It seems many who call themselves Christians today are some of the same people who embrace a lifestyle of banging random girls while single, and "commiting" themselves to one partner, only when in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Marriage is not about sex anymore, it seems to have been reduced to a meaningless instituion.
The culture decided that sex is natural and therefore good, so it seems that in the name of this, it has been trivialised. How did that happen, and why do so many would be Christians feel that they know better than the wisdom of the ages much less what has been taught as the will of their God for 2 millinia.
And beside that, what happened to a lifetime commitment to One other person. To share sex with one other person in life, till death do you part? When did this cease to be important?

I completely agree w/you. By God's will love,sex,and marraige were created. It's such a sad state of affairs when His precious hopes for us have been reduced to material for a Jerry Springer show.I can only imagine how much this breaks His heart.
Sorry I couldn't give you an answer,I'm asking the same questions.

Yes it seems to be only in the vows that people take when they decide to marry that is spiritual merging . After that it is just sex to satisfy physical hunger and to create children to pass on your genetic history under the blessing of some religion.
The committing part comes by staying together and going through the trials and tribulations of life that the two people regain the spiritual meaning of marriage. If it can last that long. Most people seem to be only able to be faithful to each other for 3to 5 yrs .then to much togetherness drives them apart. Plus the push and pull of being able to like or love more than one person for different reasons adds to the stress of one on one commitment.

if the relationship is from God and you honor that by waiting he will bless it! I am a christian and have been abstinate for 12 years until 2 years ago Jezebel tricked me and I sliped! and believe me when you sow the wind you reap the whirl wind!

when was marriage ever about sex???? you sure have the wrong idea about it. believe me sex has never been limited to married couples or even the opposite sex, you should wake up and read a little greek history. god has nothing what so ever to do with it,

don't overgeneralize.......and I'm still a virgin....no "random banging" (and I'm a Christian)....and why does it matter if you have sex after marriage or not.....that's the couple's own private matter.....it's the premarital sex that's the issue

As we, as a race, learned more about ourselves, we discovered sex can be many, many other things. But its still that too.
