According to the secular culture, premarital sex is the definition of freedom. Not only is that a lie, but promiscuity leads to enslavement to one’s lust. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Sean McDowell, author of Chasing Love, shares with Dr. Tim Clinton that true freedom is restraining your sexual impulses until marriage. Life-long commitment is God’s design for intimacy. Genesis 2:24 says, “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.”
