Is Virgin-Wedding Necessary?

Every woman I thought would love to walk down the isle through the altar, and say "I do." to her groom. She wanted to be in her pureness of a woman she can be. She wants to retain her virginity until their honeymoon. And I may say that most men will also love to marry a virgin, right guys? One of my girl office-mates here, still single and plans to get married not so long from now, asked: "Do women really need to be virgin on their wedding day?" Or "Is Virgin-Wedding necessary?" KEEP SMILING = NEIL

i dont think its necessary. virginity is overrated anyway. i mean why do girls always need to preserve her virginity until her wedding while the guy nail every women he met since 6th grade. its so unfair. if the society consider it as the sole gift of a women to her future husband then what would we the precious gift a man can give? so absurd how we put too much pressure on it.

that would be a great question men should answer: "what would be the precious gift of a man to her future wife, if virginity is the her precious gift to her future husband?" thanks nylnemnad and you have a point there.

In this century, virginity is not a big deal. What is important is both are faithful with each other. Though most women want to be a virgin until her honeymoon but there are circumstances that she lost it before it happened. If you are the man, would you prefer a virgin wife than a loyal wife?

"virgin-wedding" is not necessary but it is important to some people. religious ones expect if not require people who will get married to be "pure". that is why they wear white dress to symbolize purity. however, it is not necessary. if this is so, many women will not be able to get married. i think this notion should also apply to men. both should have the same expectation when it comes to marriage and other things.

well maybe that was true during the before the late 80's. though many still consider that even today. it's really a matter of belief and how you really love your husband or wife to be. even Filipinos right now are getting less and less conservative. don't you agree? well maybe that's part of evolution. for me it's not really a big deal. but being faithful is. have a good day neildc. -NEILâ„¢

well the girl who actually asked this question feels so happy right now. she says "i'm so happy to be a virgin". for the benefit of the doubt, if she really is, then we can conclude that there is still besides being less and less conservative Filipinos are.

virginity is still very special in the view of many traditional people, and also somewhat religious. As for me, virginity is also important. but I dont think Virgin_Wedding is necessary.Men should not require a Virgin _Wedding, except that is strictly demanded for religious reasons. Thanks for reading.Good day!

Even at my age, I would like to be a virgin when I get married. I'm 55, btw, so it's definitely important to me, and I personally think that it's the best way to go. But I don't think that it's necessary in the sense that somebody who has lost her virginity--either by becoming intimate with a high school sweetheart or else being wild and going around the block a few times--is "used goods" and, therefore, "ruined" for marriage. I've known of some cases where both the husband and wife were virgins, but it still didn't make their marriage happy for the simple reason that they were not as in love with each other as one should be before entering into marriage. On the other hand, I've known some couples where one or both of them have been around the block but still end up blissfully happy. Virginity is special, and I would advise anyone reading this to save it for the person you marry. However, even if you're far from being a virgin, there's no reason why you shouldn't be happy in a marriage, if the other person really truly loves you.

You possibly married your virgin wife on the rebound--that is, to try to get over the relationship that you had been in. Sounds as if, for whatever reason, the marriage was a mistake. I believe that a marriage you've saved yourself for might be one that you would want to work if at all possible and might invest more in making it work. However, some people just aren't meant to be married to each other but, somehow, end up that way, and no amount of virgins in the relationship could erase irreconcilable differences. People should really take a good look at themselves and the relationship before they marry in order to know for sure why the decision was to get married. For example, some people are more in love with the idea of marriage than the person he/she is marrying. Like some young lady wanting to dress up, go through a ceremony, and have a big party afterwards--but not thinking beyond that to, "How will I feel waking up beside this person fifty years from now?"

I had been with a relationship and actually my first marriage. I wasn't virgin but she was though not anymore when we got wed. I know I was the one who was her first. But the marriage didn't work so we parted ways, love lost in the long run.

Hi neildc, I would say it is very nice to preserve the virginity until the honeymoon! It can be the greatest gift a woman can give to the husband as well as pure love,honesty and sincerity! But, I would say, it is not a mUst of today's generation... There are many marriages that didn't work at first and they are very successful with their second partner! So, for me it has nothing to do with the success and failure of marriage!

one of the participants here said: "she do not need to be virgin if his virginity was lost with ME" and that happened with my first wife, before we came to the altar. But as you said, "it didn't work at first and they are very successful with their second partner" applies to me very well. I am with my second wife now for almost 13 years. KEEP SMILING = NEIL

It depends upon person to person,or,rather couple to couple.If someone says yes to it then in all fairness,he too should be a virgin too.Why only the purity of a woman and why not of men?If virgin means purity then both the partners should be so.

this is discussion is getting hot, really my friend. so when we say virgin-wedding, i guess it shouldn't be that the bride alone, it should be both of them are virgin. what do you think?

If I am the groom, I would want my wife to be virgin. Is it necessary? I would rather say that it is a proof that you have reserved the virginity for the one that you will spend your whole life forever.

I don't think so. If this is the case then it is so unfair that the girl is virgin while the guy is not.

Hi,my friend,first,in my opinion,virgin here,now,it means that the spritual pure.A vigin or not is not a real big deal,but the faith and love between husband and wife is a real big deal.Many couples still divorce later in their marriage life,although they once really had a virgin-wedding.In short,couples should love each other sincerely and faithfully,I hope,everyone will have great marriage life.

And I hope that this couple, the girl which is my subject here, have a great marriage life. It all depends in the girl whether she give it away (her virginity) before or after the wedding. The important thing is that they love each other both. Wish them all the luck.

I think that is the norm centuries ago. I think this issue is solely be decided by the bride and the groom. The outside parties doesn't have anything to do with this. For me virginity is not mandatory or not necessary. As long as you love each other what is done in the past is already done and it needs to be accepted.

Well, I would love to marry a virgin as I am a virgin myself. And I believe that most men would love to marry a virgin than marry someone who's been 'drilled' by someone. But just because one is a virgin I may not marry if there are other things not really in right order. However, other things being equal I think all would go for the virgin. And I don't see why it's a good thing to lose one's virginity before marriage. Fine if one has already lost, but for those who are still virgin it's much better to remain one till marriage. Blessings!

Hey there, I don't know if it's necessary but I think it is best that the girl be pure. It's just logical that a guy should want a girl who has never been touched by guys other than him but it is always understandable if a guy can overlook all that. In the end, it all depends on the cultural backgroud of the society itself. So, it is preferred to be virgin when you marry but if not then it's okay.

if that's the case, then shouldn't she be able to expect the same of her husband, or are men free to do as they wish as long as their property isn't second hand.

It's really a question of fairness but most girls do not really care if their boyfriend is a virgin as long as the guy is faithful to her. It all depends on the girl. But normally people stress on virgin girls.

Hi Neil, Many years ago if a girl weren't a virgin when she wants to get married men would think she was soild and not a good women. Girls used to save themselves for the right man but in this mordern times there not many women are virgins and that goes for the men as well. Tamara

it depends actually to the girl... she can choose not to be virgin anymore on her wedding day provided that she lost her virginity to the groom =) i mean he would be the 1st and the last. most women would do that or choose to be virgin to until honeymoon they say that's the best wedding gift they can give their husbands to be. most guys also wants to marry a virgin... =)

i guess you're right, being a virgin all depends on the girl. if her sweetheart ask her to do it before, she may or may not agree. so it really is with the person, the bride to choose whether or not she remain virgin on their wedding day.
