Is saving sex for marriage really worth it? Will the wedding night be totally awkward if we don’t "practice" first? And what about sexual compatibility—doesn’t that matter??

We’re two Christian sisters who made the choice to wait until marriage, and trust us—we’ve heard all the questions (and plenty of skeptical comments). So let’s have an open, honest, and totally unfiltered conversation about it.

After 6 and 14 years of marriage, do we regret waiting? If we could go back, would we do things differently? And were our wedding nights as awkward as everyone assumes? Let’s talk about it.
