Tamera Mowry has been on cloud 9 ever since her wedding last year to Adam Housley, and it was all thanks to her relationship with God.
The 34-year-old actress recently did an interview with Ebony Magazine, where she revealed that she and Adam made the decision to be celibate before they were married, as well as not live together before their nuptials either.
She told the magazine:
"We wanted to make sure that this relationship was what God wanted for our lives. [In order to know] if we are meant to be together, we said, ‘It’s got to be God’s way and not our way.’ We didn’t want to half-step anything [or have clouded judgment]. So our right way was the way we felt God wanted us to do it, which was being celibate. We said to God, ‘This is who we are, I know you take us as we are, our faults, our fears, our joys, our hope as a couple and have your way."
She shared why she felt like she shouldn't live with Adam until after they wed:
“[Living together] makes it harder for you. Have people around you to keep you accountable! Surround yourself with people who support your decision, because they’re only going to root you on. Make that covenant with God and with each other and just let go. God is going to see you through the difficult times. Whenever you’re feeling discouraged just pray together. Like I said, it’s not going to be a perfect journey, but you just have to keep God the center of your relationship.”
It sounds like Tamera earned everything good that she has the right way for her! While it may not work for everyone, Tamera stuck to her own morals throughout her engagement.

Also: travelling with someone.
i could neeeevvveeerrr
but congrats to them, hope it works out etc w/e
I've always found their story very sweet and encouraging.
I'm pretty pro-arranged marriage (probably moreso than most our age) in the sense that I think that staying with someone for your whole life is stupid as it is, but if you're wanting to get married then basing it on a friendship and things other than sex is far more likely to form a solid foundation. But arranged marriages are pretty shit for women's sexuality.
COMMENCE EYE-ROLLING.
people hate it when women who have sex with any and everyone are labeled sluts, but if a woman dares says she is proud to be celibate, here come the, "she think's she's better than us!" comments.
hypocrites...
L M A O
i was like at this point why are you even suffering just stick your dick in her vag and get it over with if you think your god is going to judge you for putting your penis in her vagina but not her ass
that doesn't make any sense lol moving in w/ someone is usually a sign of commitment between 2 ppl, not the opposite...maybe that old guy was senile. i usually just assume that when i encounter old ppl cause they're awful haha
i think it's the generation
why buy the cow when you get the milk for free
and so on
my older brother and his long time g/f can't sleep in same bed when they come visit. they always just get a hotel room, but it's not so they can have sex, it's more so they can just have some space and quiet time on their own. they don't even sleep in the same bedroom at home because my brother snores and they get up at different times so that do whatever it is they do whenever it is they do it but -sleep- alone / whatevs
kind of OT but i just heard the other half of that saying yesterday, "why take home the whole pig when you just want a little sausage?"
back on topic, my family all think the same way, and happily for me i've been living with my b/f unmarried for like seven years lol
