We know that abstinence can help us avoid the negative consequences that come from sex outside of marriage, but can it do more?

Consider your future. Is it important to have a plan for yourself and for your future?

What are your dreams and goals? How can you achieve them? Abstinence can help get you there.

Relationships

More than just the physical

• Abstinence allows you to get to know the person you are with. Instead of beginning a physical relationship, you can get to know who that person really is and what characteristics he or she has.
  
  

Want to get married someday?

• What kind of person do you want your future spouse to be?
  
  
• If you have high expectations for your future husband or wife, then you must also have high expectations for yourself.
  
  
• So, how do you attract a person with good character who is loving, giving, selfless? You must have the same great qualities you hope to see in your future spouse.
