That was about it, except that there was an underlying message that it was […]

We are the couple that sits super close to each other, holds hands a lot and isn’t ashamed to give a kiss goodbye. We are not gross or overly mushy or explicit but our teens know that there youth pastor and youth pastor wife love each other very much and from some of the responses I’ve heard when they’ve talked to us they know we have a happy and fulfilled martial sexual life. When we are the right kind of example I can easily say that purity is the right thing to do because God designed purity to allow you to have a relationship like me and my wife and this is designed on purpose and by design by God. We try to scare young people about sex to much. Instead of scaring them lets inform them of the beauty of sex God’s way. This will work so much better and the best way to teach it is by example.

Thanks for a great post! I think it is so important that parents understand that saying “Wait” or “Don’t” isn’t enough! Not only do we need to tell them why, we need to prove it to them! Why would a teen wait for sex in marriage if everything they have seen and heard about sex in marriage is that it is “boring” or “difficult” or “blah”! We know those messages are in the popular culture, so unless your own marriage is actively showing something different, you are emphasizing that message!

I actually just wrote a guest post on Hope at Home, a great adoption blog challenging parents about this same idea! http://hopeathomeblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/when-you-dream.html

Thanks for a great post J!

It’s law and that’s final. The results of this attitude from parents are enormous. There is little or no parent-child relationship. We got a longer way to go and I thank GOD for a new generation of youths who believe otherwise and are looking up revolutionary measures. I found this blog today and I’m already enjoying it. Thanks J!

And that’s not what God says about sex! My heart breaks for those who got such a twisted perception of this gift for marriage from God. I pray that you can get that healthy view of sex as God intended.

Paul, you know I completely agree! My title was just in reference to what sparked my thinking. You’re absolutely right that we have to start long before kids reach their teens.

In the teens, however, I think it’s time to give them deeper reasons and strategies for staying pure.

And I would be sent off to reform school if I got pregant. It messed me up and I am still trying to have a healthy view of sex today at age 48.
I think that was wrong and controlling.
