Commentary
Chastity, defined herein as refraining from intimate sexual relationships outside of the marriage covenant, has ebbed and flowed in acceptance over the centuries. It attracts respect from some and scorn from others.
In addition to avoiding the various negative consequences that so often follow in the train of unchaste behavior, there are significant positive benefits to the practice of chastity. Nathan Dumlao/Unsplash
