B) As for the virgin thing, there has been a sky rocket of virgins in the last two decades. There have been more virgins that have walked into these past 5 years, than there have been in the accumulation of 20 (or so, I'm going by memory here.)
a bit rich comin from u. not every catholic marries for love, and besides, isnt the love of jesus and god supposed to be higher than the love for the spouse u have even if u are married as virgins n u stay together forever? wudnt THAT count as the worst type of cheating, since ur sharin and givin n feelin more for god than ur husband/wife? while the non virgin who marries another non virgin loves him/her more than the whole world combined{yes, more than god or any other concept}
sex before marriage
while having sex is a blessing at any tiime. Take it from someone who has been devorced three times the more sexual partners you have before you find the right one is. problematic to a marriage there will always be the question of dought. Marriage before sex is the best way to go she or he will have no doubts that you truely love them. your partner will want to be your only the first in every aspect of your life. It creates a sence of trust if you are looking for a lasting marriage and we all should be looking for that then please for the sake of your love wait you will not regret this decision. Do not rush what will come naturaly in time do not settle for a fleeing moment instead settle for the lasting one be true to your love and they will be true to you. I know its hard but it is well worth the wait. I have nothing but trouble now becouse there have been others in my life and it takes alot of work just to get one off the ground wheather you are religios or not this is sound advise to anyone

Is it really a sin to have sex outside of marriage?
F*cking is great. Its only when you do it for spite is when it can be a problem.
