"I just reached a point where I thought, 'I know Jesus is in my heart and I know how I'm supposed to live, but for the past five or six years, I've just decided to ignore it, and something's got to change.'"
At the age of 24, Lowe admitted he "finally became a man," and thought to himself, "Alright, Jesus, let's do this again. I don't know who I would be without Jesus in my heart."
Lowe then decided he wanted to abstain from having sex again until marriage.
After appearing on Emily Maynard's edition of The Bachelorette, Lowe starred on the seventeenth season of The Bachelor. He wasn't sure if he had chosen the right and moral path for himself by doing another reality TV show and dating 25 women at once, but in the end, he found "the love of his life" and "best friend" in Giudici.
Prior to tying the knot in January, Giudici had expressed she was ready to honor Lowe and absolutely okay with his desire to avoid living together and having sex while engaged.
"Catherine and I are not having sex until marriage," Lowe recalled telling a media outlet when asked about his sex life.
Lowe said during his I Am Second video things spun out of control from that moment forward.
"It was just a firestorm. I mean, every tabloid had me on the cover and they labeled me 'the virgin Bachelor...' It was always brought up. They were just going to view me as a weirdo. I was labeled an outsider," he explained.
"But as annoying as it was, it's also been a great thing for me, because that's now a part of my testimony... I think now it's certainly more evident now than ever that I love Jesus, and I'm different because I love Jesus. I didn't give in to my sinful nature. As long as you stay in constant communication with God, He's going to get you through anything."
