I hear many opinions regarding on this, that they said its not that important nowadays, as long they love the person they will accept all things about her/him. But i still want to hear yours about this. what do you think? And which do you prefer?

I think it depends more on the people in the situation. In the old days loseing it before marriage was a bad thing but so was a lot of things that are acceptable today. Its not like if you do it and dont end up with that person your life will be ruined you can still be happy. However I do think its important not to think its so unimportant that you go crazy and get with everyone in sight because there is consequences but your not a bad person if you dont wait until marriage.

Your right Jhaszy, i know your point. Its very common here in our country that people get married because they already pregnant even though they are not yet prepared for handling a family, mostly happened to teenagers and i have a lot of friends like that. After the years they been in relationship they get seperatyed because they still want to experience being a teenager and that's so bad for them. and yes there are people who are been in love even though her love ones already have a child, or let me say a single mother or father.

I think the most important part of a relationship in todays world is mutual respect, trust and honesty. Many couples have been divorced (which takes care of the virginity issue) but that doesn't necessarily mean they sleep around. If you can trust your partner and have mutual respect for one another, more than likely you will have a very successful relationship.

Hi Ayebelle, This question is good to be answer by a guy. But then I would like to contribute my response from my point of view as a lady. In old folks traditional thinking, virginity is very important.If a lady is no longer virgin,then no guy might want to marry her. But in this modern life now,I don't think virginity is so important. I believe alot of couples might break the rule ** before they get married and ended up they still have a happy life. To have a happy family ,the most important is to trust each other and the LOVE is always there in their hearts. Whatever has been past,that is over.And never look back to the past, we should look forward to the future.

For me, virginity is very important. Virginity means you can protect your body and your heart oly give for your husband. If you can not keep your virginity until you marriage, that means you give the first honey moon present to other person not for your husband

Here in my country we are still conservative regarding that topic but some don't mind it anymore and many adapt the western culture. I think it is still important but not necessary it you have trust in each other I think it is no longer important.

In Malaysia culture virgin is very very very important like old man said virgin is great crown of women.If you loose your virgin thats mean you are nothing.Also in our culture if girls still hold her virginity she is perfect candidates to be wive.

I respect the Malaysian culture, but i want to empasize what you've said about If your not virgin, your nothing? You mean, the girl is already a trash? And about perfect candidates for being a wife? I dont think so. Why when it comes to virginty why mostly put it in a Girl? How about Boys too?

I am an Indian and in our country and religion virginity really matters. Its not just for the men but also for the women. We still have arranged marriages and so we trust our partners to be virgin until they are married. Its all about trust. Now a days young boys and girls lose their virginity very easy to their partner before marriage because they think that the westerners are doing it, so why can't we.

Hi.Yes,it's important to keep your virginity before you get married.It's precious to women.It's sign that you could to keep your self,keep your purity as woman,keep respectability..Nowdays,there is flirtation to make it will be lost.

I think virginity is really important and I dont think its an old fashioned view to take. For a girl to be a virgin on her wedding night is a beautiful thing - it means she can give something totally unique to her husband

personally i give importance to virginity.though im not a conservative type of a woman but still i have these some values that i keep.but to examine the word virginity it is not described by just solely having a close hymen.virginity means purity and the state of being untouched, unexplored and unspoiled.meaning, the time that we indulge ourselves even in just a simple kiss and caressing of bodies made us already a non virgin.so unknown to us we already disregard the importance of virginity way back time.

virginity is only as important at the person that has it wants it to be. meaning if the person really wants to wait and does so they reguard virginity as important. As a whole i think the whole cool to be a virgin thing went out long ago with the virgin mary. assuming she was a virgin and not covering up the fact that she way pregnant out of wedlock. too bad they didnt have Maury back then.. anyway Virginity should be important to all but with the decline in self respect that is one of the things that has declined as well.

I think it is very important if you are young. I don't think it should be as important for an adult. If you care about the person you are with, then the first time you are intimate, you will be virgins to each other.

Well, it depends. If you are 25 and marrying someone, you should probably both be virgins, unless you're Mourman (pardon my spelling) I guess. I've noticed a lot of Mourmans have children around age 20.
