A Word to the Wise

At the conclusion of our look into marriage, relationships, and sex, I offered this list of practical advice:

Acknowledge responsibility for your body

know how to control you own vessel

Beware of back rubs

one step of intimacy always leads to the next

Commit to your decision

set boundaries early and refuse to cross them

Dress for success

don’t advertise what’s not for sale

Eschew whatever makes you dwell on sin

movies, TV shows, web sites, magazines, music, and conversations that remind you of sex

Flee immorality

don’t be afraid to walk, or even run, away

Go out with the right people

who share and respect your views

Have an eternal perspective

just because you think you’ll marry them now doesn’t mean you will

Invest for the long-term

you are just holding out now for something better in the future

Just say no

drugs and alcohol don’t make you less responsible for what you do

Keep your clothes on

this one should be obvious
