What's up, y'all? It's Bethany and Kristen, and we are going to have an honest conversation about saving sex for marriage. And now you may be wondering, well, did you? What? What is this? So I've been married for six years and yes, both my husband and I saved sex for marriage and we were actually both of each other's first kiss to each other. So we were kind of extreme. That might just like shock some of your

brains. You're like, okay, were you Amish? Like, did you grow up? Like, where? Where did you grow up?

Grew up in San Antonio, Texas. What about you? I mean, same. We, Zach and I are coming on 14 years of

marriage, which is so hard to believe because I still feel like I'm so young. And then I'm like, how have I been married for 14 years? I got married when I was 24. Zach was 23. And we also saved sex for marriage. And we're also each other's first kiss, which is really, I think it's so sweet. I love it. I love that he's the only one I've kissed. But yeah,

a lot of people will hear that from the two of us. And most of you all know that we're sisters

and we'll get questions from you guys. Like, okay, on the other side of it, looking back now that

you've been married for six years, almost 14 years, was it worth it? Like, what do you, do you look back and have regrets?

Do you wish you did things differently? Do you wish you had tried more partners and people or practiced

beforehand? Or what's the wedding night super awkward? Like, we get all of those questions. So we

want to have a really honest conversation with y'all and talk about it because I don't think enough people are

talking about it. We hear these, you know, in church or Bible studies, hopefully, we are

taught that it is a good and biblical thing to save sex for marriage. We see that throughout

scripture, that the marriage bed should be honored, that the marriage bed is holy. I was just

looking at Hebrews 13-4, which literally says, let marriage be held in honor among all and let the marriage bed is holy. I was just looking at Hebrews 13-4, which literally says,

let marriage be held in honor among all and let the marriage bed be undefiled. So biblically,

we know this is a good thing, but it is the opposite of what culture is promoting, the opposite

of what so much of the next generation is pursuing. And so there can be questions of like,

is it really that big of the deal? And is it

really worth it? Does it really matter? Yeah. I think one of the number one things that I

dislike in the Christian community is the lack of preparation and equipping on the topic of

sexuality specifically for like single women. And I know that like that's changing. And I know that there have been a lot more like there tended to be a lot more conversations for young men on this topic. I don't know how great that's all working out for everyone. But I am excited to be a part of this conversation and actually be equipping and helping young women in this area. And I know we've written and produced like a ton of resources at Girl to find specifically

on this topic. I mean, sex purity and the longings of a girl's heart is an incredible resource.
