I never asked to be a 49-year-old virgin. I mean, who would?

We live in a world that is obsessed with sex. We are inundated with sexual images from commercials and Super Bowl halftime shows to movies like Fifty Shades of Gray. Yet, when I was sixteen, I made a vow to remain a virgin until I married.

What I could not know was that this decision would require a 33-year commitment on my part. Although my dream was delayed, I was not denied.

This theme was present throughout my life. Through it all, I learned that . . .

God's timing is always better than mine.


In this memoir, Perez discusses dating decisions she made as a teen. Unlike the movie, The 40-Year Old Virgin, she committed to daring Christian habits when she took a vow of abstinence before marriage. In her memoir, she shows how celibacy, a love story of boundaries in relationships, brings Christian joy for women and men too.
