Should i save myself for marriage

If you are unconvinced, let me share a few more truths with you. Psychologists Galena K. Rhoades and Scott M. The man or woman we wish to be in the future, the kind of husband or wife we want to be, must begin now. Saving sex for marraige is a sacrifice. Chastity does not tell us that our desires or attractions or sex itself is bad or dirty and it definitely does not tell us to supress or hide our desires. So yes, if you decide to practice chastity in this way by shoving all of your desires deep deep down into the abyss and think sex itself is bad you may end up actually exploding.

Maybe at this point every argument against chastity is running through your mind. To which I would rebuttal by saying — human beings are not cars or any inanimate object. I would invite you to stop comparing intellectual creatures with soulless things. Sex, although a good and important part of marraige is not the MOST important part. Sex will not care for you when you are sick, sex will not stay up all night with the crying baby and sex will not hold a marraige together in hard times.

Self-sacrificial love will, a man or woman who knows how to love will. You deserve to live a life fully alive, not living enslaved to our desires or using each other for our own personal satisfaction and pleasure. You are worthy of being waited for. You deserve someone who will love you the hardest way possible, sacrificing for you and doing what is best for you without wavering. This is what creates strong relationships, this is what creates marriages that last a lifetime. So, if you want to live a life filled with the love you deserve, I invite you to commit or recommit yourself to your future spouse by saving sex for marraige and save your relationship before it even starts.

Now let me ask you a question: If a man is not able to control his desires and lives a life enslaved to his passions while he is single—sleeping around, watching porn—do you think he will be able to conquer those temptations within marriage?

So I want to ask you some questions: What kind of life do you want to live? Believe it or not, there are men that also want to wait until marriage before having sex. Be selective about where and how you met men. The likelihood of finding a man who shares your values are highly unlikely on sex apps and even on some dating apps. Given this, be careful where you meet people and listen carefully to their values and expectations. The wait of meeting the right person is worth holding on to your values.
