If you care and love Him you'll obey Him and you won't feel tempted to stray away from His laws.

When it comes to touching and sex among unmarried people general society takes two approaches-one is that the person in question is sexually repressed. The other is the premise that the person is sexually overcharged. The themes in Billy Joel's "Only the Good Die Young" is a prime example. It could apply to chaste Jews and Mormons as well as Catholic. It's just plain sad that people can't understand that people live their faith and aren't abnormal, sexually repressed, over-sexed or suffer from an abberation like homosexuality. I know a lot of people who have the idea that "everyone" has used drugs, too. It’s sad that people can’t understand that others are capable controlling themselves.
