A couple of weeks ago we had the opportunity to discuss in class about sex and how sacred that is in the plan of God. I thought it was very appropriate and although for some it was uncomfortable it led me to believe that maybe most of us in class weren't taught the appropriate way of when to have sex or why we do. I mean it was sort of obvious with how most of us didn't comment or say anything.
It seems as though parents are beginning, if not already, to talk freely about sex to their children now days and I believe it's great. The question that came up was, are they taught to use contraception at any time if they want? or are they taught that they are to be married before engaging in sex activities? The answer is obvious and that is that the world understand it to be good and that they should encourage their children to have sex using contraception and what not to prevent pregnancy.
Clearly this is not the intent of the plan of salvation. Another question that came to me was, are our children aware of this issue? I will make sure that our home is a place of the spirit where love abides and where questions and the concerns of our children are being addressed. We need to understand that our children are sensitive and can learn really fast about these issue, and if we are not teaching them the right way, then we might be too late and suffer the consequences upon our own heads. Home is where these issues should be addressed and taught.
