The "I got a friend who" question
Posted : 23 May, 2012 07:14 AM

I got a friend who believes in no physical contact before marriage. He reaffirms no sex before marriage. He also believe in no contact whatsoever (kissing, hugging, holding hands etc.). I have two questions.



1. Ladies, would you have a problem dating a guy that believe in no physical contact before marriage ( no hugging, kissing, holding hands as well)?





2. Can a relationship last without physical contact of any kind? Personally, it would resemble to me just a good friendship. I wouldn't know how to distinguish between a friendship and a romantic relationship. I think at the beginning of the relationship, a couple needs to be in agreement on a matter such as this.



Personally, I met a nice christian lady on a christian dating site a while back. She really had a nice personality and we could talk about the Bible for hours. Since my minor was in theology studies, we talk a lot about theologians and theology in general. She had a lot of qualities I looked for in a relationship and possibly as a wife except she believe in no physical contact of any kind in a relationship. I respectfully disagreed. We went our separate ways.

It's not necessarily that it's forbidden in scripture but the fact that so many do not care that they give parts of themselves away to people who are not and will not be their future husband. So when your husband/wife is kissing, holding hands, etc...he/she is just one of many to have experienced those things with you.

Really? Giving parts of yourself away? That's absolutely ridiculous.

Physical contact should be limited until marriage. IMO

If I like the man I was dating, I would have no problem

with a Hug and a bit of a kiss. I would Never want to Marry

any Man because knowing he was able to be Affectionate.

Different strokes for different Folks. :laugh:

I would have a problem dating a guy that believes in no physical contact whatsoever before marriage. Fine, i would not allow any kiss or sex( that is sexual immorality and the bible is against it) but i do not see any problem with hugging( brief and casual) or holding hands with my boyfriend, i do believe that physical contact like holding hands, hugs, cuddling is one way of showing and expressing affection and love.



why would it be okay for me to hug or hold hands with my other friends and not my boyfriend? Let us not pretend here, the idea of no physical contact until marriage may only work where people are not emotionally attracted to each other...A human being is definitely human and like Jonmark said, it may be very hard or even impossible to establish a relationship with the opposite sex without some sort of physical contact for example holding hands and hugs.



So what happens in case i stumble and fall down, does it mean that my boyfriend should just watch and not help? I can imagine a scenario where am meeting this guy for the first time and we are both excited and all we do it to just look and smile may be...lol!
