On Boundaries

Today is 2 days short of Abby and I’s fifth month dating-versary.  I mentioned earlier this week that we are super-glad because we setup some fairly tight physical boundaries.

When we first were dating, we set these boundaries not really knowing why, but we knew God wanted us to, and it seemed like a good idea…then came this passion thing.

We have both developed an incredible amount of passion for each other.

Neither of us expected it to be like this, and now we’re in a place where we’re glad that we know God’s plan for our sexuality.  I made this statement the other day: “If we didn’t have boundaries, we’d have regrets”, and Abby agreed.

For us, it’s not necessary to kiss.  You won’t ever find us laying down anywhere together.

The pressures we feel from the society around us are telling us that it’s OK to have sex while dating.  That it’s not such a big deal to have co-ed sleepovers.  That as long as you don’t make babies before marriage, you’re good…and even if you do, well, it’s not too bad.

We can aim higher than that.  In fact, God tells us in the Song of Solomon that a couple who waits for marriage has an awesome relationship - physically, emotionally and spiritually.  And that’s what we’re striving for, no matter what society tells us is ok.

We can do better than that.
