7. Principle 2: Parents are the principle sex educators
Who’s role is it? Parents, school, servant, media …
No one has impact on children like parents and hopefully their servants
Avoiding the topic means: - frustration, - confusion, - insecurity, - children will conclude that you are not the right source since you avoid the subject.
Some think that it is all about “sex proofing” children through the teen years, it is about preparing them to handle god’s gift of sexuality, experiencing the fullness of god’s blessing as they get engaged and marry and have children
When children start learning about sexuality? Very early! They learn from watching how parents deal with each other
Change the way you think about sex education it is all about preparing children to taste the fullness of god’s blessings

Do not wait until teenage years to have ‘the talk’, too late!! others have planted already in your child.
Your silence is not just absence it has other meanings to the child

12. Principle 7: Positive messages are powerful
We miss the point when we teach ‘don’t’ list.

13. Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 31 "FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH." 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
