Health & Relationships

As a little girl, you dreamed about romance and Prince Charming. You’re older now, and are facing real life, not dreams. Do you have questions or challenges that you didn’t anticipate? Relationships can be both enriching and demanding! Maybe you’ve experienced the priceless love, confidence, sacrifice, support, fun and adventure. Or maybe you have felt confusion, hurt, misunderstanding or have suffered abuse.

Many young people allow loneliness, rebellion or peer pressure to dictate their sexual decisions. This often leads to disappointment and regret. Some young women seek love by agreeing to sex. Instead of providing intimacy, this can destroy commitment and communication in the relationship. This type of relationship also increases your risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections.

If you develop healthy relationships now, you will reap the reward—personally, as well as in your marriage and your future family. No matter what your relationships have been like in the past, you can make wise choices now for future relationships. Learn about the value of abstinence before marriage.
