The Emotocoaster and Emotional Chastity

I would like to share an article that describes perfectly what emotional chastity is and what it is not. The author of this article actually lives in Atchison, KS! Her husband teaches at Benedictine College. This article is written in a perspective for girls, but guys can also read it and understand some of the same types of concepts. 

Sarah Swafford describes emotional virtue (or chastity) in this way, "Emotional virtue is all about realigning our own hearts in hopes of realigning our relationships with one another. Emotions are not bad and shouldn’t be suppressed. Emotions and passions are good and give us zeal and “fire” for life! But if we aren’t in control of our emotions (harnessing them and training them) then they will control us; and when they control us, we are no longer free to love. Emotional virtue, therefore, frees us to truly love with an undivided heart." The following article discusses a lot of modern concepts and puts them into perspective. It is an entertaining and cute article, but it also discusses a lot of important issues in today's social climate.
