What problems can arise from having sex before marriage ?

Answer 1

First you hurt Jehovah God's feelings. You hurt Jesus as well.
You could get a sexually transmitted disease and lose your life.You could get pregnant and it's so sad and horrible to see people abort their little babies !!! The list goes on and on.

Answer 2

Here's one perspective:

In Christianity the family came before any other institution: before cities, government, or even the church. It's a sacred thing.

Sex is what consummates two peoples relationship after marriage. In ancient times the best man would go in to check and see if the new wife was bleeding after the couple had sex the first time. If she was a virgin then she more than likely would be...I, for one, am so glad we don't have that practice anymore!

As far as problems that can arise: waiting until after marriage gives two people the opportunity to get to know each other, commit to each other, and then make dramatic plans for change in their lives all WAY before the sex thing comes to play. It's simply a healthy way to see if people are compatible.

Nobody is really compatible just because of great sex. Two people can learn to love each other over time.

Great question!

Answer 3

You have a baby....and...oh I don't know...that's when your life ends.


Look, if you have sex now (I mean go ahead if you want nobody's stopping you), then there's a good chance that you'll get pregnant (even if it IS protected sex). And even if you don't, there's also a good chance you could get a disease (not saying/implying that you will, because there are many who don't). But if you do get pregnant (well there's abortion, but you could be against it so I don't know) and decide to have the baby (not only your "man" COULD leave you) but you know....you have to leave school soon, and stay home, take care of that whining/crying/screaming baby, wake up in the middle of the night. It will bring you a lot of worries and a lot of other sh!t that you really don't need to deal with right now (though I don't know how old you are). It will be very hard, especially if you're still a teenager....or if you're in school (high school/college....they both count). Depending on your parents, they might be mad when they find out you're pregnant.

So like I said: you're life will be over (technically) unless you're a millionaire then go ahead have a baby.

Good luck.

Answer 4

It is true that people who have sex before marriage are less likely to actually get married. That's because now that they've satisfied the physical desires they have for each other, they now realize that they're no longer mentally or spiritually compatible for each other.

The main reason why the whole 'virgin' mentality was because there was no birth control. These days the only reason why it is enforced is to grant men more power over women. Your physical needs blind you, and you'll never know for sure if a man is right for you until these needs are out of the way. Its a great idea to be careful though :)

I'm sure its very romantic to take risks, roll the dice, and get married before sex on the faith that this guy is the 'right one'. You've got eyes, use them. Look around you at all of the unhappy.. no... miserable marriages of generations of people who make the same mistakes and rituals over and over and over again.

Answer 5

Debilitating emotional & sometimes physical scars. Children can be caught in the crossfire if any are brought into the picture. Even with the absence of children the process could damage your spirit especially if you are just being used and particularly if you are involved with an ungodly man. A godly guy is going to wait & respect you & the law of marriage that the Lord has established. An experience like that can & will follow you for the rest of your life. It is simply not worth it, and it is not Gods BEST for your life. So choose wisely in your youth because it will be with you forever. I think the bible sums it up really well ***Flee from sexual immorality.All other sins a man commits are outside of his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his/her own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of The Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price.......therefore Honor God with your body......1Corinthians 6: 18-20 <>< <>< By the way if you have the knowledge & truth of Gods word on this.....then you wont have to waste your time with the answers that are coming from some of the (dingalings) ~ God Bless~ <><

Answer 6

From the book, "Good News about Sex & Marriage" by Christopher West:

"2. Marriage certificate.

When a bride and groom stand at the altar and declare their consent before the Church, it’s not merely a formal recognition of something that already exists between them. At the moment they give their consent, bride and groom are fundamentally changed. They become right then and there (and only then and there) husband and wife. What did not exist five minutes before does exist now- a marital bond sealed by the Holy Spirit that, once consummated, can never be dissolved by anything but death.

Sexual intercourse is the expression of this bond. It’s the visible sign of this invisible reality. If this bond doesn’t exist between a man and a woman, sexual intercourse between them is utterly void of its ‘raison d’etre.’

Regardless of how much passion, feeling, and sentiment may be involved, such acts of intercourse can never be acts of true love. If the couple understand what sex and marriage mean, and live out of respect for that meaning, then the thought that they would have sex before God establishes the marriage bond between them (via their consent) is unthinkable.

A couple who is regularly engaging in sex before they marry, and sees nothing wrong with it, demonstrates that they don’t understand the meaning of sex and marriage. Such a couple will most likely fail to comprehend the significance of the marriage bond altogether. They’ll tend to reduce the change in their relationship to a piece of paper --- a “Marriage Certificate” --- and continue having sex as they always did.

The fact that the couple is now married does not automatically make their sexual union what it’s supposed to be. Sex is only what it’s supposed to be if it expresses the commitment to free, total, faithful, and fruitful self-giving. There are many married couples who have plenty of sex that actually violates their own wedding vows. The fact that it’s happening after the wedding has taken place doesn’t make it OK.

Instead of framing the discussion in terms of premarital sex vs. post marital sex, it’s much more accurate to speak of non-marital sex vs. marital sex. It’s impossible for unmarried ppl to have marital sex. They have no marriage bond to express, no wedding vows to renew. On the other hand, while the existence of marriage bond is no guarantee that sex will always be marital, it is absolute prerequisite for the possibility."

Answer 7

First of all, there are so many diseases out there. Your body is the temple of God and it should be pure and holy if you are a child of God. Unfortunately many of us don't discover this until we've already been out there, and thank God for forgiveness. The Bible says that if you lay with someone then the two will become one in Spirit. So, think of all the spirits that are in one person who has slept around and then sleeps with another and all those different spirits and things get in you.
That is why God wants us to get married and have that special bond between husband and wife. The two will become one. Don't you want to be one with your husband/wife. That is a holy and pure thing. I love to be one with my husband and I thank God for having someone who loves me as much as he does.

Answer 8

Nothing that can't arise from having sex after pregnancy - disease, pregnancy, chaffing, etc....

But if you are a devout Christian a problem CAN arise that won't arise for many others --- GUILT. As a Christian you are shamed into thinking something completely natural is an abominable sin.

Answer 9

There are a few, but I can think of many, many more problems that can arise from getting married so you can have sex without being judged by equally sinful, judgemental pr1cks.

Answer 10

How about a 20-year commitment to a life form whether you want one or not?
