Waiting Until Marriage | Intimacy, Relationships, Temptation, Abstinence, God’s Will
Are you misunderstood for choosing to wait for physical intimacy? Do old relationship patterns challenge your commitment to wait? Do you worry you'll stay faithful but still end up alone? Are you wondering how you're expected to wait for physical intimacy when it feels so exhausting? Welcome! Let's talk honestly about love, desire, and waiting. This podcast will help you discover what it feels like to be truly loved, build a deeply connected and safe marriage, feel whole and confident before marriage, and navigate the wait with hope and practical guidance. Hey! I'm Maria, the wife to a Godly man – someone I never imagined I'd marry, with the past I had. Before I met my husband, I didn't have a healthy framework for relationships so I followed what felt right at the time. I tried pursuing men instead of them pursuing me. I ignored red flags in their character that caused unnecessary heartache. This only left me frustrated. Deep down, nothing I did felt right. I knew there had to be a better way. Then I gave my heart to the Lord, and everything changed. My whole life was transformed. I heard from couples who waited to be physically intimate until marriage, and I realized I wanted that to be my story too. I became the woman and wife that God created me to be, and I'm here to help you do the same. If you are ready to stop following the world's way and start living God's way – healing from past mistakes, forgiving yourself, walking in your purpose, and building the marriage of your dreams, this podcast is for you! Take a deep breath and lean into your faith; let's explore YOUR Godly love story!
