“The Church must never lack the courage to propose the precious virtue of chastity , even though this is now in direct contrast with the common mentality”.

We read in the document of the Dicastery for the Laity which traced the new lines for preparing for marriage.

The Church therefore does not resign: "It is worthwhile to help young spouses to know how to find the time to deepen their friendship and to welcome the grace of God. Certainly premarital chastity favors this path ".

Finally, the clarification: "Even if you find yourself talking to cohabiting couples, it is never useless to talk about the virtue of chastity".

According to the Vatican, a sexual education oriented towards a " conjugal vision of love " is necessary. It serves to defuse the two dangers for young people: “On the one hand, the spread of a hedonistic and consumerist mentality that deprives them of any ability to understand the beautiful and profound meaning of human sexuality. On the other hand, the separation between sexuality and the 'forever' of marriage ”.
