How to stay pure in a relationship (before marriage)?

1) Establish clear boundaries

Communicate openly with your partner about your values, boundaries, and expectations regarding physical intimacy. Set boundaries that both partners feel comfortable with and respect each other's limits.

2) Practice self-discipline

Recognize that self-control plays a crucial role in maintaining purity in a relationship. Practicing self-discipline helps you resist temptations and honor the commitment you have made to yourself and your partner.

3) Surround yourself with trusted individuals

Surround yourself with trusted friends, mentors, or spiritual advisors who can provide guidance, especially when it’s getting difficult. They can offer valuable advice, hold you accountable, and encourage you during challenging times.

4) Pray

Pray for guidance, wisdom, clarity and peace. It allows you to surrender your desires, fears, and struggles to God, trusting in a plan beyond your understanding.

Struggling with sexual temptations outside marriage?

Tell your wife/husband about it. Remove the shame and share your struggles. Resolve the problem together.

Being intimate after first child, how was it?

Take it slow. Talk to your husband. Help him out. Figure out a system that will work for your marriage where you can still be intimate. And try to empathize with him and do things to help him also and to help your marriage. Kasi at the end of the day, I do believe that intimacy and sex was created by God within the context of marriage. And it's there to protect each other. To protect the marriage as well.

Any regrets in marrying early?

Marrying young is not at all difficult especially when Christ is at the center of it all. That's the most important thing about our marriage. It's not perfect. We have difficult seasons, but the grace that we receive from God from a day-to-day basis is it really overflows.

If someone sees you as an inspiration and not distraction, you are with the right person.
