I felt this news report about Tim Tebow’s decision to not have sex until marriage was worth sharing. Why is it such a shocker to the media?

It is always refreshing to see someone as successful as he is living out his faith.

For those of us who are married, you know that investing in the relationship with our mate is one of the most profitable activities we can do. MarriedLife, a ministry devoted to helping people experience the individual growth necessary for a healthy marriage, has kicked off a campaign called The Great Date Experiment. This is how they introduce it.

Most of us want to spend time with our spouse, but most of us don’t spend enough time with our spouse. When we do get time together, a lot of us experience the classic, “What do you want to do? I don’t know, what do you want to do?”

So, your task if you choose to accept it: go to the site, download a date and invest in your marriage!

I got the last of the ScreamFree Marriage email mini-seminar today. It has a lot of really helpful little nuggets. You can see it in entirety here.

For who struggle and are married, you know that your marriage can be one of your biggest supports and biggest triggers to act out. Take the time to invest in yourself and your marriage!

Brian and Darcy on the Couple’s Blog at XXXChurch.com just posted a bit of their story. It is really worth the read; both as a wife or a man struggling with porn addiction.

Thank you Brian and Darcy for being so open about what God has brought you through. Your courage is inspiring and your transparency will help a lot of people begin opening up about their own struggles.

What do you think a woman’s virginity is worth?

Is a woman’s virginity worth $3.8 million? That’s how much a 22-year-old from San Diego, California, said she has been offered through an auction she announced in September.

The woman, who goes by “Natalie Dylan,” set up a private auction through the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, a legal brothel in Nevada. The auction has given her lots of “business opportunities,” she said.

What saddens me the most is a statement that the girl made to The London Telegraph.

She added: “It’s shocking that men will pay so much for someone’s virginity, which isn’t even prized so highly anymore.”

Why is it that virginity isn’t important to anyone? Even in Christian circles, it is so misunderstood and for that reason not highly regarded. Virginity is a gift to be given to your spouse. But there is so much more than that. Sex is a bonding agent.

When someone experiences sexual release (orgasm), their brain is washed with chemicals that burn the experience deep into their subconscious mind. This phenomenon is intended by God to deeply bond a husband and wife to one another through sexual intimacy. That is why virginity is so important.

Imagine for just one moment if the attraction that you feel toward others you have shared orgasm with, be it porn or real sexual partners, were all focused on your husband or wife. Rather than your sexuality being tied up with various people, pictures and pixels, it was shared only in the deep, intimate bonds of your marriage. That is incredibly powerful. That is why it should be highly prized!

This is the way God intended it to be…
