It seems like every day brings a bold new proposal for how we should think about sexuality. The latest: an article questioning monogamy as a realistic practice for humans. The author concludes that “humans are not strictly monogamous. Truth be told, we aren’t even monogam-ish.”
At the risk of sounding like a judgmental jerk, I still believe monogamy is best for individuals, families, and society. Of course, my views on sexuality aren’t formed by merely surveying the animal kingdom; I draw my principles from my Christian faith. But the emotional and relational fallout from adultery and cheating is hard to deny.
We need to hold fast to God’s design for sexuality while extending grace and help to those who fall short. That’s what our resource Urgent Care: Adultery & Emotional Affairs is designed to help you do. This training guide will strengthen your immediate response when news breaks of marital unfaithfulness.
While we’re on the topic of sex, I was encouraged to read some new research that revealed some unexpected findings. Today’s religious young adults value abstinence more than previous generations. The reasons they do so aren’t well understood, but the trend is interesting.
