They can start having sex as soon or as far away from their wedding night as they feel comfortable with.
However, you do have to consummate your marriage if you are Catholic. The Church also encourages the practice of natural family planning, so if you are trying to avoid pregnancy that might mean abstaining from relations until a later date from your wedding, until you are infertile or at certain periods in your marriage, but if you don’t consummate your marriage (as a Catholic) that can be grounds for an annulment from my understanding.
Ok but what about Mary and Joseph though? They never consummated their marriage. Why is that a bad thing? Seriously, someone tell me
Because Mary was a virgin dedicated to God’s service, who was then chosen to be His mother, and Joseph was to be her guardian. Furthermore, the Holy Family’s purpose was to raise up the Savior before He would start His ministry, not emulate marriage for other people to copy. They had a valid marriage, but it was a special exception, considering they were raising God in the flesh Himself.
Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as
the Heart of God the Father. He says: “Children, you can trust in My
Divine Will, only if you first love Me. Every virtue is built upon the
foundation of love. Trust is the support of every virtue – patience,
perseverance, humility to name a few.”
“Holy Love protects you when Satan attacks the very core of your
personal holiness, which is the perfection of your virtuous life. Trust
is the barometer of your love of Me and My Divine Will. You may not
understand My Divine Will which fills every present moment, but trust in
Me helps you to persevere, as events play out. Every challenge in life
is made easier if you first love Me and then trust Me.”
“I am asking you to make of your hearts a spiritual ‘ark’ prepared
to weather any storm of life and every test of your love for Me. Trust
Me as Noah trusted Me when I asked him to build the ark. The spiritual
ark of your hearts will be buffeted by the winds of controversy and
rained upon by guile and deceit. But, if your trust in Me is
well-grounded in Holy Love, your hearts will withstand any storm. I am
protecting a well-built ark in the depths of your hearts.”
Read Psalm 1:1-6+
The Two Ways
Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree
planted by streams of water,
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
for the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.

Really ironic watching the same people screaming “believe women“ a few days ago jump on that woman for calling the cops on a nine-year-old black kid with a false sexual assault charge. Wow it’s almost like… Women can lie about sexual assault.
The people who think it’s wrong to restrict the general public’s right to carry guns are the scared ones? The ones who trust most people to legally own and use guns responsibly?
Private businesses have the right to deny service to anyone and do whatever they want, except when it direcrly affects me.
OP didn’t say businesses shouldn’t have the right, they just said they wouldn’t patronize any business that did. If I walk into a joint and they start randomly insulting my parentage, genitalia, and genetic viability, I’m not going back there again, even though they’re just exercising their free speech rights.
This may be hard for you to grasp, but many people think people should have the right to do things the first group considers wrong.
Was at a festival this past spring and saw a group of people open carry and they all had shirts on with “you’re welcome for the protection.” There were cops at the event and I really wouldn’t want grandma who couldn’t come close to the corn hole boards taking any life or death shots.
Okay. Were any of the people in question grandmas, or are you just making that up?
People who want you disarmed don’t want you to be safe.
They want you to be defenseless.
“oh you silly geese, there aren’t going to be any mass shootings in that restaurant.”
You know who else thought that? The people who went to Luby’s in Killeen, TX on October 16, 1991. The people who went to Twin Peaks in Waco, TX on May 17, 2015. The people who went to McDonald’s in San Ysidro, CA on July 18, 1984. And the tournament gamers at Chicago Pizza in Jacksonville, FL less than 2 months ago.
FOH with that bullshit.
Or Waffle House, when they banned guns and explicitly stood by that policy even after incidents involving criminals and guns in their joints, even though someone armed nearby intervened on more than one of those occasions.
Getting shot at Waffle House is practically a meme now. I personally know at least one person who was involved in a shooting at one of our local Waffle Houses I’m sure there are more.
Janice firmly believed that Jill was controlling her son. She loved Benjamin to the point of blindness.
Beau has almost zero emotional intelligence, so he assumed that Benjamin hung around Jill for sex. It made sense, from a logical perspective–Jill is Ben’s type, and they were living together.
For the brief amount of time that Henry had to think about it, he was the closest to the truth: Benjamin was acting out on long-time frustrations and unhappiness. Henry never knew the depths of Benjamin’s inner turmoil, but he knew that his youngest child had never quite fit in with the rest of the family. That said, Benjamin’s departure wasn’t a surprise, but his joining a superhero team was. Even Henry didn’t expect Benjamin to be so bold.
Only Eleanor sensed that Benjamin was falling in love with Jill, and while she wasn’t a fan of superheroes, she acknowledged Benjamin’s autonomy in the situation. At the end of the day, Eleanor just wants her baby brother to be happy.
