Unmet sexual longing is a powerful motivator for men and women alike. Many of our parents, and especially grandparents, had short courtships thanks to this natural force. Men who are getting their sexual needs met casually have fewer reasons to sign up for all the responsibilities of marriage.
Sex should flow from a godly relationship. It was designed to sweeten a life of commitment. When couples partake of it prematurely, it tends to sicken, much like eating dessert before you’ve had dinner. Many Christians who’ve had premarital sex eventually marry; but this does little to alleviate their consciences and often results in disaster.
I find it hard to believe this antiquated belief is part of the issue. Now the better question, would any man in this day and age accept that I decided to stop having premarital sex and wait until marriage?
I just read this article and the author suggests that having premarital sex diminishes my power to find a husband. At 37, I am open to researching my options.

So is this really an issue? And would men even accept that a woman wants to wait until marriage? I see the point about buying the cow.

A religious one? Seeing you quoted a religious site?

I think it's only an issue for men who don't want to get married in the first place. Men who value marriage still get married even though they were getting sex before the wedding.

Oh god, I don't have a religious bone in my body. Someone said I needed religion in my life, so I went and bought a church pew for my foyer. That will have to do.

Actually, it's an utterly wrong cliche - the majority of married people do, in fact, have premarital sex.
Aside from that, the logic of entering a marriage where the man is only induced to marry so he can get laid is an astonishingly woefully bad strategy for selecting a spouse. Women should flee from the possibility of marriage under such circumstances.
Sex is a normal aspect of human pair-bonding. The notion that it should not come before some master of ceremonies speaks a few magic words simply makes no sense whatsoever.

I am finding that most do not value marriage. Of course when I ask, they say sure they want to be married someday in the future. As they turn white as a ghost at the thought. Many have been there/ do be that and wear the scars.
Maybe I am different in the sense I was married young and have been divorced a really long time. I no longer hold any hard feelings towards marriage.
