RE: Last night we had "the talk" with our kids!
I am not comfortable talking about sex to just anyone, but I am with my husband and close friends
My parents didn’t talk about sex at all... it was just “you don’t have sex because it’s not ok when you’re not married”.
Our kids are 13 and 14 and we have discussed sex with them and the boundaries as well... what sex was designed for and for whom. We are Bible believers so we have strong values when it comes to not sharing ourselves freely. The media has changed the worlds perspective of sex, which we try to explain as well. It’s definitly an open topic in our home. Our goal is the same as yours, to keep the communication open and that they feel secure in conversation.
Very well written, nice to see others who think this way.
@jeejee, thanks for the comment. I appreciate the approach you are taking with your children. It is challenging as parents when we start making changes that our parents did not mentor well.
My beliefs on marriage and sex based on my faith in Jesus. I am glad that we can start redefining the stereotype that religion and sexuality are in contention with each other. As we create conversations with our kids, we help them understand that God has a beautiful plan for all of their relationships.
Thanks for stopping by!
Yes, our Heavenly Father has an exact plan. Knowing WHY we should or should not do something is paramount to obeying. This is the definition of understanding.
