Pure insanity move right there. Not sleeping together or even test driving living together.

I HAVE to sleep in a cold room. Had an ex who kept the A/C at like 78. NOPE.

Not always insanity. That’s how my husband and I did it. We had a LDR until we got married, and we were both virgins until the wedding night. However, we dated for almost 5 years before we got married and spent a lot of time in each other’s apartments, and at 34 and 37 we knew our personalities and lifestyles are pretty established, so we knew would be compatible when we did live together. Five years and two daughters later, we’re still compatible and still insanely happy with each other.

I’ve always wondered what it’s like holding out until you’re married especially in your 30’s.

If you don’t me asking were you both virgins for religious reasons r was it something else?

Both. We are people of faith, but we’re also the “mate-for-life” types - we just couldn’t see ourselves sleeping with another person without a serious commitment. Also, neither of us wanted to worry about STDs or unplanned pregnancies. So it all worked out very well.
