While I was at youth camp this past year, I was talking to these two girls in my room. My friend was also there with me and we were bored. So we were chatting with these girls, who we didn’t really know that well. One of these girls was receiving text messages from some guy who was mad that she was in Florida with her boyfriend. So we started talking about boyfriends. They asked me and my friend if we had ever had a boyfriend to which we both said no. The girls both expressed that they were sorry about this. Personally, I’m not. Then they started talking about first kisses. One of them asked how old we were when we got our first kiss. We both said we had not had a first kiss and, since this was too much, I proceeded to tell them that I was going to save my first kiss for my wedding day. The opposition I got was astounding. “Well you have to kiss them for the rehearsal!” “They won’t marry you if you won’t kiss them before the wedding.” and “How will you know they’re a good kisser?” I told them that no one actually has to kiss during the wedding reheasal, if they refuse to marry me because I won’t kiss them then I won’t marry them, and what are you going to say? “Sorry. I thought you would be a good kisser but you’re not. Let’s get a divorce!” Come on! No one would say that! Later, my dad was relating this story to his group of guys in Sunday school. Reportedly, their statement was “Guys aren’t like that!” Anyways, if they really will not marry you because you won’t kiss them, then they’re marrying you for the wrong reasons. What is the wrong reason? Your body. They’re obviously not marrying you for your personality or beliefs, just for your body. Newsflash! One day girls, you will be a wrinkly old lady, and if your face is the only thing that kept you guys together, well let’s just say maybe you won’t be together forever. And that, my friends, is the Must Kiss Myth.
