I think there are more people who save themselves for marriage than we think. But the media practically tells people what is “normal.” and then I think it becomes normal. How many modern shows do you know where the characters actually wait until they’re married? Basically none. So I think people think “everyone does it” before marriage because that’s what they watch on TV etc. all the time. Actually, I live in a city where it’s normal to wait until marriage. Lots of religious people wait until marriage, but they aren’t as loud about it as those who don’t wait. My brother and sister both waited until marriage. They are happily married still.
It’s hard sometimes, but don’t give in. It’s worth it, I swear it is! It will make the moment even more special then if you didn’t wait.

I had to teach a class today for the first time. I was nervous about it, but I really didn’t worry hardly at all. It was great!
