BOUNDARIES: Saving Yourself Until Marriage is a powerful book that encourages Christ-centered dating. This relationship study guide provides dating tips for remaining celibate and a frank discussion on the taboo topics in religious circles of masturbation and pornography. Individuals may use the book. However, reading this book in small groups will provide the added benefit of discussion and accountability.

The tips in this book are from a Biblical perspective. The author breaks down the acronym BOUNDARIES using a study guide format. In addition, she addresses singles choosing abstinence after having sex (whether the sex was by choice or force). She reminds the reader that it’s never too late to choose the path of celibacy.

The author's discussion of pornography and masturbation provides food for thought and a warning of how these areas can work against the goal of saving yourself until marriage.

Dr. Paula is qualified to address this topic because she lived it. When she was sixteen, she made a vow not to have sex until she married. She had to wait decades for this promise to be fulfilled. However, throughout her journey she remained celibate. You can read about it in her memoir, 49-Year-Old Virgin: Delayed Not Denied.
