Geared toward high school and college-age audiences, Love is Patient counsels young adults on the importance of sexual integrity before and after marriage. Championing abstinence, the program presents startling statistics on STDs, along with comments from educators and students who share personal experiences while exploring the physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual aspects of a sexual relationship. Offering a non-denominational religious perspective, the approach here treats sex as a personal, private experience to be shared between committed married couples as opposed to the one-night-stands so pervasive in modern media. Great photography, editing, and scripting, combined with a solid discussion guide, make this an excellent abstinence video for public, school (where allowed), and church library collections. Highly recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
