What to Say When Things Are Going Too Far

• "I don't want to do that. I don't think that's a good idea."

• "I don't believe in doing this before marriage. Why do you?"

• "Whoa—We need to slow it down."

• "Stop that!"

• "I gotta go. Excuse me." (Then leave the room immediately.)

• Back away and say, "That is too much."

• "I'm flattered that you feel that way, but I think if you and I both take a step back, we will see that this is not a good idea and is against God's law."

• "I'm not ready for that yet, but I may be one day. Let's take it easy on that stuff until then, okay?"
