As ideal as that might seem, this just isnt "little house on the prarie" anymore. Not to mention the whole marriage thing with over 50% divorce rate.... do we really WANT to encourage them to rush into marriage simply to allow them to finally have sex? I agree with the poster suggesting prolonged period of experimentation with foreplay. No rush, no pressure, no expectations. Makes it so much easier on both parties involved. To simply take the plunge into sex is hasty and uncomfortable.
