I feel that everybody has the ability to make choices for themselves. For me, the choice to not have sex until I’m married goes hand in hand with trying to live by the Bible and the standards God has shown us in the Bible. Therefore, I cannot expect people who don’t believe in the Bible and God to simply abstain from sex. What I don’t like is how commonplace it is for people to talk about non-marital sex as if it should be accepted by everybody. Or that people assume that you’re having sex with the person you’re dating. There was a time when I was sexually active, but when I studied the Bible and decided to try and live my life by God’s standards, I knew having sex outside of the marital arrangement was not in harmony with these things. Yes, I do feel like giving into the desires to have sex, but I also know what it’s like to have sex, and I know it’s not worth damaging the relationship I have with God. I hope that other people can see that my living by God’s standards isn’t about what I can’t have but what I can have. So while I don’t agree with people having sex outside marriage, I appreciate that they have a mind and the ability to choose what they want.
