How is a committed relationship developed?
Sometimes we eagerly jump into physical intimacy before we really even know the person. As attraction grows between a man and a woman, it is healthy to allow a friendship to develop by exploring common and differing interests. As you get to know each other, you will learn more about near and distant goals. If the relationship continues to progress and marriage is on the horizon, consider seeking out premarital counseling.

The Bottom Line: Love does not equal sex. You can easily avoid heartbreak, STD’s, and unplanned pregnancies when you pick your dates wisely, determine limits before you get physical, and save sex for marriage.
“I’ve had sex already. It’s too late for me…”
There is always opportunity for new beginnings. It is never too late to set new goals for yourself.
Rise up and have the courage to:
♦Forgive yourself
♦Leave sexual relationships
♦Raise the standard of people you date
♦Exercise self control
