A couple are waiting until marriage to kiss – to "honour" each other and create a "deeper connection".
Rebekah Hurford, 31, and her partner, Kirk Peter, 32, decided to wait until they tie the knot to have sex or make out properly.
The pair do share a peck and hug but put boundaries in place to ensure they don’t cross the line and never spend the night together.

00:00We decided not to like make out until marriage.
00:03We still may do a little peck, but we don't make out.
00:11My name is Kirk.
00:12And my name is Rebecca.
00:13I live in New York City, he lives in Connecticut.
00:15We had a video go viral on Instagram about how we're doing our relationship.
00:20We met through church.
00:22You know, I live in Connecticut and our church is in Brooklyn,
00:25in New York, which is about an hour.
00:27One Sunday, I just saw Rebecca in a different way.
00:31And I was just like, not like we hadn't talked before.
00:33I mean, we've done like creative projects and stuff before.
00:35I mean, I just asked her out.
00:37And luckily, she said, yeah.
00:39And now we're here a year, a year later, a year or so later, almost.
00:43We decided not to like make out until marriage.
00:46We still may do a little peck, but we don't make out.
00:50We decided not to like sleep together, obviously, until marriage.
00:53And then he lives, right now he lives an hour and a half away.
00:56Yeah.
00:57He needs to drive from into the city.
01:00And he like, he doesn't sleep over.
01:02He goes back.
01:02I told Rebecca early on, like, I really want this to work out.
01:05So I want to honor you in the way that we do this relationship.
01:09And I don't want to like, I don't want you to think that I'm like, just after your body.
01:14I actually told her, I was like, look, I don't even want to kiss you until we get married.
01:18We were just like, yeah, like, actually, we can hold some boundaries and respect
01:22and honor each other in that way.
01:24It's definitely hard, but hard things are worth it.
01:27Like, there's just a deeper trust that we have for each other.
01:30And actually, too, the cool thing is, too, a lot of people see that and they're like,
01:33man, I really want, like, I want that.
01:35I think on the other hand, though, it's also maybe like pushing us to like get married
01:39quicker, which is something we both want to accomplish.
01:41We've been talking about this.
01:42I'm excited.
01:43Don't get me wrong.
01:45I am excited, which is like she said before,
01:48helping us kind of push through to get to get to that point, to get where we're married.
01:53And we're pretty sure of each other.
01:55And I'm excited.
01:56I'm definitely excited when he doesn't have to drive.
01:59Oh, my gosh.
02:00Yes.
02:01We don't have to commute anymore.
02:03And yeah, we can live our lives together.
02:18Yeah.
