ditch the switch.
THE CATHOLIC HYPE WOMAN’S GUIDE TO
SAVING SEX FOR MARRIAGE
I am so sorry for the
lies that you have been
taught about sex.
Hi, friend - Anne Marie Stroud here.
Recently, I spontaneously decided to throw up a questions box on my stories, asking my followers to drop all their “taboo” questions that they felt like they couldn’t ask anyone else.
Guess what 90% were related to?
Again & again & again - “How do I cope with the reality that I’m told sex is evil for years & then on my wedding night it’s suddenly ‘anything goes?!’”
This shouldn’t be a taboo conversation. And I’m so sorry that that is the message you have received about sex.
I don’t have all the answers - I’m just your big sister hype girl who doesn’t want you to walk out any aspect of holiness alone. By God’s grace, I stayed a virgin until my wedding night - but there’s so much I wish I had done differently & if you’re looking for insight on how to wait well, girl, I want to be vulnerable with you. It doesn’t have to be either sex is fine when you’re dating or a traumatic wedding night - and you know what? It’s not God’s heart for you to believe that.
He wants you to know that your sexuality, your sexual desire, is GOOD, always, forever, regardless of your relationship status - & I’m just here to offer some practicals to walk in His truth.
it’s time to
ditch the “switch” mentality that
sex is evil until the moment you’re married by learning how to steward your desires & love well in your dating season
