Love Waits

(For those hopeless romantics out there or for those people who are currently need some guidance.)

Love is patient… Love starts with being friends, with taking time to get to know each other. It’s sharing the good and the bad times together.

Love is kind… Love wants to for the best things for another person. Love never demands something that will harm you or the person you love.

Love will never cross the line between what’s right and wrong… It’s right to care about someone. It’s wrong to put another in danger of having to deal with hard choices… choices that could change both of your lives, your goals and plans forever. Having sex before marriage may feel right for the moment. But the possible costs of an unexpected pregnancy, abortion and sexually transmitted diseases, as well as deep hurts that can come from a broken relationship, outweigh the feelings of the moment. The feelings are temporary; their consequences are long-lasting.

Love waits…All good things are worth waiting for. Waiting to have sex until marriage is a mature decision to control you desires. Waiting allows you to build strong friendships… to treat yourself and other as unique and valuable individuals and to treat sex as something exiting and special to be shared with one person for a lifetime. If you are getting to know someone or are in a relationship remember, if it’s love, it can wait.
