		<description>The idea that marriage is the best solution to sexual urges goes back at least to Paul, and is still going strong - Here's a quote from a book just published last year "Rethinking the Gift of Singleness"&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"Widely accepted in the church today is the view that singleness is a gift equal to marriage. The biblical benefits of marriage and God's command to marry have been severely downplayed. Guiding us through the Scriptures and dialoguing with experts, Debbie Maken exposes the erroneous thinking in our culture and helps restore a vision of God's design for marriage.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Here's another quote from "Get Married Young Man"&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"I've found that protection against sexual sin and the opportunity and the pleasure associated with monogamous sexual intimacy with the woman I love to be a very real benefit of marriage."&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I haven't seen it specifically applied to the issue of teenage sexuality, but it's a natural extension of that thinking.</description>

<p>&#8220;Widely accepted in the church today is the view that singleness is a gift equal to marriage. The biblical benefits of marriage and God&#8217;s command to marry have been severely downplayed. Guiding us through the Scriptures and dialoguing with experts, Debbie Maken exposes the erroneous thinking in our culture and helps restore a vision of God&#8217;s design for marriage.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another quote from &#8220;Get Married Young Man&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve found that protection against sexual sin and the opportunity and the pleasure associated with monogamous sexual intimacy with the woman I love to be a very real benefit of marriage.&#8221;</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t seen it specifically applied to the issue of teenage sexuality, but it&#8217;s a natural extension of that thinking.</p>
