Description
Ryan and Cindy Clark were among the millions of adolescents who made "Purity Pledges", meaning they promised their church and God to abstain from premarital sex. Violation could be grounds for eternal damnation. Fear, not personal values, was the actual enforcer. Meanwhile, most social functions and classrooms were coed, and dating was encouraged. Unlike other orthodox faiths, no one was expected to maintain a "plain" look in public or be reserved when fraternizing with the opposite sex. On the contrary, uncommitted young adults were supposed to be attractive and friendly without crossing obvious lines. The ultimate test was to want sex without having it.
A lifetime of blissful marital sex was the promised reward, but years of sexual dysfunction and shame proved to be the more likely outcome. Till Sex Do Us Part is the moving memoir about Ryan and Cindy's experiences as youth leaders in the heart of the purity culture movement and how their dream marriage had a rather disastrous start as the values they had been taught to ultimately took a toll on their relationship. But their story doesn't end in disaster. Embark on the tender odyssey of how the Clarks and build an authentic, vulnerable relationship that isn't built on shame.
