Why I Have Taken Up The Challenge. All of the situations discussed in this series are reasons for why I have taken it upon myself to write about the challenges Parents and Children face today, especially teens and tweens. I want to help parents and teens see that there are alternatives to doing what they know in their souls are wrong but society is telling them are right.

“Sex, What About It? is not a “How To” book on sex but is written for families to use when talking to their teens about sex. In it are suggestions one might consider for healthier attitudes about sex. With Healthier Attitudes we have better and longer lasting relationships.

When we remove chastity, morality, and Godliness from society, what’s left? That’s why society has NO chastity, NO morality, and little or NO godliness. That’s also why we have such a high rate of teen pregnancy, the high cost of supporting young mothers and their children, and the high rate of sexual diseases transmitted in society.

Suppose a man waits for sex until it’s under the covenants of marriage. Yet, women think he is weird for dating without having sexual encounters. Worse, women won’t date or marry a man who isn’t experienced. Now he is frustrated because women don’t appreciate celibacy and fidelity.

Some people abuse sex, and they do things their creator never intended for them to do. They play with it as if it’s a cheap toy, showing little or no respect for its powers or valuing the boundaries that God has placed on its use. Sometimes a spouse smudges the lines that keep sex within the bounds of their commitment to each other. They do not respect the blessing that sex should be in their relationship and so they look outside the marriage for satisfaction.

Some children are taught that sex is bad, that those who do it without being married are nasty and will go to hell, and that sex is something they should not talk about with their parents because it is embarrassing.

Other children are taught that sex is a gift from God and that it is to be reserved for marriage. Children are told that waiting to have sex is good because it celebrates their union in marriage.

Unfortunately, most children are taught at a very young age that sex is nothing special, that it’s just part of life and of growing up. It’s no wonder then, that children talk about sex and being sexy (even as young as kindergarten).

Let me tell you what I know about fidelity in a relationship and then you decide what is best for you and your relationships.

In the times we live now, sex is considered part of the dating process. Yet, in times past, people tried to reserve sex for marriage. For whatever reason today, some people still believe that sex should be saved until consummated under the marriage covenant.

The human body is a marvelous work and wonder, with the innate ability to procreate in order to preserve the species. As such, the body provides the exquisite pleasure of sex that bonds a man and woman together, especially in trying times.

Sex provides the special glue that helps to keep marriages together, in sickness and health, in prosperity and want, and in joy and pain. In addition, sex helps soothe many of the imperfections that come between spouses; especially when dealing with the daily trials of life.
