Everyone's favorite topic, sex. I myself, don't like this topic in the least. I don't dislike it because of my lack of experience, but in a way, the opposite. While, I was raised in the church and I am waiting until marriage. Sex is one of the most talked about topics in my age group. Whether a guy is pressuring me for it or a friend is talking about her wild night. This topic runs rampant among my generation.
So I began to ask myself, why does it bother me so much when married Christians talk about sex? After all, sex was made by God and in the correct boundaries, is a good thing. So why do I find myself steamed with anger when my married friends make comments about how fun sex is? Or when my pastor cracks a joke about it?
I have came to the conclusion that it bothers me because they aren't telling me anything I don't already know. I know sex is fun. I know it's good. What I don't fully understand (because I haven't gotten to that point in my life yet), is why is it so important to wait? If it is just physical, not emotional, then why am I fighting so hard?
While I know that God intended for it to be a bounding activity, this is not present in my conversations. I would love to go into detail about things I have over heard, as well as thing I have gone through but I will restrain because it might look like I am advertising sex outside of marriage. Which I am not! I trust God, and He does not ask us to do anything without a way to succeed at it, and a divine purpose.
The point of this article is to point out to those that are married, that single Christians do not need to hear the same things about sex that the world has already told them. Rather, we need to hear why it was important that you waited. Or why you wish you would have waited. How it has strengthened your marriage o
r your bound with God. Stop telling me how much fun it is. Even the Devil has told me that.
