How Much is Virginity Worth?

	Woman to Auction Virginity for 3.6 Million Dollars But What's the Long-term Price by Brian Housman

Some people are responding to the state of the economy in unusual ways. Take Natalie Dylan, 22-year-old San Diego woman for instance. She recently placed her virginity up for auction. That's right, her virginity. And so far the bidding stands at 3.6 million dollars.

Here is a gift that God intended to be shared with her future spouse that instead ends up on the auction block. As if this is nothing more than a financial transaction.

A transaction yes, but one of priceless worth. To attempt to put a price on it (even one as high as 3.6M) only serves to demean it. This is a transaction that for a young Jewish couple in biblical days would be years in planning, met with much anticipation, and as evidenced by Song of Solomon, sometimes leave one another speechless. I can't remember ever buying something that left me speechless.

A Gift Only Your Teen Can Give

There has been much talk lately on the news about teens and virginity pledges. Do they work? Do they not? But there is better question to be asked: Does it really matter? As a teen does your virginity have any worth. That's a great question to ask your teen this week. Go to FoxNews and pull up the story. Then ask your teen, "What kind of price should someone pay in order for you to be willing to give them a priceless gift that only you can give?" Look them in the eyes and tell them in your own words about the gift that God has given them to give to their future spouse. And it's okay if you get a little speechless.
