Do you think couples should have sex before marriage?

Answer 1

Taste the milk before you buy the cow, I believe is the term? If you actually plan on getting married, why not wait? So few people nowadays get to have a "real" wedding night, and I do think they are special.

Answer 2

If I'm being religious then no, however then I'd be a hypocrite. I guess it depends on the couple. Sex is more important to some people then others. If sex is important to you for more then just reproduction then yes maybe you should test the waters before marriage. Going through a divorce over bad sex doesn't sound fun, but that may end up being the case if sex is important to you and it unfortunately doesn't turn out the way you'd hope.

Answer 3

i think it's pretty unrealistic to expect people to wait anymore. I have a few reasons for saying this. First, couple's are getting married for the first time later in life now than ever before. Most of us are not getting married at 18 anymore like past generations did. Also, notice i said "married for the first time". I mean what is the point of making that particular detail the basis for a successful marriage when so many people are getting divorced because of things like infidelity, addiction, abuse, etc etc. So i find it ignorant to place false importance on something like whether or not you slept together beforehand being an important component in the success or failure of a marriage. There are bigger fish to fry....

Answer 4

I think it's just a personal choice. It can make people feel emotionally closer together, but it can also make the breakup that much harder. Another "con" to it is that (in my opinion) is that you don't want sex to become something that you do so casually that it puts you at risk for STDs and/or takes the personal, emotional, and very special intimacy out of it. On the other hand, if you have sex before marriage, you both get a feel (no pun intended) for what kind of lover the other person is(do they pay attention to your needs?) and if there are major problems with your sex life that you think are irresolvable, you find out before you get married.

Answer 5

Absolutely. Sex is an integral part of a relationship. I think that if two people don't have a sexual relationship before they marry and then consummate the relationship after marriage and don't like each other sexually, that can lead to problems in the marriage. Many marriages have broken up because of sexual issues. I think a couple has to know each other sexually and LIKE each other sexually in order to have a healthy relationship.

Answer 6

Because I am Christian I don't think that sex before marriage is a good idea. But there have been some who say that it is better to test the waters to make sure you are compatible. what happens if you marry someone who you are compatible with or who does not please yousexually. i know that sex is not the most important part of a relationship but it is a key point. but the choice remains with the two involved. it is truly no one elses business.

Answer 7

well interesting question, here is what i think:

would you buy a car before you test drive it, probably not so its the same as sex. if you don't have sex before marriage and wait til you are married then if you don't like the sex with your partner you made a huge mistake

Answer 8

I think that it would be cooler to wait til marriage but everyond does there own thing and we can't expect everyone to live by the same convictions. I personally am ttrying to save myself til I'm married because I want my first experience and all the rest after that to be with the same man so I can't compare and neither can he. (that's not the only reason but one of many)

Answer 9

No, i believe in sex after marriage. there are a lot of consequences and a couple shouldn't do it if they are not ready for the consequences. it is not a game, and i have a serious stance here.

hope you feel the same :)

Answer 10

NO PEOPLE SHOULD WAIT UNTIL MARRIAGE TO HAVE SEX
