"Holding back" isn't just about discipline; it’s about respect. It’s about respecting your girlfriend, her family, and yourself. Character is defined by what we do when we are tempted. By choosing to prioritize your commitment over a fleeting attraction, you prove your maturity and the value you place on your relationship.
