Wait For Marriage welcomes Chris.  He is offering his thoughts on sex, marriage and the opportunity to experience better chances at a successful, happy marriage. He has some insights too, based on real life experience. When he talks about the costs of sex outside of marriage and the joys of waiting, he knows. In a culture that seemingly supports the wanton disregard for marriage and saving sex, Chris is an awesome encouragement to his generation.   ~Karen

Socially Acceptable Sex                                                   

Sex is everywhere from movies, magazines, the internet…even to children’s cartoons. Younger people are encouraged to experiment with sex whenever and pretty much wherever and in this day of great compromise, it has even become socially acceptable. Unfortunately the values of sex have been compromised and demoralized. Many individuals do not realize the immense emotional connection that is attached to sex. Sex is far more than a physical experience; it also has a huge impact on a person’s emotions, thoughts, and social life. Waiting to have sex until marriage is getting harder to find and the repercussions are often displayed with statistics of higher divorce rates and lower sexual satisfaction. Encouraging people to experiment with sexual activities or partners can also lead to a much higher risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease (STD) and unplanned pregnancies.

            Saving sex for marriage is difficult, but there is so much reward in it. Having the self-control to save yourself for the love of your life is going to bring happiness, stability, and soundness into your relationship. Although you may be pressured by the social acceptance of experimenting with sex, saving yourself will also have a vast affect on both you and your spouses’ emotions when that person realizes you were waiting for them.
