"If you like me you'll......"

Today we would like to continue our discussion about purity focusing on our daughters. The last post we focused on our sons and talked about mental purity, today with the girls we would like to talk about emotional purity. Here is our primary point to this post:
 - If your daughters don't get the affection they need from their parents, they're going to look for it somewhere else!
This is particularly true for us fathers, there are numerous studies out there that show when our daughters look for a partner they look for a man that's like their father. On a side note, this is the reason why we have to set a excellent example for our daughter's of what a husband and father should be. Don't be afraid to go over board with your affection, give her so many hugs and kisses that she has to say, in that cute little voice; "Dad, stop" (and when she says that, she really doesn't mean it). Not only should she get that affection from you but she should see example's of the right kind of affection by you with your spouse. She should see how a woman should be treated by how you treat her mother, you want her to see that a woman should be treated with respect and dignity and receive proper love and affection. The best way to educate any child is by real life example's. TV, movies and the rest of society will show your daughters the wrong kind of affection, it's up to you to show her that they're a bunch of liars who don't know or understand true love!!
 - The second point we would like to make is this: what she learns while she is young will be her defense against attacks against her emotional purity when she is older. 
If she learns the right kind of affection and the right kind of love when she is young, she'll be able to shoot down all those clowns that will try and trick her. Teenage boys emotions run wild, we saw this in the last post, so when one might be with your daughter, they'll try everything under the sun to get some emotional and also physical affection. If she had no training when she was younger, she'll just think: "this is normal, so I'll just roll with it". In these kind of situations our daughters end up scaring themselves, putting them on a downward path that leads to misery and sadness. All those examples they saw when they were younger will give them the power and strength to say NO, and push that creepy little boy away. 
 - Teach her that she never has to do anything she doesn't want to do, and that she should never do anything outside of her comfort level.
The best way for her to avoid being put into any situation where she'll have to be tested is to not ever, let us repeat, not ever be alone with boys. There is no reason your young girl should be with a young boy, the emotions and urges are just too strong. At the risk of being an "uncool" parent, always say no to these situations. There are too many pitfalls in this world, let's not set our daughters up to fall through any of these by allowing them to go into compromising situations.
A wise man once said: "a good offense starts with a good defense", let's start playing defense as soon as their born! Let's teach them the keys to being emotional pure, that way we won't have the tragedy of our 16 year old daughter coming to us to tell us she's pregnant! Here's the questions: Are you teaching your children emotional purity? Are they seeing it in your life? If the answer is no, it's never too late to start!!
