The rush of testosterone streaming into the sexual chemistry of teen males between the ages 15 to 19 propels them to the peak of their sex drive.  Add to this, peer pressure and the current teen culture which encourages and accepts sexual experimentation as a normal part of youth and you can see more clearly why sexual promiscuity dominates today’s teen culture.

 

However, if our young people have had many sexual partners prior to marriage, how are they going to develop the commitment and loyalty associated with marital fidelity?  If you can’t be true to your future spouse before you know who he or she is, how can you be faithful to them after you are married?  Appetites for sexual variety cultivated before marriage are going to be difficult to control after marriage.

 

By the time a man is marriage ready, he is likely to have left a train of used women in his wake.  Most likely, the woman he chooses to marry will bring the wounds left by other men from her past into her marriage.  And the women he hurt will take their pain into the lives of future husbands.

 

Almost daily, the media exposes the sexual infidelity of celebrities, politicians, and other public figures.  This public exposure lends itself to normalizing sexual infidelity in marriage.  Promiscuity before marriage tends to be followed by unfaithfulness in marriage.  Is this the future life we want for our children?  We need more parents to model marital fidelity for their children.  God knows they will have enough examples of marital infidelity from others.
