given under coercion isn't freely given, it doesn't count as consent. It follows, then, that coerced sex (when it involves penetration) would count as rape, even if the other person didn't use physical force or violence.
