I'm not religious but I did plan on waiting until marriage when I was younger. I waited until I was 21 and I am proud that I did wait that long.

I don't regret not waiting. I waited until I was old enough for the responsibilities that come with sex. I had both my kids before marriage and there are no regrets. I married at the age of 30, had my first child at 24.

I think most people have that first thought of waiting until marriage but most end up not doing that. You fall in love and things happen.

My parents generation waited until marriage but they also married very young. My mother was 18 when she married and that was the norm back then. Nowadays, people are waiting a lot longer to marry.
