I do believe that sex in a Christ centered marriage can be holy and not dirty and not perverted. I'm 26 and never have had sex and I'm proud and secure in that and in who I am in Christ as a single woman. God doesn't give a man a wife to fulfill his needs, He gives a man a wife when he is already fulfilled and ready for covenant. I may be single but not looking for anyone because I know and believe the man God has for me will pursue me no matter what. And I'll know as well when God brings him to me, I know my spirit will just know. But in my young age I'm still not ready to be a wife, and God is still growing me in my singleness and my relationship with God needs to be much stronger before He can trust me with one of His sons. I'm grateful for your videos on this topic. Your boldness and honesty was much appreciated. It makes me more content and secure in who I am as a virgin and a woman in God in waiting. I'm grateful because since I've never experienced sex I don't find it a huge temptation in my life. I don't lust after men or lust in general. I'm just focused on me and my relationship with God and when I have Him, I don't lack a thing so I know I'm not lacking I'm gaining in my journey in Christ.

QUESTION: I'm 22 and I've never had sex because I'm also waiting till marriage :) When I explain the security that you have with sex in marriage to my friends (vs having it outside of marriage) they respond "well you're husband can cheat on you and leave". I don't know how to respond after that. It actually hurts and makes me feel a little defeated. What would you recommend I say?
@judgeright22927 жыл бұрын
If u marry a man of GOD, a man who constantly pursue God, he will be convitected by GOd's word and wont cheat on you as he takes the instructions of GOD. thats why its important for you to pursue God first personallly and for him also. so the two of you would share God's value and make your decisions on the word of GOD. as human we are full of faults but with God we can be made perfect. it depends where you fetch your husband from and what it is enstil in them. im 22 too. i have taken 2 years to get to know myself and to pursue GOD. anyone who doens not pursue God does not stand a chance considering dating me
@JustineTeeVee7 жыл бұрын
The Model Artist Don't worry about what others say. These days it's almost impossible in people's mind that a marriage can be a good and lasting marriage. When you get enlightenment from videos like this and share it with others who don't understand or won't understand, their responses will reveal their hearts and show you where their minds are at and what they're excepting to be THEIR reality in lives but it has nothing to do with you sweetheart. Don't let people rob you of that hope. Don't feel defeated. What kept them secure and strong in this journey was Christ. There's so many men out there but there's only one that God has made and is preparing especially for you. Having God as the center of a relationship is the most important thing. It's the only reason why they were able to wait til marriage. Is it possible that cheating can happen in a marriage, yes, but that's why it also depends on who you're marrying. Not all men and women cheat. It's a fear that shouldn't even go through your mind because if you have a relationship with God and put Him first above all things, He'll take care of you and will send you the RIGHT person, someone who will wait for you until marriage. Who won't rush you or pressure you. Who will honor God and you in that waiting just like they did. The greatest test to see if the person is for you is to have them wait until marriage with you. Just like Annabelle said, when she chose to stop having sex in her previous relationship, it ended. Clearly because that man had no value for her and just cared about one thing. But after God brought her, her now husband, when they made the decision to wait, he was also in agreement, and waited for her and made it til the end and fought for her. You're worth to be fought for. If no one is willing to do that for you, they aren't worth your time. And that's how you'll know they won't cheat on you in your marriage. Because if they're willing to practice self control before marriage and actually get to know you and fall in love with you and honor you before marriage, they've proved that they ain't going no where. Usually they show their true selves before heading to the altar one way or another. It's just setting those boundaries and if they're willing to wait for you. Because you're worth it. So if you've found hope through their videos that it's possible to find someone who will do the same for you, hold on to that, and know your worth and your value and don't let anyone, not even your friends steal that from you. Because like I said, if that came out their mouths that means that they have no hope for themselves and have accepted that reality for themselves. But don't accept it for yourself. What ever they say has nothing to do with you. They shouldn't have that power over you to take joy or hope from you like that. Don't live out of some else's happiness or anger. You live your life and hold on to the treasures you've found after watching the videos. And just know that not every one is going to receive well when you share these things to them because not everyone will understand that there's such thing as a good and faithful marriage. It's sad but, this is how the world has trained some people's mind because of what they've seen or even experienced. But it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. So just as an advice of wisdom be mindful and careful of what you share with certain people. If you feel as though you can be easily discouraged by someone's response if you share something like this with them, it's best to not even bother saying anything. I've had to learn over time that I can't even share good things with certain people because they just shut me down and make me believe that what I'm saying isn't reality. No it's their reality, not mine. Not God's. Whatever comes out of people's mouths reveals what's in their heart. So don't take any of that personal, it's just something their dealing with. Don't let other people get you to think like them. It's good to stand out and be that light of hope, even for them. So just hold on to that hope and I hope and pray that you yourself will be that example to them that it's possible. Simply because no one stole that hope in you, and it now became your reality💜 I know I'm not the KZbinrs but I hope it helped a little bit. I usually don't reply like this but I had it in my heart to share with you and to give what was in my heart.

Anointed Beauty Hey I've just come across this comment the bible doesn't actually strategy what is allowed or not allowed within a marriage as long as there is no other parties/people involved or pornography then there is no harm, porn of course is not good because of lustful thoughts etc... in regards to masturbation it doesn't necessarily talk about it but the bible does talk about refraining from the appearance of evil and what I take from that is that it could lead to lustful thoughts and what not, it also says many things are lawful but not profitable, hope this helps God bless
