About Waiting Until Marriage | Intimacy, Relationships, Temptation, Abstinence, God’s Will

**Top 5% Globally Ranked Podcast** Are you misunderstood for choosing to wait for physical intimacy? Do old relationship patterns challenge your commitment to wait? Do you worry you'll stay faithful but still end up alone? Are you wondering how you're expected to wait for physical intimacy when it feels so exhausting? Welcome!  Let's talk honestly about love, desire, and waiting. This podcast will help you discover what it feels like to be truly loved, build a deeply connected and safe marriage, feel whole and confident before marriage, and navigate the wait with hope and practical guidance. Hey!  I'm Maria, the wife to a Godly man – someone I never imagined I'd marry, with the past I had.  Before I met my husband, I didn't have a healthy framework for relationships so I followed what felt right at the time.  I tried pursuing men instead of them pursuing me.  I ignored red flags in their character that caused unnecessary heartache.  This only left me frustrated.  Deep down, nothing I did felt right.  I knew there had to be a better way. Then I gave my heart to the Lord, and everything changed.  My whole life was transformed.  I heard from couples who waited to be physically intimate until marriage, and I realized I wanted that to be my story too.  I became the woman and wife that God created me to be, and I'm here to help you do the same. If you are ready to stop following the world's way and start living God's way – healing from past mistakes, forgiving yourself, walking in your purpose, and building the marriage of your dreams, this podcast is for you! Take a deep breath and lean into your faith; let's explore YOUR Godly love story!

   20 | Are You Unsure of How to Begin Again on Your New Faith-Based Journey? The Key to Walking with God One Step at a Time

   Have you reached the point where you don’t want to keep doing things the way you’ve always done them? In this episode, I share a surprising connection between the people I observed during years of commuting by train and the patterns we can sometimes repeat in our own lives. You may recognize yourself in those familiar routines—doing things the same way, getting the same results, and wondering why nothing changes. But real change begins when you reach the point where you genuinely want something different. No one else can make that decision for you. You’ll also hear the story of the prodigal son and discover what happens when we turn toward God with a repentant heart and choose to walk with Him in a new direction. This episode will encourage you to stop repeating the same patterns as you choose God’s way and take the first step toward beginning again.  You don’t have to have every step figured out before you begin. When you choose to turn toward God, He meets you where you are and walks with you one step at a time. ------------------------- The Parable of the Prodigal Son – Luke 15:11-24 ------------------------- Visit FirstKissStory.com to read real-life stories from women who chose to wait for physical intimacy until marriage.  First Kiss Story is not about whether you’ve ever kissed before.  Instead, the first kiss points to the first intimate moment shared within the safety of a marriage covenant.  It is a symbol of unity, devotion, and God’s redemptive design.  And that’s what Waiting Until Marriage is all about!

   19 | Did You Realize Your Childhood Affects How You Approach Intimacy as an Unmarried Woman? Here’s How.

   Have you ever wondered how your childhood shaped what you learned about intimacy? The way you experienced love, affection, relationships, and marriage growing up can influence how you approach intimacy as an unmarried woman. But your childhood does not have to determine your future. In this episode, we’ll look at the stories of four women who came from very different backgrounds. Two grew up in Christian homes with strong examples of healthy relationships. Two experienced painful childhoods and made difficult choices in their younger years.  And yet, all four ultimately came to the same decision: to reserve physical intimacy for marriage. So what changed? Their childhoods were different. Their pasts were different. Their journeys were different. But they discovered a common foundation: intimacy with God. Your childhood may have shaped what you learned about love and intimacy, but it doesn't have to determine how you approach relationships and physical intimacy as an unmarried woman. This episode will help you understand how your past may have influenced your view of intimacy and how intimacy with God can become a new foundation for your future relationships and physical intimacy. ------------------------- “We know how much God loves us because we have felt his love and because we believe him when he tells us that he loves us dearly. God is love, and anyone who lives in love is living with God and God is living in him.” (1 John 4:16) ------------------------- Visit FirstKissStory.com to read real-life stories from women who chose to wait for physical intimacy until marriage.  First Kiss Story is not about whether you’ve ever kissed before.  Instead, the first kiss points to the first intimate moment shared within the safety of a marriage covenant.  It is a symbol of unity, devotion, and God’s redemptive design.  And that’s what Waiting Until Marriage is all about!

   18 | Are You a Woman Wounded by Past Unhealthy Relationships? 3 Steps to Praying Wisely for Your Future Husband

   If you’ve been wounded by unhealthy relationships in the past, you may be wondering how to avoid repeating those same patterns in your next relationship. How can you pray wisely for your future husband, and what can God do in you while you wait? In this episode, we talk about 3 ways to pray wisely for your future husband: Pray for his character, not simply for a relationship. Look beyond chemistry and companionship and pray for a man whose relationship with God and whose character reflect the kind of husband you want to build a marriage with. Pray for discernment to recognize what you couldn’t recognize before. Past relationships can teach us that what someone presents isn’t always the whole story. Learn why information isn’t the same as discernment and why we need God’s wisdom in relationships. Pray for God to prepare you, not just your future husband. Your waiting can be a season of healing, growing closer to Jesus, and becoming prepared for a healthy, God-centered marriage. I’ll also share stories from my own journey, including one dating experience from the pre-online-dating era and the surprising story of how I met my husband and discovered that God had been preparing me long before I realized it. If you’ve experienced heartbreak, unhealthy relationships, or fear of repeating past mistakes, this episode will encourage you to bring your future relationships to God and trust Him with both the man you may one day marry and the woman you are becoming right now. ------------------------- “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14) “We love, because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19) ------------------------- Visit FirstKissStory.com to read real-life testimonies from women who were wounded by past relationships and learned how to pray wisely for their future husband.  First Kiss Story is not about whether you’ve ever kissed before.  Instead, the first kiss points to the first intimate moment shared within the safety of a marriage covenant.  It is a symbol of unity, devotion, and God’s redemptive design.  And that’s what Waiting Until Marriage is all about!
