In this week’s episode, we discuss abstinence and celibacy among singles. This is one of those topics that you either LOVE it or you HATE it! There is no in between on celibacy! I was honored to interview blogger and writer Monica Rose, the creator of The Joyful Single blog. She recently wrote a blog article entitled “My Celibacy Journey” and I wanted to have her on to discuss her experience with celibacy thus far. We have seen a resurgence with abstinence and celibacy in the last two years since Devon Franklin and his now wife Megan Good wrote a book called “The Wait”. In it, they both chronicled their journey to marriage while practicing abstinence and Devon had practice celibacy for many years before meeting Megan. It’s a great beginner’s guide to abstinence and I encourage you to pick up a copy of it if you’re interested in learning more!
