Christian sexual morality might have been seen as repressive by the licentious, but it was a gift from God for their victims.

Christianity defends the weak against the strong.

I've come to believe that humans evolved to mate for life. Some animals, like white tail deer, roundup a new harem every year. Other animals, like cardinals, choose one mate for life. I believe humans are like cardinals.

Most people get married and stay married for life. Even the marriages that end in divorce usually don't involve infidelity. It is in our nature to be monogamous. Establishing a permanent relationship based on total trust and honesty is the only way to achieve happiness and satisfaction. Traditional Judeo-Christian morality is an excellent reinforcement of our instinctive natures.

That statement hit me right between the eyes, too. Excellent talking point
which I plan to use in debates with “progressive” friends.
Metaxas is a gem, and this Mathew Reuger book he recommends sounds worthwhile.
