Here's a kind of straw poll for the Wondercafe crowd:

How do sexuality and marriage go together? Do you think people should wait for sex until marriage? Until they're in a committed relationship (and if so, what does committed mean)? Or should they wait at all?

If you would identify yourself as a christian, how much does the bible guide your views? Do you disagree with it (just considering this general topic)?

Or perhaps more to the point - how do you *interpret* the bible on this issue?

Abigail: Bible

in the thread posted by dionamanda, numerous people have suggested that men going to strip clubs is okay, and that if his partner has a problem with it, they need to just get over it and quit trying to ruin his fun. 

for me, if a man in a committed relationship knows that going to a strip club is something that will upset his partner, then he shouldn't be going in there.  period.   there really is no reason that i can see why it is imperative that a man go to a strip club at all.

what am i missing here??

Just as I was going to post this topic, I noticed the 'open marriage' thread...I was going to add to it but my question is a little different... it's kinda the opposite...

So I have been together with my boyfriend for close to two years now.  This Christmas I thought for sure that he would pop the question and he did in a manner of speaking.  He asked me to move in with him.  I wanted a marriage proposal.  I thought it was coming.  I still love him.  Should I hold out for the marriage proposal or move in with him and maybe next Christmas he will propose?

Is it important that I share my full financial status (ie show dear hubby my bank account statements etc.)?  We each have our own account plus a joint account for savings and bills.  We each put into the joint account a set amount of money to cover off expenses but the money in our own accounts is our business, as are credit cards. 

Is it right for people to get wed to more than one person? And if this goes undetected long enough for the group to have children, like in most polygamist familes, should the children be taken away from their parents because of the different family life-style they lead? What possible problems could arise from having more than 2 parents?
