I think the emphasis should be on Chasity rather than purity. We lack the infrastructure of chaperones of the past so many lose their virginity and then get shunned out of the community- it is why so many women are leaving the Church. There is even infrastructure set up to trick women, to pressure women, and even to rape women and get away with it. It is very difficult to avoid these pitfalls as a young naive woman. So many dates involve being alone with a man. Infrastructure needs to be rebuilt to protect both men and women. Also with porn, we now have the problem of perverted virgins. People who are virgins but yet are not chaste. Virginity was a good indicator in the past, and it is still a good sign, but now the issue is a bit more complicated as more than virginity is required. Action Items (1) Hold chaperone weekly date night (with bonding activities) and dances at the Church. Some ideas might be holding contra dancing night and team building activities. (2) Work to bring back free chaperones for dating. Witness help to avoid the social anarchy of dating. It protects men from the fear of false allegations and women from harassment. (3) Hire a young adults coordinator for activities

Great ideas Kaitlin, it's true the world has become very unfriendly to family centred, wholesome, courtship. But we can be the change we need to see, God bless

What if this is just a thought; what if marriage is not for me??? I ask this because I'm still single at 34, going on 35 this year. In a couple of years I'll be 40 maybe I waited too long, who knows. But all I can say that marriage is not always for everyone, but I can't take this desire of being with someone away from me.

If you are a healthy man you should look for a wife or live chastitily. Or maybe be a man of God.

My college roommate who was the most chaste man I ever met, was a virgin when he got married at 36, now has a little girl and a little boy on the way. My uncle who didn’t get married until he was in his FORTIES!!! Was known to date prolifically but always a gentleman. The ladies were all home by ten or were chaperoned if our later, was a virgin on his wedding night and proud of it. He has four kids and at last count 12 grandkids. I waited until I was 28 (also my wedding night). I have fought on three continents, six deployments, swam with sharks, whales, and countless parasite and contaminants, ridden bulls, been charged by Alaskan brown bears and all around chosen a challenging life. Waiting for marriage and being faithful in marriage is the hardest thing i have ever done BY FAR. It is the behavior that created western Christendom aka civilization. Literally the world depends on you being faithful.

Thats called sin. Not the sex part per se, but the part where we tell God listen I know what you want, but I want this other thing, and I want what I want. Marriage may not be your calling. I'd suggest most certainly not if its primarily for the sex. Doesn't mean you should enter a religious order either. Perhaps you're called to live a chaste life. I wish you luck with your discernment. But I pray you don't decide to settle on what you want and ignore God.

@davethesid8960 3 ай бұрын

TOB - Theory of the Body by Saint John Paul II; NFP - natural family planning, the tracking of the ovulation cycle in order to prevent pregnancy without using contraceptives.
