REVIEW
Over the last several weeks we’ve talked in our series, The New Rules for Love Sex and Dating, about how our view of women and understanding of sex can have huge implications on becoming the person the person we’re looking for is looking for. We’ve said it’s not about finding the right person, it’s about becoming the right person:

-If we’re single, it means we’re preparing ourselves well for a future relationship.

- If we’re married, it means we’re a work in progress becoming who we should be in our current relationship.

- It also means if we’re a parent, we’re helping our kids make wise decisions to become the right person.

One of the ways we end up getting tripped up is in the area of sexual sin, and we talked specifically about what we see and hear with media. Many around us believe porn is harmless, but it often causes so much pain and hurt in relationships. It teaches us so many harmful patterns that actually erode intimacy. Kids are viewing porn earlier and earlier, and increasingly sexting, sending inappropriate pictures via snapchat and more.
