Well I don't think it's a requirement. For myself if I am attracted to a guy, know them well, trust them, and enjoy their company then I probably wouldn't object to sex if the mood was right. I think what I just described is more likely and common then the total trust and willingness to commit to a lifetime together that is marriage. So it's not a requirement for marriage just very likely to happen before marriage. I can easily imagine a marriage being put under strain because the couple were incompatible in bed and didn't know it before they were married. So maybe it should be a personnel requirement.

i think that if you are using the bible as a guideline i think you are fine as long as you are not having sex for just carnal pleasure. only if you have a deep love for each other that you can express through lovemaking and having that connection blah blah blah. however, like the old saying goes, if you have to ask, is this wrong? it probably is.
this is an interesting one. even though every church (at least the ones i have been to) teaches that this is a sin... nowhere in the bible does it say so. it does say not to be a lustuous person, and not to give into the "sins of the flesh", but these don't specifically say NO sex before marriage. the closest that comes to is not to de-sanctify the marriage bed, but I'm pretty sure that is talking of adultery.
an interesting thing is Leviticus 18;22 says "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination"
it says a man shall not lay with a man like he would a woman. NOT his wife, a woman. it goes on to include all sorts of animals and stuff but not once, one of the only places in the bible that talks directly about sex, does it say that the man and the woman need to be married.

Okay, some of you will think this is strange, but I believe in True Love Waits. That means that I will wait for true love because if someone loves me truly they will also be willing to wait. I have been married before, but because of adultery, alcoholism, and abuse, I am divorced. I only got married because my family pressured me to marry at age 17 (and I wasn't even pregnant first). I just think they knew I was different and they wanted to turn me into something I am not. They thought if they convinced me to marry so young I would be a heterosexual. Well, they were wrong. I am still lesbian, though I have never acted on those desires.
This is the part others will probably think is strange. As a lesbian who has never acted sexually on her desires, I am waiting for God to put the right woman in my life that I can settle down with and be happy with for the rest of our lives. I believe in monogamy as well as waiting until marriage before having sex. Now I realize the way things happen it may be difficult for me to get married to another woman, but there are still churches who will perform Christian ceremonies that are sanctioned by God. Just because the government won't recognize all gay/lesbian marriages doesn't matter as long as it is recognized by a church.

NO, I DON'T! Sex before marriage is an abomination and a SIN in the eyes of God! God is totally against this act and He even says it in the Bible! If you have never read your Bible before, try reading the following verses in the Bible:
Hebrew 13 v 4
1 Thessalonians v 3,4
1 Corinthians 6 v 18-20
Colossians 3 v 5
If you are not a believer in Christ, I encourage you to become one!
God bless!

Ha ha ha . Whaaat ? Well I would imagine sex after marriage to be totally boring if not embarrassing ! Sitting doing domesticated things in a shared home with one same woman you've just banged the a s s off must be really odd ! No, I am all for the multi partner scene and having different ones for different reasons etc. Just looking at most married couples makes me cringe. Fair play to them but I could not do that fake scene at all .

No I flippin well don't. Whats wrong with a bit of innocence. If you have a twinkle in your eye for the other person and they for you. Then you have attraction the rest is just practise. Don't hurry so much. It's good to have that spesh person. I hate all this pushing for sex before marriage. There's alot to be said for a bit of self control and treasuring that one flesh relationship.
All this na na na na must practise before and free choice and push push push flippin politically correctly doing the fast i want so I must get me me me thing.
Slow down your moving to fast you got to make the morning last just kicking down the cobble stones looking for fun and feeling groovy.
Can't you just all wait for the special person.
by the way if tigsta reads this the Bible does say if your a bloke and you want to have sex with your virgin then you marry her.

Some people do, others don't. I kinda think you should know what your getting into, yet on the other hand I don't think you should have a long list of bed fellows.
I know that I had sex with my husband before we married. And although it may be a double standard, I don't want my daughter to have sex until after she's married. I know I'm awful, but I'm being honest.

Well, obviously it happens, so I believe in it the same way I don't believe in (for example) the Easter Bunny.
I've done it. So I also believe it can be a good thing.
But it can also be a bad thing.
Depends. But in general I would say our whole society is rather sex-obsessed. Which might be waaaayyyy more than you were asking. Or less.

Biblically speaking, no, I don't believe in having sex before marriage. From a practical standpoint, it happens, but it's still not a great idea.

Many people I know fall in love with the sex and not the person. This usually leads to bitterness and unsatisfaction when sex is is the only thing they have left. However, if two people can fall in love and get married without having sex, their relationship will be more satisfying because it is founded on love and not sex. Thats just my opinion.
