What does it mean to live with

Sexual Integrity?

As women, we are created to love, to give life, and to be whole.

We can feel good about ourselves and have the power to fulfill our dreams.

Living with sexual integrity is the key to success in relationships and one sure way to make your dreams come true.

Here’s some important information you need to know about your body and how to live with sexual integrity.

Our sexuality is more than “sex.”

Expressing our sexuality appropriately involves all areas of our lives ~ physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual.

Physically our bodies were designed to experience love, pleasure, unity, joy and intimacy in a specific context: marriage.

Regardless of what we may have done with our bodies in the past, we can make choices to be pure and healthy starting today. Protecting ourselves from an unplanned pregnancy or a sexually transmitted disease brings a level of peace, freedom and self respect that is priceless

Living with sexual integrity in each area of your life

will put you on the path to wholeness and happiness.

Healthy Emotional bonding occurs with time, trust, shared experiences and unconditional love. We need to protect our hearts from the pain that broken or unhealthy relationships can bring into our lives. Being emotionally whole will lead to a healthy marriage.

Social consequences to our sexual behavior include our reputation and our success in relationships and life in general.

Intellectual growth is a journey of a lifetime. The more mature you become, the better choices you will make for your future. The decisions you make today will influence who you become in the future.

Spiritual wholeness is an essential element to living in peace and free of guilt and shame. What do you believe? How do you act based on those beliefs?

God created us for relationship with each other and with him, but he has left the choice of responding to him up to you. We are designed to have a wonderful relationship with God, our creator. In fact, we are incomplete without it. God is love, so he is the expert we can turn to if we want a lifetime of sexual integrity and true love.

You owe it to yourself to find out how

to begin this process of living

with sexual integrity

The purpose of sexual intimacy is for a husband and wife to become united in a deep and very personal way. This loving act creates life. What a privilege to bring life into this world!

Love is a decision, not a feeling.

Love is a commitment, not a game.

Love was meant to be unconditional and everlasting, not a temporary fix.

Young women today are believing a lie that sex is just sex and nothing more.

Friends do it. Strangers do it. Anyone can do it.

Don’t fall for a counterfeit when the real thing can bring you so much peace, joy, freedom, and contentment.
