Being single in 2023 is not for the faint of heart. Sex is promoted as a human right that must be experienced consistently from very early in life until you die. All types of sex are being promoted on every platform in Western society. Educators are attempting to introduce the idea of sexuality and self-pleasure to children as young as four, with an eagerness to get the children involved in the act of casual, uncommitted sex as early as possible.
Conservative values of celibacy, the act of avoiding sex outside of marriage, have become taboo in our culture. What was once considered a virtue amongst the vast majority of people has become a target for ridicule, criticism, and condemnation.
With this massive societal push toward extreme forms of sexual gratification, I wanted to present an alternative lifestyle many people have become unfamiliar with. That is the idea of choosing celibacy over promiscuity. Waiting to have sex until you are married, whether you are in your first marriage, second, third, and so on, is still a viable choice many people have forgotten.
Every day you are given an opportunity to choose for yourself whether to uphold a set of moral standards or boundaries that place value on the act of sexual intimacy.
As someone who has had the opportunity to live on both sides of this topic, I have learned first hand there is one thing you will never regret; and that is not having sex with someone before marriage.
The reason for this is twofold: First, if you date someone for a period of time and it doesn’t end in marriage, you’ll be glad you never shared the most intimate part of yourself with them. Your breakup will be far less complicated because you haven’t created unnecessary soul ties with someone other than your future spouse. Second, if you do make the commitment to marry this person, your honeymoon will actually mean so much more than “finding good deals on hotel rooms.”
My guest today chose to live a life of celibacy for over ten years following an unwanted divorce from his first wife. We discuss tips and tricks for success as well as common stumbling blocks that prevent people from achieving this spiritual goal.
