The LDS Church has attracted a lot of attention in the blogosphere and in the press for its stands on marriage and chastity. The church teaches that sexual relations are reserved for legal marriage between a man and a woman.
Sexual relations in any other relationship are not permitted and participants in such relationships are subject to church discipline. The church follows scriptural injunctions against adultery and fornication.
It is distressing to me to see some members who claim fellowship in the church make defiant and rebellious statements about the church's positions.
This blog is intended to support men and women in their marriages and single men and women in their chastity. We recognize that the demands of the body and of the emotions are strong but we cherish the witness and faithfulness of obedient men and women who chose to remain chaste and in partnership with Jesus Christ, be masters of their urges and drives.
We also will address the challenges and opportunities of marital continence. We agree that marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled but we also believe that, in liberty, married couples may choose ennobling and exalting modes of intimate expression that add to the witness of faithful and obedient singles.
