VIRGINS WITHOUT VIRTUES

by Mayowa Adeniyi

virgins without virtues aSexual purity has always been a treasure in the time of our parents when civilization hasn’t upturn the morals values that were instilled in the children that were raised.
It was a thing of pride, a culture that was celebrated and rewarded for everyone, especially females who still retain this virtue until their wedding night.

As good as being sexually pure is, it is a thing which God strongly approves because He wanted everyone to be able to possess his or her vessel (body) in honor because we are His temple and it must not be defiled.
Virginity is what is required from all gender, though much is said of the female folks. But there’s nothing wrong with a man becoming one. Although this is not usually enforced or tend to be required from the male folks in our modern world. Yet, it is not an excuse to living a promiscuous life.

However, in recent times, lots of the female folks have placed much premium on virginity whereas they neglected the main thing that is required – virtues. Some are virgins with a beautiful face but with an ugly character. Of what good is virginity in a marriage when there’s no godly values and virtues to complement it? Of what good is it to treasure virginity when the virtue that is required to become a good wife isn’t available?

Don’t get me wrong, virginity is very good and highly important for yourself, it saves you from the consequence of a sexually loose life and prevents you from the agony which most exposed couples would face in marriage. But you need other qualities to complement this sacred virtue – virginity.

virfins without virtues bDo you have virtues in you that would make you indispensable such as being prudent, temperance, love, hope, courage and justice amongst others? Or a character that makes for an enviable and virtuous wife? Anyone can be a virgin but only few have virtues that would make them indispensable. Virginity doesn’t build your marriage, it’s only a token of trust and it enhances oneness in marriage.

Strive to make your life indispensable by working on your character. How prudent are you concerning the matters of life? Do you have what it takes to utilize your discretion as a single lady or man regarding the issues of life?

Wisdom is the principal thing and it’s one important thing you’ve got to possess. Wisdom is simply knowing what to do, when to do, how to do, where to do and doing it rightly. It takes wisdom to build and sustain a successful marriage.

When it comes to temperance, how temperate are you in character? There are many people who are sexually pure but are badly tempered. Hostility and aggressiveness best describes their lifestyle while patience is faraway from them.

Forbearance is highly needed in any relationship. You cannot claim to love if you lack the ability to tolerate one another. Your partner cannot be like you or think like you. It takes time for oneness and mutual understanding to materialize.

Is temperance lacking in your character? Cultivate it!

The ability to love is a rare treasure most people lack in life. Do not forget that love isn’t just about feelings, it is about being able to make good sacrifices for the betterment of your spouse. Are you loving and loveable? Be a virgin with a virtue. Imbibe good qualities that would make you indispensable now that you’re still single. Maximize your life to the fullest by building good qualities such as the ones that were aforementioned. Build godly virtues that would make you a blessing to whomsoever marries you and not a curse.

Being a virgin is applicable to both gender. It’s not only the responsibility of the woman. Let each one imbibe godly values and virtues that is lacking in their lives now before marriage the time of marriage. There’s nothing as detrimental to a marriage when you esteem your sexual purity as the hallmark of worth which you possess while other areas of your life are deficient.

Are you a virgin with a virtue?
