Week 7 (2/25-3/1)

Week 7



This week we learned about sexual intimacy. It is interesting how important it is in strengthening the bonds between a husband and wife within a marriage. It also astounds me how the same thing can be so damaging to those involved without it being within the bonds of marriage. We learned that perhaps the things that are being taught within the schools about sex education are not really the things that the students need to know. 

Social trends regarding Sex Education:
  • ·      Sex education classes being taught in school
  • ·      Public displays of sex in the media
  • ·      Most information coming from peers
  • ·      Parents not providing basic information
  • ·      “Safe Sex” being taught over abstinence
  What we discussed as a class, however, is that it is crucial for children and teens to understand the negative emotional, physical, and spiritual effects regarding premarital sex. I believe that it is more the parent's responsibility than the school's to teach their children about sex and its divine purposes. The more that children and you understand that boundaries are put in place to protect them and bring them happiness, the more likely they are to obtain from such things.
