How Do You Remain Abstinent Until Marriage?
In order to remain abstinent until marriage, you will have to make a commitment to yourself and your partner despite all the challenges you will face. Remembering that the ultimate reward of sharing pure intimacy together is worth your patience and will help you reach your goal together. Find a partner who shares your goal of remaining abstinent until marriage. It’s likely to be impossible to date someone who does not believe in abstinence if you want to remain true to your beliefs because the pressure from this person to have sex, whether verbalized or simply implied, will be too much for you to handle. Be sure to fully explain your reasoning for wanting to practice abstinence before pursuing a relationship with someone, especially if you think it could lead to marriage. Avoid situations that promote sexual temptation. Try not to be completely alone together at home, especially at night, and do not sleep in the same bed unless you are confident you can avoid too much bodily contact. D
