Lived Experience
Question
Dear Sheila St. John,
I have read through many of your replies, especially in the teen section, and I must say that I was thrilled to read your responses to these seemingly desperate young people. It is high time that professionals get back to basics in teaching young men and women that saving yourself for marriage is the best way. I was married at 19 and my husband was 20 (am 31 this year, and have three lovely kids).  I was unfortunately not a virgin – but my hubby was. And to this day he takes pride that I have been the only woman he has been with. In times of marriage troubles he has been adamant that we have seen it through because God kept him for me. Keep up the good responses 🙂
