As you build towards sexual integrity, it's best to have an accountability group or accountability partner to help you throughout the process. And Melissa Manor shares more about the positives of having an accountability partner for women.
An accountability partner isn't someone who's going to "tell you off" or lecture you on what's good or bad, or what you should and shouldn't do. An accountability partner is someone you will journey with as you sift through the challenges today's world and culture pose.
Women in particular have a more difficult time to come forward with questions about their sexual integrity due to the surmounting pressure brought about by peers and society in general. This is why having a Women's Accountability Partner makes a world of difference.
