The process of abstaining until marriage can really suck sometimes but the benefits are great.
When living for the Lord we die to our flesh daily and being abstinent is hard but if you have both partners striving for the same thing makes it much easier. It is also great whem you have a lot of your friends practice abstinence too that is a blessing .I believe women have a better attitude about it than men. In a relationship you have to be more creative and think of fun things to do to keep your mind off of those things until you are married and when you marry you are free and the passion seems to be so strong .

I am, and yes, it is a difficult thing to do because the media has emphasized not waiting for marriage in almost everything out there. Movies, music, television shows, magazines - they all highlight the parts of society that are considered "okay." Which makes it harder and harder for the rising generations to abstain until marriage because it is so socially acceptable in the world not to. But, again, I am abstaining until I get married.
