The Wait….

Just in time for Valentine’s Day….

So of course by now you know that Meagan Good is married now. She and her husband have written a book entitled ‘The Wait’ and they are currently on a promotional tour discussing the ideas & concepts of the book while also promoting a new ‘lifestyle.’ Meagan & Devon lead a christian lifestyle and their book is centered on their choice to wait and abstain from sex in their relationship in hopes of building a stronger connection and stronger love. ‘The Wait’ is a powerful practice for finding the love of your life and the life you love….. Are you ready?

So of course I purchased the book and I’m really excited to begin reading it. What makes me even more excited is the fact that celibacy and abstinence are becoming hot topics to discuss. For too long we have treated sex like a taboo subject. We shy away from the subject and I’m ecstatically happy that Meagan & Devon have decided to be front-runners for this movement.

I personally am definitely an advocate for abstinence and celibacy. Your body is a temple, and that saying is appropriate regardless of what religion you identify with. It is imperative that we be very mindful of the energy we take in and the individuals we decide to share ourselves with. In today’s society, there’s always tremendous pressure to engage in sexual behaviors. Females feel like men won’t like them if they don’t ‘give it up’ or ‘show it all.’ Males always forcing females to over-sexualize themselves. Not to mention that there a lot more followers than leaders. People feel the need to do what other people are doing or try to keep up with the next man instead of creating a lane of their own…. But that’s an entirely different discussion for a different time.

This write up is me standing in solidarity with those individuals who have selected to make the decision to wait. To slow it down. To take it back to the ‘old school.’ To build relationships with substance and not ‘situationship.’ To not break under pressure.

In a moment of time where everyone wants to be included and everyone wants to fit in, make the decision to stand out and not be ashamed of your decision to remain celibate or abstinent. I’m standing with you and I know quite a few more people who standing alongside us too.

If you plan on reading the book or are already reading it, feel free to share your thoughts. Shoot me an email, maybe we can discuss it! (raedaarllc@gmail.com)
