A Reason to Wait for Marriage
Abstinence receives many mixed opinions. A lot of people proclaim it to be the best and most important decision of a person’s life, and many others view it as something that doesn’t ever even need to be mentioned. But I want to tell you that choosing to be sexually abstinent from this point forward until you get married someday can be one of the most rewarding decisions you ever make.
If you choose sexual abstinence you are not declaring yourself to be a higher breed of human, nor are you saying that you are better than anybody else. But what you are doing is taking a stand by making the statement that you know you are worth waiting for. You don’t want to get tied up with physical risks, you don’t want to risk having a child before you are ready to care for it, and you want to be able to save yourself for that one person that you choose to be with for the rest of your life.
I know that I find these things listed above as very important. I am still young and I don’t want to risk getting a disease that could potentially make the rest of my life less enjoyable; I don’ t want to have a child yet, because I know I am not ready emotionally or financially to care for a child; and I do want to wait and save myself for marriage because I know that the person that I do marry will mean far more to me than any other person whom I could potentially sleep with right now.
I hope that this helps you see that you too are worth waiting for. Whether you are a young man, or a young woman; this is one of the most important decisions you could ever make. The results of your choices now can and will throughout your life.
