Have you ever given any thought to the liabilities of not living a pure life? And then what are the benefits of living a life that is pure.
4 LIABILITIES OF LIVING A PERMISSIVE LIFE

1. A SEARED CONSCIENCE - does not give you peace of mind.
   Feeling guilty plagues the mind.
   Losing respect for yourself comes with premarital sex.
   
2. FAMILIARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT - The term dates back at least 100 years and this belief has been accepted as a known truth.
   This statement means that if you know someone beyond proper bounds - you stop respecting them.
   This means that it is easier to find fault with them to be critical causing a turning away from each other.
   Respect precedes love.
   If true love and intimacy are the objects of your relationship you will keep things in their proper order.
   
3. WORRIES ABOUT PREGNANCY / STDs - Even with males using condoms there is a 3% occurrence of breakage which presents risk for pregnancy.
   The slippage rate of 2% opens the door for sexually transmitted diseases: gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV.
   
4. BRINGS A LOYALTY THAT HAS NOT BEEN EARNED - Sexual activities (vaginal intercourse, oral sex, etc.
   ) practiced by persons who are not married often fool a person into giving unfounded loyalties, emotional bonds which are motivated by guilt.
   This can lead one to marry someone who really isn't right for them.
   Moreover, studies have shown that couples who have sex before marriage are more likely to have extramarital affairs as well.

PURITY RINGS - ONE SOLUTION Purity rings have become a popular option for young adults.
Just as a wedding band reminds a person of their vows, a purity ring reminds individuals of their commitment to a pure lifestyle.
Just as a wedding ring says publicly that a person is married - a purity ring advertises that this person has pledged their celibacy until marriage.
True love waits!
