What did he just say? That physical
00:00:02
intimacy outside of marriage is sinful
00:00:04
and meaningless. It corrupts the purity
00:00:06
of marriage. And I was really heated
00:00:08

00:00:12

00:00:15

00:00:17
sexual sin, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad,
00:00:19
vows happen, marriage happens, we commit
00:00:23
everything sexual, good, good, good,
00:00:25
good, good. The human mind doesn't work
00:00:27

00:00:30

00:00:33
unlearning to break the habit. The
00:00:35
values of purity culture are building
00:00:37
bad habits when it comes to physical,
00:00:39
romantic relationships and sex.
