"Flee from sexual immorality. All the other sins that a person commits are outside of his body; but he who commits sexual immoralities sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you and whom you have received from God? You are not your own owners; They were bought for a price. Therefore, honor your body to God. "
(1 Corinthians 6: 18-19 NIV)

She was raised in a family with radical Christian principles, at a time when parents refused to talk about sex with their children; It is not known whether because of ignorance, because of grief, because it was considered a taboo or because they simply did not feel qualified to do so. He listened to them repeatedly, that he should arrive at the virgin's marriage and that they hoped that he would not come to his house with a belly on his back; she knew that they wanted the best for her, that they wanted her to have a successful future and not to be tied to an early motherhood that would prevent the fulfillment of her dreams.
At that time, I did not understand the importance of being saved for the man God had for her; indeed, he believed in him but he was not a fundamental part of his life; He was there but he was not interested in knowing him, reading the Bible or understanding why so many prohibitions without arguments and knowledge about it. Do not blame his parents for the mistakes made, confront their reality with the precepts of the Lord was his responsibility, there was no specific age for that, it was his duty ... and did not comply.
Her boyfriend was her best friend, they had been close to 7 years of courtship and from the beginning of their relationship, they had everything planned; they would study a career, they would graduate, they would marry, they would have children and they would live happily until one of them was called to the presence of the Lord. But that ideal was changing with the passage of time. He began his active sexual life at age 23 ... YES! His parents did a great job, it was not as soon as young people do today. Her first time was wonderful, she was the perfect man, in an ideal place and it was really special, but she forgot a little detail ... they were not married and with the full knowledge of the consequences of having sex without taking care of herself, she became pregnant ...
The special moment became chaos, fear, sadness, disappointment and a hasty wedding surrounded by lies to hide that little baby that grew inside and from the zero moment, it would become the best decision of his life. It was 7 and a half years where, little by little, the ideal of the dreamed family faded away; the love that united them, was distorted by the halo of adultery that never left them in peace and how a ghost was freezing their relationship until the divorce ...
Nevertheless, the Lord did miracles. She prayed and cried out for a man who would love her, respect her and take care of her son as if he were his; He met Jorge and his story changed.
It is his love, a wonderful man, makes her happy and accepts her as she is. She is not perfect, she has defects that God has helped her to understand and when she has made a mistake, the Lord has shown her that she must strive the most with the firm intention of sowing in her husband's heart the idea of not throwing the towel and persevere day by day to become, not the family that some day they dreamed, but the one that GOD wants them to form to give glory to Him in front of their children and the children of their children.
It has been 14 years since he received Christ and declared that he was the savior and master of his life. He has been with Jorge for 8 years and they still have a lot to improve. Their relationship did not start as well as everyone believes, knowing God joined him unequally yoke (he was a Catholic and she was a Christian), he had his girlfriend and she got in the middle of that relationship with full knowledge of the cause and although he never tried to hurt that girl, nor did he want to tie him up, he was emotionally tied from their first intimate encounter. It was like having the first time again, the same nerves, the same emptiness and the same uncertainty, the only new thing, knowing that I was failing God one more time ... there was no justification for that anymore.
When we fornicate we expose ourselves gratuitously to break our relationship with the Lord and with our partner; the problems in coexistence will be constant because they started against the will of God; it could be impotence in men or frigidity in women when having sex; the marriage bond will be exposed to an imminent break due to infidelity, lack of trust, jealousy and insecurity; with a high probability of facing an unwanted pregnancy, intrafamily abuse, apathy and / or venereal diseases, among other things.
True love Waits. For all there is a time and sexual intimacy was designed by God, so that the spouses enjoy each other's blessing. The key to being restored is to pray and speak with Him sincerely, always seeking to build without tearing down and destroying.
"However, I will give you health and cure you; I will heal them and make them enjoy abundant peace and security. I will change the fate of Judah and Israel, and rebuild them as in the beginning. I will purify them of all the iniquities that they committed against me; I will forgive them all the sins with which they rebelled against me. Jerusalem will be a source of joy for me, and of praise and glory in the sight of all the nations of the earth. They will learn of all the good that I do to you, and they will fear and tremble for all the welfare and peace that I offer you. "
(Jeremiah 33: 6-9 NIV)
