My boyfriend wont sleep with me anymore!?

Before I start let me be fair and say that I'm still legally married and although my divorce should be final next month my boyfriend has always been a little uncomffy about sleeping with me and staying all night. Now, me and this guy have been seeing each other exclusively for a year now. I'm head over heals in love and he likes me a lot "his words" he's always been slow moving with our relationship one step forward and three steps back and so on and because of me still being married I allowed it to progress slow. But what he told me last week has me thrown. He told me that he wanted to start doing better and get right by God. He still wanted to see me and date me but he would no longer sleep with me because pre marital sex is wrong in the eyes of God. Someone please help me, I love this man and I'm more then willing to commit to only him but if he will only sleep with me when and if were married what am I gonna do. I'm not sure if I ever want to get married again and I can't go for years with out getting to make love with him. I'm feeling backed into a corner. I do believe in god and I pray but I'm not religious and I don't think there is anything wrong with two committed ppl having sex!! The fact that he's even talking marriage to me is a big sign that he really does want me in his life because according to himself and his family the idea of marriage with his exes made him run faster than a startled rabbit... And no I know he's not messing around or wants someone else he wants me but by him taking away something as important as sex he's taking away one of our most special times together. He's 37 and I'm 29 if that's at all important. And before you ask yes if he's serious about this then I will respect him and not try to seduce him, but how do I make him see that I feel disrespected and hurt that he can so easly turn me away after a year of unbeliveable love making. I want him! but I don't think I can go 2 or 3 years without sex..
