Living a Life of Sexual Purity and Purity in General

I previously posted a pro/con piece on Christianity and living that life.  Well, as of recently I must post a retraction on one of those points I posted. Which was sexuality.  At that time I was struggling with maintaining sexual purity. As time has passed I'm finding it much easier to not act on those desires that I still have.  Yes, I still have the urge to want to have sex, and even have not so pure thoughts about it.  However, I have done very well in not acting upon that.  I've had opportunity after another to but I've resisted.  And, I'm very proud of myself. As time progresses I'm sure those thoughts and desires will fade. As I have posted before, After 10 years of having it whenever I wanted, it's hard to give that up, even though I know that it is morally wrong.

Now that I am done with beating myself up here is the beauty of being pure physically and spiritually. Once I have found the person that God has sent for me to spend the rest of my life with, there's that surprise once you're married. You have no preconceived  expectations on how you think that sex should be. It's exactly how God intended it to be. Being in a relationship that begins as a friendship and pursues God as its foundation, will most definitely be stronger and more stable in the long run. If a relationship is based only on sex, you're basically building your home on a beach, waiting for it to be washed away by the tide. It may be fulfilling physically and even emotionally, but only temporarily. Eventually one of the partners is going to get bored or tired with it. Then what do you have? Nothing at all.  Please if you haven't taken the time to watch Jeff Bethke's video do it now. He explains this so much better than I could possibly.
