Talking Points:
- The Bible teaches that true followers of Jesus will flee from sexual immorality, and that includes sex before marriage. It’s never too late to hit “reset” on your relationship and commit to sexual purity. 1 Corinthians 6:18
- Sex clouds your judgment and keeps you from true intimacy. When you save your relationship from sex, the fog will disappear and you’ll see each other for who you really are.
- Saving your relationship from sex will make her feel more loved, not less. She’ll realize you’re into more than just her body.
- When you save your relationship from sex you’ll establish yourself as a godly leader for the future. Marriage is filled with temptation, and now is the perfect time to start earning trust in the area of faithfulness. Hebrews 13:4
