    I made the decision to save sex for marriage when I was 15. When I was younger I wasn’t made fun of. When I got older and started working, I was made fun of a lot. They biggest thing they always said. How do you know it’s good sex? My answer, because I will have nothing to compare it to. I saved myself for my husband. Best decision I ever made.

    As long as I was single, I actually found it very easy to wait, as I was never interested in sex outside of a relationship. So when I started dating, I didn't think the temptation would come so quickly. We didn't even kiss until we were 8 months into our relationship, but the temptation to always just go a little further was there much earlier. In the end, we did manage to wait until we were married, but I had to remind myself often along the way that having sex then wouldn't only be failing my commitment, but also failing *his* commitment.

    I'm Catholic, 31 saving myself for marriage. God prepared me for 6 years how HE wants me to be as a woman for my husband. It is hard especially since I've never been in a relationship, but I hope my testimony and purity inspires younger people.

    27, saving sex for marriage, NOT religious - yes, a beautiful value that can transend religion itself imo 🙏⚘

    I messaged you a while ago (probably about a year ago) about saving sex for marriage but being pressured by some of the closest people to me. You responded in such a beautiful way! You are truly an amazing person. Well...a few months ago, I was taken advantage of and lost my virginity. I was broken, felt used & horrible about myself. I went into a deep depression and am just slowly coming out of it. It was something so sacred to me & for it to be ripped away in a matter of minutes broke me. I definitely want to recommit myself and leave the past in the past. I am a better person for leaving that situation and regaining my knowledge in my self worth. Thank you so much for all of your inspirational videos. There should be more people like you in this world!!

    I don't know what it's like in America, but in my country, people change their cars pretty much, like once every few months. So when someone use the "test the car before you buy" excuse I just roll my eyes. 👀 I think a lot of people know they should wait, but it's so hard they can't resist the temptation. I'm very awared of this, so now when I'm still single I write my future self letters warning about physical attraction, how should I interpret it, what should I do with it, and remind why I chose to wait. Then when I date someone, I will read it everyday to ensure I won't do anything I would regret later.
    Emily, I'm so fortunate to find your locely channel. You give me hope in love and marriage! I will pray for you and your family.
    Love you

    As an 18 year old who is striving to save sex for marriage, this is a very reassuring video. I love the idea of making it tangible because chances are, it will make sticking with it just a bit easier. I know when I cross that bridge it will be so very challenging, but I'm excited to commit and wait so that I can experience sex as it was intended to be! Thank you for talking about these types of things. I feel like a lot of people in the church keep this kind of a hush hush topic. People really need to be aware of these things today with the mindset that the world has about sex.

    I almost had sex with a guy a couple weeks ago, and because of my purity pledge and my relationship with the lord, I felt awful. I felt so empty; I had to call and tell him that it wasn’t okay for me to be his “sex buddy” over the summer. He doesn’t want to talk to me anymore. Don’t date someone outside of your faith.

    • @20cgonzalez
      @20cgonzalez 5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Your right! It makes it so much harder if you aren't both on the same page, and ya know how he won't talk to you anymore... what does that say about what he was looking for in the relationship?

    • @sozibrahman8504
      @sozibrahman8504 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    • @cora_99
      @cora_99 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I almost had sex in a really toxic relationship, too. And I felt really bad about it ; but someone reminded me that I'm still a child of God, a daughter of the King, and that how bad I felt I felt about meant that I'd really repented. I had to realize that even though I did a lot of things I definitely shouldn't have done, that I still have infinite self-worth that no one can take from me. So I really know what you mean. But just know - since you're genuinely sorry, God's already forgiven you, and He NEVER stopped loving you; even in the thick of your transgressions.
      He will always love you, and He's proud of you for still deciding to save sex for marriage :)

    i am someone who has re-committed to saving sex for marriage. growing up i had NO IDEA this was a thing!!! now that i am in the conversion process to catholicism and have an amazing holy, catholic boyfriend i have realized that more than anything i can think of, this is a two person job. if you set boundaries and the other person agrees but isn't wholeheartedly and passionately into keeping them, this journey will be nearly impossible,. you need to have many chastity conversations and lots of reassurance and support from your significant other. wish i knew that before dating a handful of ungodly men.

    I've been in a murky zone with my faith lately. Was never able to get baptized as an adult ( i was a baby because my parents were culturally catholic but ummm..i was baby i didnt choose). I mostly thought about saving my virginity for practical reasons ( emotional stability because i have attachment issues, health reasons, not having kids out of wedlock, etc.) And when i started getting interested in Christianity around age 14 my reasoning stayed the same. It was not for God, it was for me and just me and god wasnt allowed in that area of my life so it led me to staying a virgin physically but not being pure and now im 21 and thinking about how i should deal with my lack of commitment to God and whether i can change or just stay this way. What it means to me. Im just scared of the consequences and thats enough to deter me for my 21 years and I have no desire to but sometimes I think even if I got married i would still feel anxious i would be abandoned and have face a lot of issues because of sex like pregnancy and stds if i get cheated on. Sex doesnt feel safe me and never has and maybe its because i grew up in an abusive marriage between my mom and dad.

    • @sozibrahman8504
      @sozibrahman8504 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well the answer is simple. You tell your mom(or anyone) people who tests car before driving might lose interest on you because you're not the best car they ever drove, and they have a high chance of losing interest before they'll get bored with that car cause they had been bored with many cars before.
      More importantly why would anyone buy an used car(non Virgins) with the money of new car(by their own virginity) ???
      Most importantly, you don't have to drive a car to test it's ability. You can just see the features even on internet ( you can just feel if you two will be sexually compatible or not just by common sense and communications)

    I'm 18 and i just started college...Those days some girls from my class were talking about sex outside the marriage as if it was normal,i really wanted to say i was a virgin and that i am going to marry as a virgin,but i was afraid of them don't want to talk to me anymore or to say that to a bad guy and he does bad things with me...Now i know i should've said,that would make my commiment even more real,and i don't care if they don't talk to me anymore,my purity is more important for me than any wrong friends,and my relationship with God is even more!!!

    It's really hard.. and we must put our mind in to it.. I knew a guy, every thing was going fine untill he wanted sex. I told him about my faith, belief and choice.. he don't understood me, and tried to change my mind. In that point I saw where my heart was, and, thank God, I was (and I'm) sure about my commitment. I look back and thank God, because He give us the strength we need to walk in his way.

Can anyone give me some advice on how to get over this relationship and how to move on? I would be extremely thankful if someone could share their experience

      Sophie • The only way is to face your fears and regrets head on and not run away from it. Also having people that love you such as family and friends sticking with you. it's hard but from my experience, there is no other way. And the most important thing is to forgive yourself. Best of luck

      Sophie • a prayer I was told to pray from someone I respect was, “Lord, you are God of my past, my present, and my future. I surrender it all to you” and to maybe pray with the idea of God making us “new creations” 1&2 corinthians and Isaiah are great for that!

    • @GaylaBarrett
      @GaylaBarrett 5 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      Hey Sophie! I felt like God really pulled me in to reply to your comment because He wants to let you know a couple of things. First, lemme give you a little bit of information regarding my own life. I lost my virginity at a young age because I fell into temptation, a very serious relationship with no boundaries, and satan's own lies to me that it was something you do in a relationship and something that made me feel worthy. THIS IS A LIE. I would encourage you to read 1 Corinthians chapter 6 because there are several verses that talk about the impacts of having sex and what God says about sex. I am a single mother to an almost 2 year old boy, and I have never been more committed to waiting and saving myself for my husband.
      So why wait, what's the point? God Himself created sex and it is a beautiful thing, BUT He created it to be within the bonds of marriage. Did you know that sexual sin is the sin that God tells us to flee from? This is because it is literally bringing two people together to become one. When this is done outside of marriage (or any sexual act), you are creating a tie that was meant for your husband (or wife for any man that might read this). Sexual sin is a sin against our own body, which is supposed to be a temple for the Holy Spirit.
      With all that being said, there is forgiveness because we serve a wonderful, merciful God of a million chances. Ask Him to forgive you and lay this burden at His feet. He doesn't want you to have to carry this around because we weren't created to do so. He loves you and when the time is right, He will put a man in your life that will love and respect you the way a man was created to love his wife! We ALL fall short and no one is perfect, but there is always forgiveness when we ask and turn from our ways.
      Also one last thing: Don't allow satan to make you unworthy or be ashamed. Remember, he comes to steal, kill, and destroy. He will if you let him, but you just keep reminding yourself that YOU are a daughter of the King of kings and the Lord of lords! He has plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). I have to say no to this flesh and yes to Him every single day. He never said it would be easy, but if you lean on Him, He will give you strength and make your path straight! You ARE worthy, loved, and forgiven! (If God Almighty can forgive our sins, then who is satan to hold them over our heads?) God says He tosses them into the sea of forgetfulness and remembers them no more!
      I hope this helps you and encourages you! Keep your chin up, there are brighter days ahead! :)

I’ve had people make comments about how they want to make sure their compatible with that person because sex is an important part of a relationship and even though I have not regretted my decision to wait to have sex, it’s something that always bothers me.

    I'm Catholic and I am "saving myself" but I'm not sure what for... like I know the bible says that sex should be between a husband and wife but there is nothing other than this one rule that makes me want to wait until marriage. My personal values are leaning to just waiting for a boyfriend or fiancé... I guess what I mean is I dont want to, I feel like I HAVE to and feeling like I have to do something has never made me not do it for very long if I personally think it's okay... it's not to do with what anyone else thinks, that has never been a part of it. It's that *I* dont really think it's a very important thing... do you know what I mean? I guess I want to want to, but I dont.

    What I'm waiting for is when I do get a boyfriend and take him to a family party. I don't know if they would ask me questions about saving sex for marriage, but if we are also saving our first kiss for our wedding day, which I have thought about doing. It will be interesting if kissing comes up in conversation and to see their reactions, if we would chose to save our first kiss for our wedding. Also, does anyone have any advice/experience with saving your first kiss until marriage? Thanks for reading! ~ Rockfeather

I'm getting old. I'm not married and half of the group meeting is divorced. I don't wanna go through that. I want to stay with my partner until death do us apart. And these are people that seem to be more educated and more mature than I am. What hope do I have???

      Well according to St.- Paul it is *the better* choice to stay single (like him) in this world.
      If the Holy Sprit is with you, you will (though *alone* ) never be *LONELY* and in urgent need of a spouse.
      Also in Heaven there is no marriage. Why should there be?

      God has a special path just for you & if you can listen & follow it, you will definitely be fulfilled. God will not be outdone in generosity. Hope that gives you a little bit more hope!!

    I 100% agree that sex outside of marriage is a sin and made that commitment a million years ago. But when you say it's "worth it" that's hard to hear. Because what if you never get married? That's just sad. I know so many virgins in their 30s and 40s who are just going to be sad forever. Including myself. I guess it's worth it not to sin but other than that....??????????

      Sex isn't the end all be all of life. People can live a fully satisfying and God-honoring life without having sex. Not getting married and not having sex doesn't mean someone will be "sad forever"

      Not everyone is meant to be married. And its not just about not sinning its about God, but like if you dont think thats a good enough reason no one is stopping you??? Its a voluntary choice that has consequences in your life just like how having a sex life can lead to STD'S and Pregnancy outside of marriage, potentially being a single mother etc. Thats good enough for me honestly. I know several people who have HIV and are single mothers. people are like "thats worst case scenario" but like i KNOW these people and I see how they suffer from having sex outside of marriage and im not gambling my life away for a penis??

    People with sexual past/ experience have it easier in relationships in my opinion.

      Emily Wilson because some people don’t want date someone who doesn’t have experience or let alone wants to save it for marriage because they realize they’re not going to be getting anything so they just run away instead actually taking the time to listen to what the person has to say. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I’ve been there it’s sucks

      I understand your frustration! So much! Firstly, it's better that those men run away if their priority is really to just "get something." But I think word choice is important here. I think it's fair to say that people who choose not to live chastely have an easier time finding people to date. That's certainly true. But I don't think it's true to say that people with sexual past/experiences have it easier in relationships.
