This is a hard fear for many people to face especially when the odds seem to be against them. I say that the odds “seem” to be against them because statistics claim that men think about sex almost twice as much as women do. Therefore, the average woman may believe that she may find herself getting dumped by many men once she tells them that she is waiting to have sex until marriage or she may fear that she is being too eagerly proposed to only so that she can be “had.”

This fear can only be overcome with faith. A person waiting for marriage must have faith that there is someone out there who is waiting with the same sincerity as they have. Then, the person waiting must proceed to wait even if they reach the age of twenty one and everyone in college is jumping out of their pants. They must even wait until forty if they have to. A person waiting should wear this phrase like a shield: “I will stand in faith even if it takes my whole life time.”
