Hi Kitty. I consider myself a Christian but don't think like that about sex, etc. Maybe it was more the times they lived and being Methodist. Sorry, I don't know much about Methodists. I do know I have a slew of Christian friends, including our pastor, and none of us has a taboo or discrimination against sex, even before marriage. Anyway, I'm glad your grandparents were able to do what they did because in the 40's society the stigma would be huge. It was still pretty bad in the 70's. Times will continue to change and Christianity will evolve along with it. Thank you for the nice story. I'm eyeing up the other stories you have here in this article and can't wait to read them.
