Church guy here again:
When physical intimacy is on pause, you’re forced to see your partner clearly. It removes the easy "glue" and tests what’s actually underneath.
Without sex blurring your judgment, the real questions get answered:
• Do we actually enjoy each other's personalities?
• How do we handle conflict when we're upset?
• Is there real substance here, or just chemistry?
From a Catholic perspective this isn't about restriction, it is about protection.
Lemme outline why it matters:
1. Chastity creates freedom. It stops two people from accidentally using each other for physical pleasure, allowing them to love each other as actual human beings.
2. Sex is a total gift. Intimacy says "I give all of myself to you forever." Keeping sex out of dating keeps your actions aligned with your current reality until full commitment is made.
3. Building Agape over Eros. Passion (Eros) is great, but self-sacrificing love (Agape) is what survives hard times. Pausing the physical forces you to build selfless love first.
If a relationship can't survive without sex, it wasn't going to survive with it anyway. You don't have to agree with what I say, but I don talk wetin Mother Church talk and I accept it.
