– The key to living out healthy sexuality is context. What does your life look like as a whole? That question will determine your success no matter how good your intentions are. Is sexual desire just another substance for addiction, looked toward in order to fill an emptyness, or do you have a full, well-rounded life, so that you are not leaning on the next relationship, or on porn and masturbation?
– Physical proficiency at sex is a practiced skill. Accordingly, abstinence before marriage is not something you do for the sake of physical performance, but for the spiritual substance.
– Sex is less about the act itself, and more about who it’s with. The moment will pass, but the relationship will remain.

Do you think people who don’t want to get married should be celibate for life?

If the set spiritual beliefs that they claim to follow holds them to that standard.
In my case, I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, and celibacy outside of marriage is a conviction of mine. Accordingly, I am interested in attempting to empower and encourage those with like convictions. That is my intent here. Professing believers in Christ have enough work ahead of them to clean up their own house before they come out at the rest of the world about what they should do. Christians here in America need to get over their sense of entitlement and presumption about this being a ‘Christian nation’ and start living from the inside out, not the other way around.
The Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian church:
“I wrote to you in a letter not to associate with sexually immoral people, or to the greedy and swindlers, or to idolaters; otherwise you would have to leave the world. But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother who is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or reviler, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person. For what is it to me to judge outsiders? Do you not judge those who are inside? But God judges outsiders. Put away the evil person from among yourselves.” (1 Corinthians 5:9-13)
