Sexual Abstinence: "Fasting does not make you a good cook!"

Sexual abstinence does not at all, by itself, qualify anyone for a future committed love relationship in marriage. It is like saying "fasting makes you a good cook"!

Sexual abstinence naturally occurs, because the son or daughter, at the moment of temptation, does not want to risk losing the intimacy they already have with their parents and siblings.

So the crime of a parent is never, whether they teach their children about abstinence, but it is always, not being transparent with their children about their own downfall regarding the issues of love and sexuality.

Furthermore, the lack of conjugal intimacy between the parents is what most likely to lead children to lose their way on the path to "true love"! In order to know what is "false love", one needs to see "true love" first! No one can resist "false love" by simply having parents that don't cheat! It is like, a student saying, "I will have grade "A", as long as I don't cheat on my test"!!!
