Taste It Before You Waste It

So I got to thinking...it's always easy to want to compare your spouse to a piece of cake, a Christmas present, etc., talking about how you or your spouse don't want to be "tainted" from prior sexual activity, because once your spouse gets you & vice versa, y'all don't want to be disappointed because someone broke it or bit out of it.


Well how's this for you?


Abstaining from pre-marital sex can in a lot of ways be like takeout pizza. You get to Pizza Hut, & they place the box in front of you on the counter. However, before the cashier rings you up for $15.25, you don't lift the lid to check if it's what you wanted until you already drove home. You notice that the pizza dough isn't quite cooked through-just enough, but still no cigar. They forgot the onions, but got the other toppings right at least. However, they didn't put it on a stuffed crust pie-what you specifically asked and hoped for. Now you're stuck with it. What's the point of throwing it out though? It was your decision to not check it & assume it'd be what you want. Oh well, be happy with what you get, right?


Whereas if we had a time machine, we'd take you back to that counter at Pizza Hut, & before laying down your cash, you do a simple lift of the box and notice these vices before deciding that this isn't what you want, could you have what you asked for, please. They make you a new pizza at no extra charge, you take it home, voila, bon appetit, no harm done. Would that pizza have been good in it's own way? Sure, if you had no other choice, but not your pick for what you want-maybe somebody else, like an employee in the back, will be thorougly satisfied with it when he takes the mess-up pizzas home.


Same thing applies with how overrated "no sex before marriage" has come in a sex-induced culture. With them having such a heavy clash, what's wrong with a moderate approach? The ideal of the purity movement is that you'll get everything you want intimately in a spouse, when you really don't even know what you want in the first place because you haven't tried it.


I wish you all the best, and whatever prerogative you choose, I hope you eat satisfully on your wedding night.
