• 71% signed commitments to choose abstinence until marriage

“I didn’t realize the dangers of having sex before marriage. Now I have a better understanding of the consequences and I plan to wait until marriage to become sexually active.”

“I’ve already had sex, but only once. I’ve decided to officially wait until I’m married to do it again. This program definitely made me think.”
