As a Christian parent, how do I talk to my daughter about sex?

I am concerned that my daughter is having sex with her boyfriend of eight months. He is 17 and she is 16, and they are both mature. She is a Christian as well, and has promised earlier to wait until marriage. How do I confront her, and in the event that she is having sex, what should I do? I don't want to alienate her, but I also don't want her having sex until marrage.As a Christian parent, how do I talk to my daughter about sex?
Did you wait until marriage? If you did then encourage her to follow your example. If not then you cant expect her to. Its very rare for people to wait until marriage these days. If she is having sex talk to her about it and be sure it is safe sex. Dont make her feel guilty about it. Christians have sex too!As a Christian parent, how do I talk to my daughter about sex?
Throw her a condom and see where it goes.
Be realistic. Studies show the biggest problems come from parents being too ';just don't have sex'; instead of actually educating their kids on prevention measures like birth control and condoms. I know it is ideal for parents to want to encourage waiting until marriage but sometimes people make the opposite decision.





Whatever your daughter chooses or chose, be encouraging of her to make the right decision and educate her on the serious consequences (STIs, pregnancy, etc.). Just never, ever make a kid feel guilty. This often leads to them being too humiliated or embarrassed/ashamed to go into the store and buy condoms or ask doctors for birth control. Sadly, that embarrassment and lack of education is what really leads to problems, not the act of sex alone.





Also, maybe talk to his parents IF you are close. If not, don't do it.
when it comes to sex just be open about it ur religion should stop u from being open with her i mean it is what it is and theres no sugar coating it. My family are christians too and my mom is very open about it! Just go over her values and dont go ballistic on her if she is having sex with him she is playing an adult game so she needs to respect it and take responsibility for her actions as her mom u can just be there for her. talk about the pill and other contraceptions and about how she feels. be sure to let her know that u r there for her whenever she needs u. Im 18 and still go to my mom for these things. My mom started this conversation when i was like 6 of course it wasnt detailed as it is now but i still knew the basics. the most important thing to do is trust her and trust urself that you've done ur part in parenting her.
Daughters follow their mother. If the mother is a whore the daughter will become a whore. That is how I look at it. Be an example. Don't flirt with men who aren't your husband. Don't have male friends so she won't be tempted to have male friends. Tell her the reality of teenage pregnancy, AIDS, HIV, sexually transmitted diseases. Get pictures off the Internet of various STDs and show them to her, while telling her that is what she'll look forward to if she engages in pre marital sex. Tell her that condoms are not 100% effective and that there is no chance that her ';lover'; will stick by her side if she gets pregnant before marriage. Tell her how hard it will be to graduate high school and go to college if she gets pregnant before marriage.
theology of the body and Christopher West? Sex is a renewal of marriage vows it doesn't make sense if you aren't married. Also you want to save it for your spouse because you only have it one time. Sex has serious consequences like children and STDs. Is she ready for a baby? At the same time the society we live in doesn't make purity and chastity easy. It's hard when all the other girls are ';advertising'; and we can't. Why would some guy want to commit to us when he can get it for free somewhere else? At the same time 16 is too young to be having sex Christian or not. If she has confront her. Make her break up with her boyfriend, or at the very least ground her and don't leave them alone together.
No offense but wanting her to wait for marriage to have sex, and her wanting to wait for marriage to have sex are two different things. She's 16 and legally can have sex with a guy that is 17. Personally, it's not really any of your business if she is or isn't having sex. The most you can do is be there, be supportive and give her methods to ensure she is practicing safe sex.
You can encourage her to wait till marriage but you also have to think realistically and think about how she might not end up waiting to marriage.


You need to tell her that if/when she decides to have sex she needs to be careful and that by telling her this you aren't encouraging her to have sex but that you want her to always be careful when she does.





Explain birth control and condoms and that they always need to be used when having sex, even in marriage. Marriage does not = babies.





I am 20 and I want to get married within the next few years hopefully by 25 but I do not want kids till I am 30 or older.


I am going to be a cop and I want to be a cop as long as possible, till retirement age.
