Lately, while showering my wife as part of our routine after about seven months in chastity, I asked her if she’d prefer to return to the way things were before. She said no and turned it back on me; I also felt a bit hesitant when agreeing with that sentiment. Progress has been quicker than anticipated, bringing to mind all those warnings about getting what you wish for.
We discussed why I was unsure, comparing our experiences and appreciating how chastity has altered our bond positively. Our intimacy is deeper now than it’s been in over two decades—perhaps even more so than during courtship or early marriage. She adores my treatment of her, while a single glance from her can send me into a frenzy. Given the upsides without significant drawbacks, we see no need to change.
This conversation sparked my question for her, which she couldn’t fully answer on the spot, so I’m posing it here now: If chastity has worked this well for your marriage or partnership, would you advise telling your adult children about it (or perhaps recommending it) so they can reap similar benefits?
Having read many accounts at this forum, I know our situation isn’t rare; numerous people feel chastity was the best thing to happen to them. Since parents naturally want what’s best for their offspring, shouldn’t we share how well this approach has served us?
My kids are still relatively young (ages 9–20). While I’m unsure of my exact method if I decide to broach it, I believe suggesting they adopt some aspects could improve their own relationships. What is your take?
