I found an article on chastity before marriage. The article basically says that even couples that are strong in their faith are tempted very much to have sex before or outside of marriage. One of the main temptations is that people see that the Church has a negative view on sex before marriage and think, "How many years do we have to wait for this again?" They form a negative opinion on chastity. You need to have a different outlook on chastity. Without chastity we can't have strong marriages. Also, couples must view not having sex until marriage as an accomplishment and not as a "strikeout." To avoid these thoughts we must practice good self-discipline and avoid letting lust take over.
