The top reasons...
1. A bad experience like they had as a kid.
2. Loss of control.
3. That they'll get stuck with some weirdo.
4. That someone might think they're gay.
5. That they'll become “soft”.
6. That church is too tough on single guys.
7. That people will think they're "not getting much sex."
8. The church is full of hypocrites.
9. That all the church wants is money.
10. They're jealous of their wives' attachment to Jesus
11. The behavioral standards are too high.
12. They're afraid of heaven.
Fascinating...I'll have to check out the book just to see where and how he did his research.
