no, i'm not talking about that singing scottish woman! i saw on the news recently a story about a woman about to be married who has NEVER been kissed-- she says she was saving herself for her husband to be. does that seem extreme to anyone else? i mean, i totally understand waiting on sex til marriage & thats a decision i actually really respect, but not even kissing anyone?? talk about pressure on your wedding night! i mean, how do you go from holding hands to whole hog like that?
totally unrelated, but funny-- con is working on a big poo right now & is very upset about it. (are my kids the only ones who get distressed over their poops? there is absolutely nothing wrong with them, they just scream through pooping.) anyways, he is insisting that i hold him & comfort him through it, so con & i are sitting in our own personal cloud of poop funk, working on a big one. didn't think i'd be a poop cheerleader quite this early in the game, but hey-- whatever it takes!
I had a friend who waited until marriage to kiss. She even asked that I not kiss DH in front of her and her boyfriend (DH and I were just dating at the time), and I thought it was odd because we really weren't the PDA kind of couple anyway so if we ever did kiss in front of people it was a peck on the cheek.
ReplyDeleteAs for the pooping...Noah doesn't get distressed, but he does like me to hold him while he does. And he just stares at me with this really serious face. It is actually pretty funny!
I know the Dugger kids from 18 Kids and Counting on TLC don't believe in kissing before marriage, but I honestly don't think I would be able to not kiss. I understand the no sex til marriage but not kissing may be a little extreme.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest daughter was like that when pooping. She would make the oddest sounds as she tried to poop, but she didn't like to be held while pooping.
Kerry said what I was going to say, about the Duggers. I thought that was the strangest thing. They went as far as chaperones on every date, after they were engaged. Strange.
ReplyDeletePooping, my kids were not distressed during, it was right after they would scream their heads off.
I am a firm believer in the no sex until marriage, but not the kissing part. We had an older couple at church that decided to wait to kiss until their wedding day (they had both been married before) and now they are separated. A big part of their problem is he HATES how she kisses and their sexual match up. I also know for some people it can be a trigger for more things, but I think most people can control themself after a kiss.
ReplyDeleteAs for the pooping Braden makes the most hilarious faces. He is also extremely loud and gassy, he farts like no ones business and then smiles. He doesn't usual get upset while pooping, but you better change his diaper quick or there is trouble.
I personally think it's a little extreme...I'd like to make sure there's at least a little chemistry and compatibility...but I guess to each their own there!
ReplyDeleteAs for pooing, a friend of mine's son has BIG TIME difficulty...let's just say, she has to often help him! :( He's gonna love those stories when he's a teenager!!!!
I had a friend who was planning to do the no kissing thing, but (after they got engaged) decided against it. I brought up the point about going from holding hands to "getting it on" on the wedding night... I also told her she may hate the way he kisses..lol Anyway, I am a big believer in no sex till marriage, but yeah, you have to see if the chemistry is even there for sex!! :P

I am also a believer in no sex until after marriage, but no way could I have gone without kissing him!!! I am actually DH's second kiss (after we broke up when we dated the first time, he dated my roommate and SHE was his first. ugh) but I was the first girl he'd held hands with!! (I took away his virgin hands the first time we dated. lol) Anyway, we avoided kissing with tongue because we felt like that could lead to more but we "made out," just using our lips. LOL. We kissed with tongue for the first time a month before we got married and I thought it was weird/gross but DH loved it!! After using tongue enough times, I got to where I like it.
ReplyDeleteI sent my big sis to your blog last night to see your cute babies, and she said to tell you they have poop problems too. LOL
