Build the life you want tomorrow, by making good choices today.
It's Never To Late To Start Over.
Deciding to wait again for sex is always something you can do. Whether you gave sex away or it was stolen from you, you can always start again. You are worth the wait and you might find that it helps you to focus on other areas of your life instead. It’s never too late to make a fresh start.
STEPS TO SUCCESS
COMMIT: Make the commitment to yourself and your future partner to wait or wait again for marriage.
COMMUNICATE: Tell someone about your decision. Tell a trusted friend or family member about your decision. Ask them for support by holding you accountable.
CHANGES: Get away from people, places, and situations that put pressure on you and weaken your self-control. And if you’re in a sexual relationship, you may need to take some time away, or possibly break up.
CAUTION: Be aware that the urge to have sex may still be there, but you don’t have to act on that urge. Prepare yourself in advance that the feelings may come. It may not be easy, but it’s worth waiting for!
