Waiting On Sex Before Marriage

In this day and age, you would be realistically able to date a guy/girl who didn't want to have sex before you were both married. Ideally, the fairy tale is that on the night of your wedding, you would consummate the union with an all night porkfest. But those traditional ways seems to no longer be practiced anymore.

I have no friends who are a "couple" that aren't currently having sex. Is it impossible to wait? How important is making sure you are sexually compatible with your partner before you both decide to get married? Or perhaps even more realistically, can you control your sexual desires and wait it out?

Can you wait on sex until marriage?
