Need Some Quotes!

Well, this was something i once said a whole ago, and maybe it could prove beneficial in this project that you are carrying out.

"Perhaps the greatest joy is the joy brought forth by knowing that someone loved you enough to wait."
it goes on after that...
"So, I hereby take a vow to wait. As a manifestation of this pact, I place this ring upon my left hand, to show the world how great waiting truly is."
I wish not for my soul to be bound to someone I am not married to. I have heard of "soul ties": your soul is inevitably bound to the first person you have sex with.
This is the problem that I see in fornication. (not waiting.)
I also see that the life of a virgin (Outside of marriage) consists of less problems dealing with drugs, alcohol, etc., or at least that is what I observed in my life.
I'm free of those taints and it is so wonderful! 'Tis sweet, this essence of purity.

I have an official "covenant" that I have written, but I'm not going to post it here, for it could rise controversy...maybe.

Well, I hope this is what you wanted.
Thank you for doing projects like this!

I'm a 20 year old, unmarried, healthy christian bloke.

I live in a college environment where most people think booze = fun, fun = booze and sex is just another hobby. Everyday I see how complicated and messy their relationships are. I thank God daily that He has kept me from that lifestyle and put me in college to showcase the blessed alternative.

Discovering a great sex life with my wife has been about more than just getting rid of porn. When porn was a part of my life it was frustrating. But even after I kicked the porn habit it was still frustrating for quite a while. Because in my heart I was still selfish with sex. All I cared about were my needs, what could I get out of my wife and what could I get her to do.

At some point I realized I was working against myself. The more I pushed my wife, the more she pulled away. I remember one time I told her I loved her and she said, "those are just words, you never show me that, and you just say it to try and get more sex. Ouch. So my focus became loving my wife. Every day I tried to find ways to think of her first. What I found was that the more I showed my wife that I loved her, the more I sacrificed for her, the more I got of what I wanted. The quantity and quality of sex is greatest when I show my wife she is loved the most. Obviously, porn is counter productive to that effort, she feels very unloved when I look to other women for pleasure. And now, finally, sex is awesome. There's no frustration, no guilt, no unquenchable thirst for more.

All intimacy left my marriage when I found internet porn. I found myself living a dual life, one trying to satisfy my wife's basic needs, and the private secretive time I spent on the internet satifying my selfish desires. Everything became about me and was very self centered. The isolation created became so massive, that I no longer was excited to be with my wife unless the activity was perverted to stimulate my mind, and even that was becoming difficult as I found it much easier to live in visual fantasies. The touch of my wife was loosing feeling and emotion, and I felt empty and dead inside.

I thank God everyday that divine intervention took place in my heart and life. My marriage has survived this addiction, and the road to recovery has started. I place my wife first, in front of me, in everything and Cherish her unconditionally today - some days better than others, but the actions are there to show my intent and love for her. Emotions and feelings have been restored, and I cannot begin to tell you how attractive I find my wife to be today. She just does it for me! The sex continues to get better every time, and is becoming more of a bonding and unity of us together, and the intimacy is there - growing. Our communication with each other has a whole new level, and it feels really good inside as our relationship grows together.

Inviting Christ into our lives has changed everything. Instead of leading a life to fulfill my own selfish desires, I have incorporated an attitude of placing myself to be of service - to God, my wife, church, friends, and fellows. The shedding of ego has been replaced with humility and peace. What a great life and journey we are on now. I am ALIVE.

Hello,

I just wanted to write a post to people on the "hate-mail" blog. People that post comments to bash this mission have no clue what is really going on in America. They are broken and hurting people that mock a noble cause. If they only knew how many people even in the "Christian community" are addicted to porn they may change their minds on what they believe of this site. I highly favor and will continue to fund this mission. I am thankful for the men who have created this site and continue to lead the charge to help porn addicts. Tell the people on the "hate-mail" blogs to grow a spine and do something with their lives to make an impact. Any human being can mock a noble cause, although it takes a man with guts to stand up and go against the tide!

God Bless the US!

The world has become so desensitisexed. It does not know the true meaning of "sex".

"Marriage should be honored by all, the marriage bed kept PURE for God will judge the adulterer and the sexually immoral."

Absence of sex does in no way prevent a person from experiencing life, fun, "joy" to the fullest. I feel that people who lead "healthy" sex lives or rather unhealthy sex lives are trapped. They are bound by invisible webs called "sin" and the Devil keeps them there. THEY need to be freed.

America has become so desensitised to "porn and sex" in such a way that they don't even know they are in hot water. Someone wrote a book called the "The Gift of Pain". It actually describes a medical condition where a person cannot "feel". Losing your sense of touch can prove fatal if you don't know that something is dangerous and you touch it. Ignoring signs when they warn us of danger is foolish.

The same goes for the newer generation. Without the Word acting in their lives and renewing their minds, they have become so accustomed to the vice that they don't see it as a vice anymore. What was dirty has become pleasing. What was bad has become acceptable.

Bottom line: I stay pure, free and alert.

I want to make a point, now this is not designed to create outrage, but I realize that it may.

I am an avid reader, I read anything I can get my hands on. One of the best novels I have ever read is Madame Bovary, which is about infidelity.

Lets start with our good friend Emma Bovary. She is a woman born in the lower class who marries a village doctor. She spends her entire youth dreaming of not only a life of luxury, but also one of extreme love and passions. Her husband is unable to satsfy her in both ways, so she finds them in affairs which all end badly as well as an attempt to live a wealthy life with the help of a line of credit given to her by the local merchant, both these elements ultimately lead to her death. What we have here is a tragic story, one that is universal and all too common. Here is what I'm getting at, Emma begins to dream of her future luxury after reading about them in romance novels. Romance novels became a sort of fantasy world she would escape into that created her view of the world as a young girl, and served as a painful escape as a woman. Are romance novels really the fatal element of the novel?

The fact is that it isn't, the fatal element is Emma Bovary herself and that fact that she chose to reach for the unatainable until the day she died.

I believe this novel in its entirety would be an ideal quote. Emma Bovary seems to use romance in the same way men often use pornography, it is an ideal as well as a retreat. The ideal it creates is unreal and can really be dangerous in some cases. Madame Bovary is a strong moral story, but one where we feel we understand the humanity behind every actions. These real quatlities make me feel that Madame Bovary serves as something we can all relate to.

Ideals are fine, but it is often extremely difficult to relate to them. Quotes are always very neat and are written by people looking at a situation from the outside. I feel the ones so far will not inspire strenghth because the strenghthless will not see themselves in them. Madame Bovary is a tale for all, one where we see ourselves complete with all our weaknesses we struggle with everyday.
