'I was 19 when he proposed on our first date, but we kept it quiet for about six months.'
"I was 21 and my husband was 23 when we got married. We grew up extremely conservative and were pressured by purity culture to wait until marriage to have sex. We dated for three years before getting married, and while we were still young, we felt like adults and couldn't imagine waiting any longer. We've now been married for six years, and while it largely worked for us, I wouldn't recommend it.
"The negative effects of purity culture on our sex life are still an issue, and while we've had over a year of therapy, there are some things that could only have been solved by understanding each other's sexual needs and desires earlier on in the relationship.""In my culture, getting married at a young age is accepted and expected. We’re all about starting families so you can have gratification in your lifetime from seeing them grown and married.
