DEAR CHRISTINE: Don’t know if I should marry her

Dear Christine,
ALLOW ME SPACE in your column to discuss a matter I am dealing with.
I am a 37-year-old man who has never been sexually active. I know that some people would want to snigger at this and wonder what on earth is wrong with me.
Let me point out that absolutely nothing is wrong with me. I was brought up by strict parents and I came up more concerned about my spiritual life than my physical life. I studied hard, secured a good job and kept in tune with my spiritual convictions.
While I have never had sex, I have had two close female friends over the years who understood my decision not to have sex outside of marriage. Neither of these women was keen on getting married, so we parted and maintained our friendship over the years.
