Can you kiss your girlfriend? And who else can can answer this question besides a married person who does not have a girlfriend? I just have a wife and then two gay guys.
So I think we are probably the best people to answer this question of can you kiss your girlfriend?
which is still more relationships than most people who are answering this question on Catholic YouTube.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
Whenever I explain Catholicism to my boyfriend, who is not super deep into Catholicism, nor had a super religious phase, he'll sometimes ask questions as a joke like, what is it, a sin to pull out in Catholicism? And then Colin and I go, mm-hmm.
And then he realizes that all of his sarcastic comments do tend to come true under a very traditional Catholic framework.
And added to the list is no premarital kissing, which I feel like a lot of mainstream Catholics are doing a lot more than kissing before marriage.
All of the conservative ones who are waiting until marriage, very few succeed at waiting to have sex until marriage.
Even fewer are actually waiting to have sex until marriage.
And of that, there's almost no one, I think, that successfully avoids kissing before marriage.
And so that's the question today.
Can you kiss your girlfriend before marriage? Which is sort of funny.
A, it would seem that you can kiss your boyfriend before marriage.
Maybe.
If you look in the comment section, so every single one of the Catholics making funny reels about this, they all say like greet each other with a holy kiss.
Kiss your homies.
It's very homoerotic
to say, no, you can't kiss your girlfriend.
But also, let's kiss the homies goodnight.
Totally a joke.
