The entertaining video below
will give you
AMAZING understanding
about WHY
you should wait for sex until marriage!
The Punch line is 9 minutes 28 seconds through 14 minutes.
This video especially helps
females to understand men and how to be blessed
and gives
males the information
to a happy marriage for themselves
and for mentoring their children.
Some things to consider
from a woman's perspective ...
Question:
Shouldn't you find out before marriage if you are sexually compatible?
No
I (Beth McLendon) edited a book for a marriage counselor several years ago.
He revealed that many people he counsels had
good sex - even great sex
before they were married
but not after (even right after)
they were married.
(Why? Various reasons. See below.)
Sex before marriage
does not always
relate to
sex after marriage.
Also,
it is not uncommon for a man
to have sex "once" with a woman and his desire
for her will just disappear.
He can't even help it.
Not doing things God's way can have
consequences.
So don't listen to the lie that
you have to "check out" sex before marriage.

10 Reasons
why this man doesn't have sex before marriage.
Disclaimer - As to his last point - I strongly urge people not to get emotionally close to a person of the opposite sex that you are not dating and considering that person a good marriage partner.
And if you are dating someone - break it off if you come to believe that person would not make a good spouse and parent for your children. (Don't just continue the relationship to keep from being lonely.)
Why? Because you cannot CHOOSE who you fall in love with. Becoming emotionally close can lead to falling in love even if you don't want to.
I have seen friends spend time together and all of a sudden, one of them finds emotions starting to snowball. It ends up one of them is in love and ends up pinning away for years - longing for a person who isn't interested in them.
AND I have seen several situations where....... two people became close friends and then ended up being married (but only one is really in love and thinks the other would make a great spouse). The one who only got married because of loneliness caused himself to be miserable and caused misery for his spouse.
I have seen this played out over and over. Be wise.

The Pros and Cons of Purity
Sex blinds you to flaws in a person
sooo...
Sex makes you Stupid!
God designed it that way
to bless you in marriage...
The following 2 couples are married.
They remained pure during their dating.
Listening to them is
inspiring and encouraging.
Paul and Morgan are the two on the right.
But the intro is confusing about who is who.
Shouldn't we have sex before marriage
to check
to see if we are sexually compatible?
Why is sexual sin
different from other sins?
Everybody is doing it - Right?
Wrong

Consider this Purity Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
I desire to be pure.
I want to make right choices.
Help me to create good boundaries.
Remind me to stay alert and dedicated.
I pray these things in Jesus' name.
Amen
Being Pure during Dating.
Intimacy after waiting.
(only one was a virgin during dating)
I am not recommending the book. I haven't seen it.
In men,
Sex before marriage promotes a selfish kind of love and
waiting till marriage promotes a unselfish kind of love.
Boundaries in Dating
This is from the couple in the video above
We also share how the goal of a courtship isn't just to put boundaries in, and then focus on completing them.
Boundaries are prayerfully put in place because we know that our flesh is weak, and we truly desire to honor God in our relationships.
The goal of a courtship is to continue to pursue godliness, as we grow alongside one another, preparing for marriage.
The next video helps us with
protecting our
Boundaries.
This couple wants to help you:
Hold onto your Purity.
Putting God first

"Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee."

The POWER of a
Celibate Man
I was reading comments under a Youtube video about purity.
Here is one comment from a man:
Man here. I hate that phrase:
"you gotta take the car for a test drive."
Yeah, I want to be compared to a hunk of metal.
If you need sex to decide
if I'm worthy of you,
then you don't really value me after all.
One woman said:
Sexclusivity is a way for us ladies to keep our power.
My self worth, self esteem and integrity are more important than a stranger's feelings.
And if he puts pressure or bullies or tries to
intimidate me ... if he refuses to accept that
no means no and
I need him to be patient and wait "....
Then it's goodbye!!!!
In several comments, some people were
saying that they were living with
their boyfriend / girl friend but not having sex.
I say - even IF (big If) you are doing that, you are
going against the Bible.
You are also stirring up temptation.
God says,
"Abstain from even the appearance of evil."
1 Thessalonians 5:21
"Winking at sin leads to sorrow.
Bold reproof leads to peace."
Proverbs 13:13 TLB
God says "Don't do it."
AND .....Your neighbors will see you living together, and they will naturally assume things.
AND we can easily see how easily they could fall into temptation......SO....Don't do it!

REASONS
Some reasons given by counselors
WHY
Sex before marriage
and
Sex after marriage are not always related.
Below is a sample of
reasons
why sex before marriage with someone
can be great
and sex after marriage to be not so great.
1) Some people (especially men) get hooked on the naughtiness of sex before marriage with their girl friend and find they can't get interested in sex with the same girl after marriage.
2) Some people (especially men) feel no guilt at having sex before marriage but after marriage they feel they took advantage of their wife by having sex before marriage and now they feel so guilty that they avoid sex with their wife.
3) MANY people (especially women) feel sad, angry, guilty, etc. on their wedding night because they had sex before marriage. So their first sex as man and wife is full of negative emotions.
4) Some people become jealous prone during their marriage because they know how easily their spouse gave in to sexual activity with them.
Note: If you have sex before marriage, the only way to begin to cleanse your conscience and renew your mind - is to repent to God and make a new commitment to sexual purity.

Great help with - Getting free of Porn
Let us walk properly as in the daytime,
not in orgies and drunkenness,

not in quarreling and jealousy.

"It is hard to rebuke the sins that we sleep with."
