Keeping Your Virginity Till Early Adulthood Marriage Is Not To Be Applauded - Tochi Ike

Regina Daniels’ recent post about remaining a virgin until marriage inspired young women, but it also sparked criticism. One comment suggested, “The ladies that should be applauded for keeping virginity should be ladies who got married at age 25 or 27, not you that married at the age of 18.” This remark implies that a young adult’s commitment to abstinence is less praiseworthy simply because of her age.

However, personal choices like abstinence reflect values and self-discipline, regardless of when one marries. Applauding responsible decisions and respecting individual journeys can encourage more positive, supportive environments. It’s essential to honor personal achievements without assigning worth based on arbitrary factors, like age, which may ultimately diminish the choices of young adults who lead by example.
