So true....so so true. A group of christian teenagers are the most sexually frustrated people on the planet. And they're not supposed to have premarital sex so they try to marry off as early as possible. So many christian couples get engaged in their late teens to early 20s and then start cranking out kids in their early twenties.
Going to a christian college is like the hunt for a husband not for a degree.
As for Joshua Harris...read his follow-up, Boy Meets Girl. Ugh...ugh ugh ugh. Even when I was a christian I found it way too extreme. Now that I've ditched it completely I find it even more out there, and basically a little insulting that there's no way to grow together emotionally etc. if you're physically involved. Sorry but that's so not true, unless you're truly controlled by your pants.
