Bakhe Dlamini, a relationship expert from South Africa, met his wife Nokwanda in high school in 2001.

They chose to focus on meaningful connections rather than physical pleasure throughout their 10-year dating period.

On their wedding day, they shared their first kiss, as they had abstained from any sexual activity before marriage.

Their love story inspires others to prioritize emotional connection and respect in relationships.

Bakhe and Nokwanda’s journey exemplifies the strength of true love.

In his words;

“So my wife & I never kissed during 10 years of dating. We met at high school, 2001, were prom mates following year, and we didn’t kiss. First time I kissed her was when the priest said, “You may kiss the bride”, 10 years later, 2 July 2011. Both of us were virgins too.

I had to be clear with her from word go that I respected her body, preferred we don’t even kiss. I believed in being a gentleman, not rushing a woman. I also mentioned to her that I prefer we don’t even kiss because I knew that the moment we kissed, we’d fall into the trap of sex before marriage.

I wanted us to get to marriage pure. We also believed in the biblical principle of “no sex before marriage”. So to those dating and believe in no sex before marriage, it’s possible. Cheers.”
