Relationships

“When you have sex with someone, you are having sex with everyone they have had sex with for the last ten years and everyone their partners have had sex with for the last ten years”.                                                        C.  Everett Koop.  MD

 

God created sex but he also created boundaries for sex.  The boundaries he created are marriage.  He did this for our protection because He loves each one of us!  There are physical, spiritual and emotional consequences.

 

The physical consequences are unplanned pregnancy and Sexually transmitted Diseases (STD).  Some are life threatening.  More than 1 out of 4 Americans are presently infected with a STD.  Some of these are incurable and can eventually kill.

The emotional and spiritual consequences are also very real.  You may feel used, guilty, embarrassed and angry.  When you give yourself to a partner, you are giving a part of yourself to them.  When relationship separates, it is like a divorce.  Your sexuality is a gift from God and is meant for your future spouse.  The only 100% safe sex is to wait for any sexual activity until marriage.
