Every tv show and movie depicts relationships in the same way. It’s always two people who just met each other, who have sex right away, and end up in a relationship soon after.

Real life doesn’t work this way. Sex does not guarantee a happy or healthy relationship. Getting to know someone, taking things slow, and seeing if you’re compatible with that person works 100% better.

Trust me, as someone who participated in hookup culture, I felt completely empty and used. It had a permanently negative effect on how I view and trust men.

God doesn’t want us to use and hurt each other. He wants us to love each other and be each other’s life partners. He wants us to serve one another.
