SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE

3/5/2014

 
The Bible specifically prohibits sex before marriage (1 Corinth. 7:2, 1 Corinth. 6:18, 1 Thess. 4:3, Eph. 5:3). Many are appalled at this commandment, but when we begin to understand WHY God said this, we know that it is for our good.

50% of marriages end in divorce. Why?? Because they've already done everything a married couple does (had sex, have children, live together, etc.). There's nothing else to look forward to. The only thing 'new' about their honeymoon was the location. Some people find it so hard to leave a relationship that they know they shouldn't be in, simply because the 'sex is good' to them. (Could you imagine how much easier the breakup could've been if sex was not involved?) Now to the defense of many, they say "If I'm gonna marry this person and spend the rest of my life with them, I need to know that the sex is gonna be good to me". So if the sex is NOT good, you're NOT gonna marry them?? If you're shallow enough to leave somebody because of sex, then I think it's the OTHER person dodging a bullet, not you. NEWS FLASH: Marriage is not all about sex! If you truly love your significant other unconditionally, knowing before hand that the sex is good or bad, really has no purpose. 

Now let's discuss the terms 'good sex' and 'bad sex'. These are comparative terms. The way we know if the sex is good or bad, is because we're comparing it to our past experiences! There's no such thing as 'bad' sex. God created sex and everything He created, He said, "Behold, it is good" (Genesis 1). Sex is seen as better or worse when it is compared to somebody else, and that's not the way God intended sexuality to be. 

God wants men and women to enjoy sexual activity within the confines of marriage. If the Bible's message on sex before marriage were obeyed, there would be far fewer sexually transmitted diseases, far fewer abortions, far fewer unwed mothers and unwanted pregnancies, and far fewer children growing up without both parents in their lives. Abstinence is God’s only policy when it comes to sex before marriage. Abstinence saves lives, protects babies, gives sexual relations the proper value, and, most importantly, honors God. Wait until marriage, (reader)! God bless.
