The most important factor in success or failure in life is preparing yourself for marriage with abstinence and character development and then finding a God-centered marriage partner. Many young adults are struggling with this, and the role of parents in helping them is crucial.
The Urban Life Training Program is an abstinence-centered education program. The program consists of three parts:
1. Classroom Relationship Intelligence Education
2. Peer Counseling
3. STAR (Students Teaching Abstinence and Responsibility) Leadership Clubs
Richard Urban overviews the program as a practical way to address the core issue of family breakdown and to help youth succeed.
Whereas parents are the primary teachers of their children and whereas virtually all parents want their children to abstain from sexual activity while of school age; and being that the purpose of sexual health education is to help youth succeed in life, and whereas premature sexual activity is correlated with increased use of alcohol and drugs, poor academic performance, emotional stress, increased risk of suicide, infection with sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy;
Be it hereby resolved by (fill in name of the Board of Education) that:
The primary purpose of all sexual education curricula in (fill in jurisdiction) will be to teach the benefits of abstaining from all types of sexual activity and physical sexual contact while of school age.
Marriage will be presented as an attainable goal and the appropriate and morally acceptable place for sexual activity when we become legal adults, and also as the most beneficial arrangement for the children that may be born to married parents.
Since the discussion of same-sex attraction and gender identity is not conducive to these goals and same-sex attraction cannot be confirmed without physical sexual contact, these topics will not be included in the sexual education curriculum.
Further, the prevention of child abuse, through affirming each child’s agency, is an important goal of sexual health education.
Therefore, young children will be taught that no one should touch them in the area covered by their bathing suit. Older children will be taught that no one should touch their sexual organs or other body parts in any way inappropriately.
