As much as physical intimacy is important, there's always a reward for waiting. Inspired by YourTango, here are three things to consider before having sex with your partner.

2. Are you satisfied with where you both stand: Emotional security is constantly overlooked by most people and if you can't honestly give a 'yes' to if you are both secure then you should reconsider the sex idea.
3. Do you both share the same ideas and values: It's not how he feels about you, it's how you feel about him. You should know how he fits into your life in terms of certain values such as work-life balance, religion, lifestyle, parenting style, religion, money management.
