Good Things Come To Those Who Wait! SEX is Nothing without REAL LOVE!

I absolutely love this book! Mary-Louise is an inspiration and she and her work should receive a lot more coverage. By the time I read this book, I was a "Secondary Virgin" and although I was happy with my decision to wait until marriage it was definitely getting tough at times and in a response to a prayer for help, I found this book. She shows that all of us desire to love and be loved in a pure and true way. It really is encouraging to read of her work with teenagers. She delivers a great message and the kids respond well- the truth is out there and they want it! This should be required reading for everyone once they hit 12 or 13 years of age. I am happy to report that I stuck to my decision to wait until marriage and am now very happily married to a wonderful, kind and incredibly sexy man who loves me for who I am! Shortly after we met and started to get to know one another he asked me why I was still single. I said, "Well, no offfense, but most guys are only after one thing and when they find out they have to marry me to get it, they usually don't stick around." He asked if that meant that I was a virgin. I said, "No, but I'm a secondary virgin and I'm waiting until my wedding night." To my surprise and relief, he said that he was too. We had religious reasons for waiting, in addition to the practical reasons. I encourage everyone, regardless of age or gender to do as we did- it really is a great way to weed out the undesirables. You only need ONE spouse- read this book and sincerely pray for guidance and if it is God's will for you to marry, you will. God Bless and have a great day!- Karen

Excellent and Inspiring!

This is a terrific book! I sat down and read the whole thing cover to cover! Mary-Louise is so inspiring to me as a young adult seeking to live this life of chastity. She helped me to see even more how beautiful it is to wait until marriage.
