Not necessarily.
Depends on what you think marriage is for, and how long you plan to wait to get married.
I think that marriage -the ceremony- is a nice way to formalize your relationship, and get some tax breaks. However, the feelings that married people are supposed to have for each other aren't somehow magically created by going through the ceremony.
Besides, people are made to procreate. I don't think there's anything wrong with having sex outside of marriage, as long as a) you're both on the pill and use condoms every time, and b) you know what to do if you end up with a fetus. That's a personal choice, but don't do it if you can't handle the consequences.
However, if you would feel really guilty about it, I'd advise against it.
Overall, Yahoo Answers is not the place to figure this out. It's between the two of you.

No. Taking the time to really communicate with each other is the best foundation for marriage. You can work through all problems if you know how to do this. Sometimes sex gets in the way a really knowing who that person is. Learn to enjoy each others company and you will always have a good base to start your life together.

I've been married nearly 15 years now. My wife and I dated for over 3 years before getting married. We never had sex until we married, although we admittedly "made-out" many times. I was 22 and still a virgin when we married which was very hard for me to do as a man. The big danger to sex before marriage beyond STD's and pregnancy is trying to sort out whether your feelings are really for the person or derived largely from the emotions that making love can produce. I think that you increase your odds of marrying the wrong person if you have sex before marriage. Even going too far in "making out" can make it difficult to separate lust from love. (I wrestled with this for some time before choosing to marry).

Sex is not necessary before marriage (or after). It is something most people enjoy very much and share with the person they love. It is not a requirement of life, but a gift that goes along with life.
Sex is a celebration, and should not be seen as something one has to do.
If you are asking this question, please consider who is making you feel like you might have to have sex before you are married or before you are ready for it.

Absolutely not and in fact, it's wrong.Sex is to be shared within the marital relationship alone.God designed sex as an expression of love between one man and one woman and to produce kids. Its important to get to know your future spouse and look for honesty, integrity,kindness, common interests, how you view having kids...How each other treats people.Sex is special and sacred and has been trivialized by the media..I know this isnt a popular view but I believe in the bible its God's view and meant for our good and blessing within marriage.
WE all see multiple instances of sex on TV and in movies..it all seems so causual and lighthearted but its deeply intimate and sharing of more than your body..its meant to be shared with your one lifetime love.Wait til your married and first make sure who you marry is who you will commit to the rest of your life. Too many divorces break childrens hearts.

Sex will complicate things. It is not nececary before marrige. I plan to remain virgin untill marrige for the simple reason that it will make it more spectacular with that one special guy. However my friend molly told me that she wants to experiment to see if she is pleasured by the sex with her guy? I dont know, we are all diferent. But unless its what you want, dont feel pressured.

My wife was a virgin when we got married, and we have a very happy marriage and an awesome sex life. So no, it isn't necessary.

Well God did intend sex for the marriage bed only. And any sexual activity outside the marriage bed is strickly forbidden. So if you can wait, wait. Wait for your wedding night, it'll be worth it.
