To act on physical desire alone is mindless. And true love cannot suddenly blossom in the space of five sentences-(regardless of their length and complexity). Immediacy and risktaking should play no part in the decision to share oneself in this most intimate sense. To slowly develop a relationship, to take the time to know and care and commit, will bring a far greater reward than leaping into immediate gratification, out of a fear that you might miss something by waiting. Why do you see risktaking as gaining something that might otherwise be lost by moving more slowly and with more care? If there is true worth there, then isn't it worth the investment?

I have never been able to believe that commitment can exist without marriage. When someone says they're not ready for marriage, it's a clear sign that they're not ready to fully commit. I have a problem with teens saying they're "committed" to a relationship when they are still dependent on home and parents, and their lives are so unformed. If they need to be careful of parents' concerns, neither of them is in a position for a mature, committed relationship that includes sex. I'm not saying that I think I can stop my boys, but I certainly don't buy into the argument that they are ready or that it is right.
