Many people look at me and wonder what I gain by waiting to have sex when I get married verses gratifying the desires of my flesh. I can only say that the benefits of the wait are multiple and significant to me.
- First, I know that it pleases God for me to stay sexually pure. My number one priority in life is to please God in all I do. This is the greatest benefit for me.
- I do not have to go into a panic every time my period is late. There is nothing worse than the panic that sets in at the thought of being pregnant outside of marriage for most women. Why go through all that drama?
- I do not have to worry about birth control and the hustle that comes with that. For some it's the pill they can never remember to take daily, for others it's the shot that made them balloon to twice their original size, for others it's convincing the guy to just put on the darn condom... what? Too much drama!
- I do not have to worry about sexually transmitted diseases. What bliss!!
- Then there is the emotional trauma of sleeping with a guy who you are in love with only to find out that his goal the whole time he was being so romantic and wonderful was to "hit it!" How now?
- After going through the "love and dump" cycle several times, the bitterness sets in. Women get so jaded that they come to the conclusion that all men are lying, cheating dogs and there are no good men out there. Do I really want to become that woman? NO!
- Before long she starts sleeping with men just to scratch the itch. Sex is brought down from God's ultimate expression of love and affection between a man and his wife to... nothing. This was not God's plan. He wanted sex to be enjoyed within marriage and held in honor.
These are just but a few of my reasons to wait and honestly, when I look at the world we are living in today I get more reasons everyday.
