I’m very happy for you! That’s wonderful! And it makes so much sense that you wanted to keep intercourse, something that had been almost forceably taken from you, for your soulmate. I can absolutely see how that would be a reclamation of bodily autonomy and really really special.

I too am happy I chose to wait for my love. Even though we didn’t wait for marriage. I was a 23 year old virgin. And yeah, it wasn’t disappointing for me either. Probably because my now fiance and I knew each other so well by that time and felt really comfortable together. But yeah, if we’d spent 7 years on what many people consider “foreplay” then I’m sure it would have been even better!

I hope your life with your husband continues to be as amazing as it is now, forever and ever! And I’m sure it will. Because you’ve gone past the honeymoon phase of love (despite probably being on your ACTUAL honeymoon right now) and you clearly know your husband super well, yet you still are in love. That’s wonderful.

I always think it’s interesting when people say “oh the passion will fade after 6 months to two years” — well it does if all you have is a crush on the person, but if it’s real love the love only deepens and gets stronger!

I’m not a Christian but I have to say, blessings on you. From God or the universe or whatever. :)
