Taking the sexual abstinence movement to a whole new level is what’s called the “Virgin Lips Movement.” The Tennessean in Nashville, Tenn., recently explored how some conservative Christians choose not to kiss until their wedding ceremony.

“It was so important to me because I felt a kiss was something very intimate, and something I wanted to give only to one man, to my husband,” said Katy Kruger, who married her husband, Ernie, in December at Harpeth Hills Church of Christ in Brentwood, Tenn.

“He thought it was so special, and he was so proud to be able to be the only man I will ever kiss.”

Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Al Mohler weighed in with his support in a column on albertmohler.com: “In an age of instant sexual gratification, these young believers believe that true lips wait. This is what a counter-revolution looks like.”
