Another from A New Name, this time thinking about the importance of talking about sex. As we encourage discipling relationships across the generations within our church, this article highlights another reason why we should be cultivating these types of relationships. The articles finishes saying this, "So in the wisdom of Salt n Pepa: perhaps we ought to talk about sex... Maybe then we wouldn’t build up unrealistic expectations from the outside of marriage, nor feel burdened by them within it. Maybe more marrieds should have pints with unmarrieds. And maybe more couples should talk to trusted other couples in church...Together we can handle these kinds of conversations. Because if we don’t speak the gospel to each other in this area, the world will fill the gaps."

This article raises something helpful points about how the Bible should shape our thinking in the whole area of dating. A super article for those single, for those with teenagers and for those who disciple a younger woman.
