Importance of Abstinence Before Marriage

Cohabitation before marriage is a prevalent trend, but it is essential for couples to understand the importance of abstinence and refrain from sexual relations before marriage. This commitment fosters love for the Eucharist and builds a foundation of self-control and virtue. It also allows couples to experience the thrill and anticipation of intimacy within the context of Christian marriage.
