I often hear about stories of individuals who fall for each other, enter into a physical relationship, get married or have a child and then things begin to come unglued. “It just seems like they turned into a completely different person,” is the most common phrase that I hear.
The physical side of the relationship often clouds the vision of what that individual is really like. When I made the decision not to have sex until marriage it was a tough one…trust me. However, the benefit of getting to know the person for who they were has saved me from so many heartaches.
I went for six years without a steady girlfriend. Did I go on dates? Sure, but the point I am trying to make is that I was not jumping in and out of relationships. This time alone gave me the opportunity to find out who Steven was and the type of girl that I desired. Was I lonely? At times however, the process was well worth it.
Will abstinence save alone save you from making a poor choice in marriage? No, but it will keep your eyes open longer so that you do not marry a set a legs but a woman who will help you fulfill the divine purpose that God has given you.
