Yes, you read the title correctly I'm 31 yrs old and a virgin...on PURPOSE! Here's why..
WHY AM I WAITING TO BE INTIMATE UNTIL MARRIAGE? :
At a pretty young age I'd say about 8-10 yrs old I can vividly remember having a conversation in the car with my mom one day after church about desire to "wait until marriage". I went into detail on why it meant so much to me and why I felt it was so important. Growing up attending Children's Church we were taught to a degree about saving yourself for marriage but it wasn't something that was really explained in detail . My mom never sat me down and explained why I should wait or talked to be about sex in general for that matter unless I had a question and from there she would explain it in a way that I could understand.
My decision to not have premarital sex was based on a promise that I made to God.
Thinking back on this decision that I made so young was huge, why did I make such a difficult promise, where did I get all this wisdom and conviction so early on from? I always jokingly say that I've been 31 years old for 31 years. lol I've been blessed to have had a fairly good head on my shoulders and perhaps bit more wisdom from the beginning and this is all due honestly to being surrounded by my mother and grandmother 90% of the time and studying them constantly. As I said before there was never a definitive conversation about premarital sex but I learned so much from watching my elders.
Remaining a virgin hasn't been a easy path to take and I would be lying if I said I had never toyed with the idea of sex outside of marriage.... But I'll get more into that in part two of 31 Year Old Virgin so stay tuned!
