Chip Ingram’s book entitled Love, Sex, and Lasting Relationships spoke mostly about romantic relationships. At first read, it seemed to focus on those who could not control themselves when it came to sex. Nearly five chapters lectured on not to have sex before marriage.
There was the example of a woman in her 30s who could not have sex with her husband because she had been with too many partners prior to marriage. Sex became meaningless to her.
There was the story of a man who regretted having sex with a woman named Mary before marriage. When the marriage was delayed, Mary met someone else. The guy became a sex addict. Mary later had an abortion and became a prostitute. The guy eventually married, but he did not love his wife. During the divorce, his wife turned from a trusting person to bitter and vindictive.
There was the jock who had sex multiple times a day until his heart got dull. He described the selfish sex as leaving pieces of cardboard of himself with women everywhere, and women in turn leaving pieces of themselves with him.
Was Chip Ingram describing relationships only in the romantic sense, or relationships in general?
