TRUE LOVE WAITS AT ANY AGE

TRUE LOVE WAITS AT ANY AGE
By Beverly J. Anderson
Sex belongs within marriage. Adults tell teens and youths “Just say no, true love waits!!” The wise person adds, “…….at any age”

Every married adult may one day be single again through divorce or death of a spouse. Single adults need to heed the same massages because the risks and the consequences are grave ….at any age.

Singles of all ages can agree on methods to diffuse situations which may lead to sexual intimacy. Here are some ways to help:

• Plan carefully where you will meet and have a clear goal or objective for such meeting
• Refrain from watching suggestive movies or listening to music with sexually based lyrics.
• Ask friends to hold you responsible for your commitment to chastity.
• Employ diffusers for heated emotions - walk at a moderate pace, pay attention to animal, work on a project, eat a snack or meal, study and meditate on the word of God.

Make it your goal to learn about God and people around you, to abstain from sex before marriage, and then to enjoy sex in marriage as God intended with his blessing. Remember, marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral (Heb. 13: 4 NIV)
