It is important to respect people's choices. That doesn't mean we need to choose people whose beliefs are contrary to ours, but how can we expect consideration for others if we don't give consideration to them? You seem to want people to conform to your belief rather than just accept the fact you are choosing to limit your opportunities to those who conform. It's not about telling others they should believe as you do; it's about choosing people who already believe as you do.
Not all people prioritize being married, so expecting them to want to marry is being insensitive. Not all people want to gamble with important aspects of a relationship. It's amazing how many people say "just trust me." Would you choose a partner without first knowing whether you are compatible financially or in the area of communication? Keeping people in the dark till they feel stuck is deceptive. How can anyone predict compatibility without experiencing that which you want to be compatible? While looking for tenants, I can't tell you how many people want to rent who say "I know my credit is bad, but I'm a Christian, so you can trust me." I'd rather deal with those who pay the rent rather than promise to pay the rent. I have tended to be too trusting, so I've been burned too many times by people who feel empty promises are good enough.
No one's saying you need to settle for someone who doesn't meet your expectations, but understand your expectations are limiting your opportunities. It's not about expecting others to be different, but accepting it is your choices that limit your opportunities. For instance, I choose to live on a farm in the country, even knowing that choice will remove a great number of women from my potential partner pool. I accept this is my choice rather than playing the victim and expect women to appreciate the challenges of country living. I want to know if a woman prefers urban living, but I have no desire to judge her choices or change her.

I would NEVER marry anyone who wouldn't have sex before marriage. I would assume that they were lousy in bed. Sex is obviously unimportant to them. And with their strong-willed attitude, they wouldn't follow the man's lead and go with the flow during sex even after marriage.
A girl like that wouldn't be sensual, erogenous, or revel in sexuality. I can't imagine her swallowing cum or sucking my dick when it's covered with cream from being inside her. She might protest against certain positions. She would have to be in "the mood" before letting a man enjoy her. She probably only wants sex for procreation.
Who knows? That's the point. I wouldn't sign a life long contract without knowing what I was getting.
And frankly, I don't want someone who refuses to live life because of inhibitions about sex. I place zero value on virginity or "purity".
That's just me. I'm not judging anyone else's preferences or values.
Do you think it's ok to do other things before marriage like handjobs or blowjobs?
