Sexual Integrity
What is sexual integrity?
When you choose sexual integrity, you are vowing to abstain from sex until you are married. Sexual integrity is a choice you can make now, even if you’ve had sex before. It is important to realize that sexual integrity is more than a choice: it’s a lifestyle.
A lifestyle of sexual integrity is choosing to delay gratification of self: saying “no” to sex, avoiding situations that could lead to sex, being careful what you allow your eyes to see, and guarding what your ears hear. Sexual integrity is saving yourself for your future spouse.
Why should I wait?
God created sex to be enjoyed—yes, enjoyed!—only within the institution of marriage. When a man and a woman have sex, their spirits connect. Should the two people decide to split, there can be deep hurt involved. Sexual integrity helps protect your heart…no condom can offer that type of protection.
