What is your stance on sexual relationships outside marriages
(which excludes the seeking of mere pleasure via harlots)?
The idea is if two individuals who desired each other very
much, they might be singles or spouses of someone - made
love to each other...have they sinned by following their
desires? is it inevitable that they made love?

My question is two-fold actually, one
part asks of singles making love before
marriage and the other asks of the idea
on cheating. Sorry for the confusions,
and a thousand thanks to those who
offered their answers.

It is not so much what my stance is, but what God's stance is, and that he very much forbids it.

the Bible mentions it no where. Not a single verse says that you can not have sex before marriage. I challenge any christian to show me this verse....
I also believe that the idea of marriage being a piece of paper from the government making you married is ridiculous. They didn't do that in Jesus time so why do christians get to decide that we have to now in order to not be a sinner..
People bring up adultery. Sure, hurting someone else is wrong no question. Fornication for all those that put verses up about fornication. Go look up the ancient correct translations of the word fornication and you will find that it actually means sex with a prostitute
sidebar- that doesnt mean i think it is a good idea... diseases, and the emotional affect etc etc etc

I think society has become so enamoured of beng able to do what they will in all things, that sexual relations between people who do not even really like each other or know each other tends to be overlooked as the norm. However, IMHO, it is a special thing that should be reserved for two people who are married and have taken the time to now each other in all the other ways and decided that they wanted to spend their lives together and share that only with each other. However, as a realist, I know this will not ever happen.

Fornication and adultery are sins regardless of the reasons. Human reasoning does not change the law of God. To say that it is inevitable that somebody commit a particular type of sin or that two people come together to commit a sin makes God either a sinner or make him of no account. Both ideas are incorrect. God designed sex to be between a man and a woman under the cover of marriage. Sin disregards the intentions of God. Each sin has its consequences.

According to the Bible, this is encouraged/permitted only in marriage, and that marriage must be between a man and a woman. Anything outside of that is sin. If a married man has sex with the wife of another man, that is not "make love", it is lust, sin. And yes, having sex with a harlot is sin.

TRUE LOVE IS A HIGH AND HOLY PRINCIPLE, ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT FROM THAT LOVE WHICH AWAKENED BY IMPULSE, AND WILL SUDDENLY DIE WHEN SEVERELY TESTED. this quote has been a guide for me since I learned it. re read it over and again. what is missing in a married persons life in the scenario you describe is the commitment of their relationship. and it may not be their fault, as both married partners have to be committed to its success, not just one. You see this is also tied into why premarital sex is unhealthy. If we were to wait till we're married to have sex, we wouldn't have a voyeur experience. and while sex is great, it isn't like water or oxygen. we can live without it, if the need were to present itself. so my advice is don't let anything get in the way of your relationship with your life partner. stay steady and committed.

the speedy answer for your question is sure, premarital sex is illegitimate with the help of Jewish regulation. the purely "kosher" outlet for sexual kinfolk is contained in the context of a wedding ceremony. in the present day, Judaism does no longer sanction the demise penalty, nor honor killings, nor or any type of violence as punishment. We do placed emphasis on teshuvah (repentance). i assume now and again an offending youthful man or woman will be requested to go away the homestead, yet I actually have not heard of this surely going on.

If your word means anything, if the concepts of trust and promise are important, if the security and well-being of society generally are desirable, then one must be faithful to one's spouse regardless of the feelings involved. When you marry, you make a promise. Be honest. Would you really enjoy living in a world in which trust and promises are meaningless? Would you enjoy this infedility if it were your parents involved? Or your own spouse? Incidentally, I've been married almost 37 years and have practiced what I just preached.

Sex before marriage has become so common for many reasons. Far too often we focus on the “recreation” aspect of sex without recognizing the “re-creation” aspect. Yes, sex is pleasurable. God designed it that way. He wants men and women to enjoy sexual activity (within the confines of marriage). However, the primary purpose of sex is not pleasure, but rather reproduction. God does not outlaw sex before marriage to rob us of pleasure, but to protect us from unwanted pregnancies and children born to parents who do not want them or are not prepared for them. Imagine how much better our world would be if God’s pattern for sex was followed: fewer sexually transmitted diseases, fewer un-wed mothers, fewer unwanted pregnancies, fewer abortions, etc. Abstinence is God’s only policy when it comes to sex before marriage. Abstinence saves lives, protects babies, gives sexual relations the proper value, and most importantly honors God.

Sex is a necessary biological function. Marriage is an agreement (a contract) between two people stipulating to certain behaviors. Sex WILL happen with or without contracts. Violating one's contract with one's spouse carries social sanctions consistent with local customs.

It is a sin to have sexual relationship outside of marriages.
Luk 16:18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Luk 18:20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
Mat 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Mat 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
