according to God’s image precisely as “male or
female.” It is not lonely solitude but rather in
relating to others through our sexual natures
that we share in God’s life of love and
creativity.

35. Despite all misuses
and
misunderstandings,
our human sexuality is
something good! It is
a God-given power for
love and generativity
that we must learn to
gradually integrate
even more fully with
our total selves.

36. I AM A RESPONSIBLE BOY
The parents of my girlfriend place
their trust in me. I will not violate it.
I will respect my girlfriend as I
expect other men to respect my
sister.
I will respect womanhood because
my mother is a woman: I will ask my
girlfriend to do nothing that I would
be ashamed of if my mother found
out.
My girlfriend has given me the
honor and pleasure of her company.
It is wrong for me to expect more in
payment for this date.

37. My girlfriend will be a wife and a
mother someday. She must be an
example to her children and the
pride of her husband. I will help her
to be as pure and decent as I want
my own wife to be.
Manhood means strength of
character as well as body. Lack of
self-control is a sign of weakness. I
want my girlfriend to know that I
am manly.
God is everywhere, sees
everything, and knows everything.
Darkness may hide me from
people, but it cannot hide me from
God.

38. I Am a Responsible Girl
My kisses are worth more than a
party or a movie.
My body is the temple of God...not a
plaything.
The first "NO" may be difficult...after
that it's easy.
Virginity is still a virtue; lust is still a
capital sin.
The way I dress, act and speak may
be a temptation to my boyfriend. I will
observe modesty for his and my own
protection.

39. My parents have done so much for
me I wish always to be a credit to
them.
My boyfriend will be a husband and
a father some day.
He must be a hero in the eyes of
his wife and children. I will do
nothing to prevent that on my dates
with him.
I want to be a wife and mother. I
will reserve my purity and affection
for my husband and children.
If through my weakness, I should
get pregnant, I will not take "the
easy way out" by killing my unborn
child.
