If sex is your test for whether or not you want to marry someone then no wonder we have a 50% divorce rate in the US

I'm sure you've read my question on this!!! No where in the Bible does it say thou shalt not have premarital sex. People can twist the words of the Bible around all they want and say that this is what God meant by this or whatever they want to say, but the bottom line is, I think God knows what he meant to say. And NO WHERE can anyone quote me a verse that says thou shalt not have premarital sex. But I have read a lot about men having concubines and so forth. And I have read where Jesus said let he without sin cast the 1st stone!!!!!!! And I have read Leviticous chapters 20 and 21 which has very specific rules reguarding sex; e.g. A man shall not lye with another man. A man shall not lye with his sister. A man shall not lye with his fathers wife, and it goes on from there. Great sex makes for a great relationship. And these so called christians are awful judgemental. The Bible also says judge not lest yea be judged.

I don't think premarital sex is bad for several reasons.
#1- people had sex before they had marriage.(before marriage was ever thought of. religion and custom began marriage)
#2-It would be much bette rto have sex and find out if yuo were compatible for each other than to marry and find out you were not.(many people simply are not good for each other sexually.)
#3-premarital is no ones business but the two engaged in it (unless they are minors or not of the right mind.).
#4-Premarital sex is natural. The sex drive is builkt ihto humans just like other mamals and we had nothing to do with that. it was evolution. Humans just evolved it into a more of an intertanment trait./event.
#5-Nothingis going to stop sex between humans so lets leav eit alone if it's between tow adults or couples oold enough. It's much easier, safer,and smarter to teach birth control and good sex practices than to try to change something you are not going to change.

I agree with the answers you've received about basing sex as a guideline for a possible spouse. There is so much more to a relationship.
As to Biblical teachings, there is a sin referred to in the Bible called fornication - having sex with anyone other than your spouse.
All that aside, there are so many STD's out there.
It's just not a good move.
So to answer your question, yes I believe sex before marriage is wrong.

Yea, i would have to agree with the other responses. Sex isn't something that should be the deciding factor for marriage or not. Honestly if that is your reasoning then why even consider the act of marriage when it is meant to be a special bond between two people who love each other dispite their differences and shortcomings. Your question just tells me and everyone else who reads it that you aren't being fair to your partner or to yourself as well as being shallow; no offense. All im saying is that sex shouldnt be a deciding factor in a relationship and if you are considering marrying your partner it should be because you love him/her unconditionally, taking the good with the bad. I wish you luck with your decision.

Yes, I do believe that premarital sex is bad. I do not believe in the "try before you buy" method. I do not condone anyone who has premarital sex, whether or not they get pregnant or get some filthy, disgusting disease. I am going to wait until I get married because that is what I believe and what my religion says to do. If I never get married, that means I will not have sex. I could care less about sex anyway. I have more important things to think about.

I don't think premarital sex is bad. People are marring later and sex is just a natural part of human psyche. Sex is important for human growth, and if one denies themselves these pleasures then they will become less human/ unstable.
If you cannot know how your lover will treat you in bed, you won't know if he/she is "the one". Sex brings out the best and worse in people, if they treat you poorly then you'd be screwed.
But marriage doesn't mean anything nowadays, divorce rates surpass lasting marriages.

I personally believe that marriage is not about sex, and in order for a marriage to be healthy the sex doesn't have to be "good."
My friends and I have talked about this many times. If you love someone, the sexual intercourse is going to be good, because you are in love.
When it's just about sex, and there is no love, that is when the sex is only about pleasure.
Marriage should not be based on sex.

Sex is biological. Billions and billions have had sex without being married. You should be thinking about the virtues of a partner as a parent.

If you need to marry someone based on how they perform in bed I dont think that's a very sturdy foundation for a marraige. I did not sleep with my husband before we married, and we have more respect for each other because it was special- a thing we saved for husband and wife. Not just people fooling around and sleeping with people trying to find their better half based on sexual gratification.
