Something tonight though, stuck in my mind and am so glad I heard it. Tonight we had a speaker who spoke about the sacredness of marriage, and the importance of a spiritual connection between married couples. What inspired me tonight though, wasn't what was said on a religious level, but more of what was said on an inspirational level.
"Don't let your body make promises, that your heart isn't ready to keep."
Does that mean something to you?
Sex is something that for some people is sacred, and for others is just a fun past time. What I took this quote to mean, is that we have the decision to make in our lives whether we want to share something so intimate that it's hardly talked about in day to day life, with someone that we care deeply about. I'm not condoning premarital sex, but I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Some are ready before others, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
All I'm asking of people living in this world today, is that they take a moment before they engage in sex, to ask themselves the question above. Can you let your body make a promise to your significant other if your heart isn't ready to keep it?
It's a tough question to answer, but I believe it's an important one. The heart holds everything that is you, and your heart is ultimately your truth.

Rachel, I definitely saw this speaker and took something from it as well! I believe that sex should indeed be special, and while it seems almost unreasonable to expect people to wait until marriage in this day and age, I really do believe that the longer you wait the healthier it is. That might be old fashioned, but it's what I think. Even if a certain person isn't necessarily religious, I think everyone can identify with questioning their behavior when it comes to sexual things...so I'm happy you put this question in such a non-judgemental and open way. I think it'll really get people thinking. I'm glad to read this...keep on writing, girl!
