Why Being Just Friends Is Impossible
In most romantic comedies, we find friends who magically fall in love with each other and live happily ever after: a situation in the real world that will hardly happen. Although there are instances where guys and girls can be ‘just friends’ (circumstances where either party has no feelings for the other), in most times it is really difficult to maint

Trust Starts with You
“I have a hard time trusting people.”“I never feel like I can trust my husband (or wife).”It is very common for me, in my work as a counselor, to hear the above statements. Trust issues abound in relationships. However, resolving trust issues is not about getting another person to be trustworthy. It’s about you become a trustworthy person

Q. As a young adult I was raised in the church, and I know the Bible says to wait for sex until after I am married. My question is “Why?” I know about all the arguments about the communicable diseases, and unwanted pregnancy issues. But let’s face it; these are just what I call scare tactics. After all, those are things that can be prevented with the use of forms of birth control and responsible decisions. I want to know what is the harm of having sex before marriage?

A. Your questions are very valid. You’re right a lot of the traditional sex talks can seem to be like scare tactics to persuade people to make the right decisions. Some even compare them to guilt trips from the pulpit. However, while your question addresses the physical concerns of sexuality, there are some emotional reasons God intends sex for marriage.

1. Not being compared to other sexual partners

We all know the pain of being compared to others in every day life whether it is they are more intelligent, more beautiful, or have more accomplishments. However, sex requires a lot of vulnerability. Therefore, that the depth of being compared sexually can hurt so much more; especially if there has been more than one sexual partner.

2. Increased self esteem because you believe you are worth the wait.

Waiting is one of the most difficult things to do in life. As human beings we like getting things quickly. We have fast food restaurants, microwave ovens, high speed internet connections. Abstinence requires that you bypass instant satisfaction of physical desires, while keeping focused on savoring that sexual experience for your future spouse. Those couples that I have counseled that have abst

When The Pope Speaks
Ankara, Turkey – Amidst arising controversy, Pope Benedict charges forward on his visits to Turkey. Details of his visit are highly sensitive because of remarks the Pope made in a speech back in September. In his highly infamous Regensberg Speech, the Pope simply quoted the Fourteenth Century Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Paleologus as well as quoting t

e more accomplishments. However, sex requires a lot of vulnerability. Therefore, that the depth of being compared sexually can hurt so much more; especially if there has been more than one sexual partner.

Consider Shopping at a Human Pheromones Store
Pheromones are a natural chemical released by the body that signal things to other humans. Human pheromones stores sell pheromones, specifically the human sex pheromones. These pheromones have been duplicated and made available as a liquid form. At a human pheromones store you can buy these liquid pheromones to supplement your natural pheromones.

e. As human beings we like getting things quickly. We have fast food restaurants, microwave ovens, high speed internet connections. Abstinence requires that you bypass instant satisfaction of physical desires, while keeping focused on savoring that sexual experience for your future spouse. Those couples that I have counseled that have abstained until marriage, often tell me that they know how important they are to their spouse because they were worth the wait. Abstinence not only demonstrates your spouse’s strength in character, but also the value he/she places upon you and your relationship.

3. The intimacy of discovering each other sexually

Let’s face it - virgins really don’t know what they are doing when they have sex for the first time. It is an awkward time, leaving some to even ask, “This is what I waited for?” But, there in lies the gem. As their marriage progresses, there is fun in discovering sexuality together. Couples feel closer and more connected rather than wondering if they are living up to previous sexual partners.

Proverbs 4:23 says: “Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that’s where life starts.” (The Message.) God’s intention for abstinence is not made from a set obedience of rules and regulations, but from trying to protect our hearts and emotions. Relationships that have involved sex have a more emotional jagged edges than those where abstinence has taken place. Aren’t you worth the wait?

It is commonly said that there is something for everyone and this is also true when it comes to the loan industry. Unsecured Tenant Loans are specially designed for those who do not own a property but instead rent their home and thus have no collateral to secure a personal loan. These loans have many advantages for tenants and provide finance to an otherwise credit-less niche.
