Why Waiting Until Marriage Matters

What it is

Dannah Gresh makes the positive case for waiting rather than the prohibitive one: what sexuality is designed for and why the boundary exists, rather than a list of what not to do. The broadcast also turns to parents with practical advice on talking to their children about sex, which makes it useful to two audiences at once — a single adult working out their own convictions, and a parent working out what to say. Free as a digital download from the Focus store, published November 2016, so some cultural reference points have aged even though the argument has not. Read alongside Gresh's work on erotica and women, also in this directory, and Juli Slattery's Rethinking Sexuality for the fuller theology.
