atching my single mother rushing intorelationships blindly, giving her body andlosing pieces of her heart, I was always pretty sure Iwanted to wait until marriage to have sex. But after hearing a camp counselor share how wonderful itwas to give herself as a wedding gift to her husband,I was positive I wanted my wedding night to be asamazing as hers.As I got older, my reasons for commit-ment became even deeper. I started to realize the physical, emotional, and relational risks involvedin sex outside of marriage. I was relieved not tohave to worry about having an STD. I witnessed theself-esteem of my girlfriends and mom plummet asguys slept with them and then moved on to the nextrelationship seemingly unfazed. I was grateful for the confidence I had that guys I dated were interestedin me because of who I was and not what I had tooffer physically.I love knowing that someday when I marry,I will be able to reach a level of intimacy with myhusband that I have never had with anyone else.This intimacy will bond us together for life. I amcommitted to saving myself as a gift for him alone.If you have already shared your gift and had your heart broken, you can still reap the benefits of second virginity. Wrap your gift back up with a tagthat says “Reserved for Someone Special” and vowto save it for your wedding night!
