Jesus said:
"Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not give false testimony" Mt. 19;18
"Honor your father and mother, and Love your neighbor as yourself" Mt. 19;19
"Give to Caesar what is Caesar's" Mt. 22;21
If the law (Caesas back then) allows me to have intercourse before marriage, and i follow the other statements above, then i'm fine! Fornication is the Caesar's business, not God's, and i love my parents above everything else, I don't steal, I dont lie, I mever mur... Oh, well, let's leave that to the Caesar too. Dont ask :)
If there is a passage where JESUS (not Paul, or other imposter) says I have to marry for sex to destroy/improve my relationship or that there is someone more important than my parents, them I'll jump out of christianty becauseJesus would prefered a sincere, ethic agnostic that respects him for what he was (an example for us all) than an hipocrite Catholic, which he alreadyhas quite a few hundreds. Or thousands. Or...
Have fun! ;D

Of course you can sin! That's your God-given right! He gave you free will to choose what you will do and what you will believe. The problem comes in that you KNOW to do right and you are obviously choosing NOT to do it! Why are you trying to twist words and justify your own desires? You know what God's word says. You are quoting it!
He warns us of the dangers of stealing, murdering, etc. the same way your loving parents instructed you as a child not to run out into the road & get hit by a car. Though your own personal free will might have felt "violated" they knew what was best for you and you are alive today because of your obedience. It's just the same with God. Obey & live or disobey & die.
Or course there are hypocrites in every church, that doesn't invalidate those who are true Christians.

Jesus' ultimate message was to love. Do you love her? Does she love you? Great!
Who cares if the laws says you're not married. All Jesus would have asked was how commited are you in loving?
PS-"Give Caesar's to Caesar" means moneywise not the the law is the truth to live by.

this is very clever reasoning,albeit not original.
have u heard of Cretans and the paradox of the cretans.
The Cretan Paradox is attributed to the Cretan poet Epimenides [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epimenides_paradox]. Epimenides the Cretan says "All Cretans are liars." This statement, because it was uttered by a Cretan, is true if and only if it is false. (But see below...)
that is what you are trying to do.however it can never justify the fanct that sin is sin, and God detests it.
your problem is not the Catholic church. yyou are the problem.God is not calling you to be ARoman Catholic.He is calling you to be a son, by repenting.
stop the fight!
