IM SIZZLING 4 CHRIST ... are you?

I think that staying pure until marriage is the way to go...when you have sex before being married you run many risks...such as STD's...getting pregnant...hurting the other person and so on....but if you and your partner are pure till marriage then you know that you dont run the risk of spreading a disease....and if your pregnant then you have the other persons support...its just more convinient....lol...But the main reason why one should stay pure until marriage is because it is Gods will for you to stay pure and to give yourself to the ONE he has for you!

hey............. stay true to God Don't have sex untill marage! holds a couple 2gether longer! and God says no bcuz he intended it to be his gift for married couples and thats all i need to say the rest is all over the bible!

I think its important to save your self for marriage because theres many consequences you can run into if you dont. I know someone who had sex for the first time and she got pregnant. So i say save your self!! No matter how much protection you use, anything can happen. You never know, you might be using protection but God might just want to show you a lesson, so you never know..only God knows!

I can tell you from experience that giving yourself away before marriage takes that gift from the one God intended it for and strips away a blessing. When you save yourself for marriage you have pure thoughts of your husband or wife and not thoughts of past relationships.

Daughter of the King!

Sex is the ultimate act/display of intamacy. God ordained it for a man and a woman in a state of marriage. Both individuals become as one flesh. Think about it this way, having a sexual relationship before marriage is like giving a part of you away. When you finally get married, part of you is missing. It makes it harder to give yourself fully to your spouse. I like what Lizzy said about keeping your thoughts pure for your spouse and not on past relationships.

'True worship is to be so personally and hopelessly in love with God, that the idea of a transfer of affection never even remotely exists.' - A. W. Tozer

You should absolutely save yourself until marriage. All of the rules that God gives to us are for a reason. He wants us to be safe and happy. I have a friend who has been with a few young men and it finally bit her in the butt. She caught an STD, chlamydia. She was fairly lucky, they caught it early and it was curable. It could have been much worse.

Hi, I'm Jenn

I may only be 14 but I know that I am going to wait until marrige. Several girls last year in the 8th grade at my school were already pregnet! I thought oh my gosh... I want more than that. To already be tied down by a child at 13 is just unimaginable. Also, my parents only got married because they found out my mom was pregnet with me. They are now divorced. It hurt me a lot too. I don't ever want to have to put my kid through that. Its getting hard to say no though. I have been tempted to before. And I know a lot of girls who are no longer virgins. so yeah... its special and I know it so I'm waiting

Psalms 62:2

I believe that abstinance is the only way to be before marriage. Sex is suppose to be between a man and his wife, not a boy and his girlfriend. I know many people who see having sex as a trophy. They brag and show off and are proud that they have slept with so many people. To me I see waiting until my wedding night as being the larger reward. It takes strength and faith to resist the temptations of the flesh, and therefore it is much more difficult to wait than to give up now. I look forward to my wedding night because I know that it will be special because it will be both of our first times. i don't want my first time to be in the backseat of some car worried that we are going to get caught. I'm saving myself for something special and because I know that it is what God has intended for everyone, wether they choose to follow his word or not.

Ps 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

To all you sweet young ladies - I beg you to wait! I got pregnant when I was 19. God blessed me with a wonderful son, and I have since re-dedicated myself to Christ, and my life now is great, but even though I married the father, our intimacy has suffered because of our mistakes. Even if you think he is "the one" WAIT!! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions - I would love to direct you if you need help.

I highly recommend reading "Every Young Woman's Battle" I wish I had read it when I was younger.

Bless you all, and I will pray for you!!
