Though dating a non-christian person is generally frowned-upon, sometimes even in a Christian relationship the pressure to have sex is overwhelming. Not only can it come from your boyfriend or girlfriend, but it can also come from your friends and peers.
When I told my friend that my boyfriend and I were planning on waiting, she said that we should just do it now since we love each other and we should just enjoy what we have. And even though that was a year ago, those words still constantly make me feel insecure about our relationship. Though I know she's wrong, I feel left out from everyone around me who knows what its like to be that close to the one you love. But then I remember that while they know what that feels like, they don't know what it feels like to be so close to God. They are doing the opposite of what He wants, and in my heart I know that nothing is worth that.
Next time someone asks you why you won't have sex until you're married, tell them that God knows what is best for you. You know that by following God, you will have a happy life and nothing is worth messing that up! Not even sex. When you get married, there will be so much time for sex and it'll seem more special that you waited anyway. Those who told you to just do it now in high school will be the ones fighting with their spouses and not enjoying sex like God wanted us to. Meanwhile you'll be enjoying God's gift to married Christians for the first time. Doesn't that seem worth it? I think so.
