How important is it for you & your woman to have intimate relations before marriage? Is it a natural step in your relationship?

I'm going to ask you to define "intimate" because in another thread one person posted:

So in that context intimate means closeness but quite often people take it to mean sexual relations/intercourse.
In the sexual context,
I say go with your feelings and how close you are with that person and how well you trust them. At this time I won't discuss the religious and/or moral implications as that is an individual thing. I consider myself religious but obviously not perfect.
In the context of "closeness",
This is of the most importance to me. I have to have love/feelings for the person i'm going to marry and it has to be beyond mere physical attraction as looks fade with time/age. I need to have a wife that is also my best friend, confidant, etc...

I think my friend you really have to go with your feelings.If you are talking sexual closeness i think you and your gf will know when the time is right.

Rather good answeres.
An issue for ou, could be your religion. If you worry about her, I would say, a majority of russian are not religious and have intercourse before marriage, (from what i can understand).
They can perhaps hestitate to show feeligs in public, but this I also believe is changing from my my visits.
