Because your future consists of more than simply rolling the dice and risking your life for a moment of satisfaction. Remember that your entire future – and the future of your mate – is shaped, extended or limited by the choices you make today. Choose carefully—choose the best: abstinence until marriage.
|
Because you want the commitment of a wedding vow and a ring on your finger to assure you of the security, trust and love that a husband and wife share as you forge a new life together.
Because sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are extremely common among sexually active young people. Condoms cannot protect you completely from pregnancy and they offer minimal protection against many STDs.
Because you want to live free of any psychological baggage that premarital sex can burden you with, such as guilt, regret, emotional trauma and numerous health risks. Sex outside marriage comes with a lot of strings attached.
Because you honor other people’s future husband or wife, and you also want them to honor your future mate.
Because you know that raising children with both father and mother is important for children’s well-being.
Because abstinence is 100 percent effective against any unplanned pregnancies and STDs, unlike condoms that cannot make 100 percent guarantees.
