Growing up through secondary school, I had known based on my upbringing that it was suggested that I should wait to have sex until marriage. However, it always seemed like a rule that was meant to be broken, as I saw it happening everywhere: in the media, news, and even starting to happen in my school around me. during my form four class our teacher announced that we would be having the visitor who would come to speak on abstinence at our school. As terrible as this sounds, I thought abstinence was just an excuse for people that didn’t have enough “game,” or were not attractive enough to actually have sex. when the speaker finished to speak,he did not fit any of my preconceived stereotypes. He was a relatively young and he is in relationship, he wasn’t awkward but actually was very fun. He shared his story of abstinence, and about his relationship with his fiance in a way that you don’t usually hear people talk about relationship and marriage: with genuine happiness. He also talked about real life examples of the pain, emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual, that sex before marriage can bring. For the first time in my life abstinence seemed not only like the best choice, but an attainable choice. I realized that he was not against sex, or about ruining the fun of sex, but taught that the best sex, comes within a committed marriage relationship. From that moment I decided to abstain and now I enjoying the abstenience life!Abstinence is not an Excuse !!!
