Abstinence

ABSTINENCE

Now of course we have all heard that it is best for us to abstain from sexual intercourse until marriage. I know, many laugh at the subject of abstinence…however; the issues that arise because of pre-marital sex is no laughing matter. This is not a budding crisis but one that has been in existence for decades. Here are just a few alarming statistics:

82% of teens desire to have one marriage partner for life. Less than 12% usually do.
63% percent of teens who have had sexual intercourse said they wish they had waited.
87% of teens do not think it is embarrassing for teens to say that they are virgins.
Government spends $12 to promote contraceptives for every $1 spent on abstinence.

We’re talking; unwanted pregnancies, STD’s, as well as the drama that goes along with relationships that are not founded upon a lasting commitment. There are too many to list so I simply say this.

By abstaining, you can spare yourself of the many stresses that come from pre-marital sexual activity.

And trust me, your body, your partner and most importantly you will be pleased to know that by your choice of abstinence, (you have not only minimized the risk factors of your life but also), you have made sacred the union with your life partner simply by the act of applying patience.

So please abstain until your married, it’s the safest, most productive and intelligent course of love to take.

Sincerely,

Brick Casey
