Notes -
Dude, you described my feelings perfectly here. I tried to do it here but didn't expect the pushback. I didn't suspect my views were so alien to a lot of the world. Sex was so synonymous with marriage in my upbringing, so your marriage analogy makes a lot of sense. In the Old Times before everyone was forced to let young people do whatever they want, sex was synonymous with marriage for a lot of people. Modern day relationships are sort of like micro-marriages from this perspective. And yes, it is a bitter pill to swallow that I purposely avoided micro-marriages until I was ready to walk the walk, and very few others even stopped to consider it. I do not like modern society. Maybe I would like it better if my evangelical parents didn't instill these traditionalist values in me, but at least one of them didn't like the way modern society handles relationships, either, so it's hard to blame them. Birth control really must have cheapened sex a lot.
