I have a lot of friends that have made the mistake of having sex before marriage, aside from the physical consequences, the emotional pain they went through was more than I'd ever want to put myself through. I know that God has one special person for me, and that man will be everything I want and everything God wants for me. My decision to remain abstinent from sex until marriage is based on my respect for God, my family, my future husband and myself.

For 23 years I have chosen to wait for the one that I will someday not only give my body to but my heart and my soul. I believe that sex involves more that just a biological act to meet a biological need. Sex involves more than hormones that I cannot control. It involves more than just my body it involves my heart and soul. Sex has a tremendous ability to bond, it is that apart of me that I will someday give to my husband and it’s that apart of my husband that he will give to me and no one else that will make our relationship unique, unlike any other that we have ever had and will ever have. And I believe that one day I will stand before my husband and God, pledging not only my love with shallow words but with the way I have waited and now stand with no regrets, ready for our bodies, hearts, and souls intertwined as one.

Well, the reason I am waiting until I get married to have sex is simply, I believe it should be beautiful, something two people share, love, mind, body and soul it’s not something you have to do to be cool, there are a lot of things people don’t know about, like emotion damage and physical damage, I think its important for people to know what there getting themselves into.
All the love and light,
Tara

Sex. a beautiful, powerful bonding element within the confines of marriage, something not only to bring two people together, but a hold that will hopefully last forever. in today's society, sex is exploited, and made into something one can do over a cup of tea. there are so many consequences that come about from having sex outside of marriage, not only is there the likely possibility of a life-long disease, or a child, but also a part of you is with that person, a promise, and it's one less part of you that you will be able to give to the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. imagine spending the rest of your life not having to worry about meeting a standard set by others, instead of enjoying it as a gift from God. instead of why wait... the real question behind the issue is why not wait? is it really all that worth it to sleep with someone and risk your future? i think not... and by choosing abstinence, i can have a fulfilling marriage, in every way possible.

In my opinion abstinence is the best choice. To me, sex before marriage is not worth the emotional stress, heartbreak and losing my self-respect that comes along with sex. Sex has a price tag, what is it worth to you?

I am choosing to not have sex until I'm married because I don't want to risk my future with the possible consequences that could happen from having sex. I don't need emotional baggage attached with me when I'm going on my honeymoon either."Zenia - 18
I practice sexual abstinence because I am not ready to handle the responsibilities that come along with sex, and because of my religion. If I choose to have sex now, there is a risk of pregnancy, STDs, and emotional hurt. However, if I wait until I'm married, sex will be better because marriage is a lifetime commitment.

I am abstinent because I am focusing on my future. And I know for a fact that I am not mentally, emotionally, and financially ready to handle the consequences.
