If sex before marriage is a sin...?

Question

Then who was it who married Adam and Eve?

so if you love someone, then according to god you are already married?..

Answer 1

It isn't a sin according to the Bible.

They weren't married. Otherwise they would have had the legal documentation that comes with marriage.

Answer 2

First of all, sex before marriage is not a 'sin.' It is simply two people expressing either their affection for each other, or, if teenagers, the workings of the human mind. Jackie, for a simply reason, those two crazy kids, Adam and Eve, never married. No doubt they wanted to but their doggoned problem was that they never existed, they are fiction. The Dark Ages, alas, are over. We'll know more as technology reaches that point but even now we know how our species evolved in Africa a few million years ago--and, dear heart, it wasn't an invisible god in the sky scratching up a handful of Earth dirt. It is, as they say, not rocket science and doesn't require a Harvard degree to understand this. Sex is good, sex is sweet, sex is necessary, sex is part of human nature and our species. Don't demonize it.

Answer 3

Adam and Eve, as mythological symbols of the emergence of true humans, were made of the same flesh and blood with Eve having been made of Adam's rib (which raises a host of other possible questions some of which might not be fit to post...).
IN this mythological system, they would have been coupled or married, if you prefer, by YHWH, the head god of that system.

also, according to the myths of Adam and Eve (in the Jewish tradition at least), they did not have sexual relations until they were expelled from the Garden of Eden for consuming the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Until that time, the eating of the fruit, they were "innocent".

Answer 4

The Creator Himself married Adam and Eve.

Answer 5

I have to go with the others, who answered that God married them. God refers to Adam as her husband, presumably before they had sex, in Genesis 3:16.

In principle, though, I believe that a couple who make promises of fealty to one another are as married as a couple that makes vows accompanied by legal documents, etc.

The institution of marriage as a legal status is necessary as a means of establishing certain rights and priveleges according to the law. And it is also good to make your vows known and agreed upon with the society as a whole, I believe.
I think this is even pleasing to God. There are a lot of advantages in doing things in this way.

But a true promise between a man and woman is just as binding, whether it be made in a chapel with others present, or only between God and the two of them.

Answer 6

The whole idea of sex before marriage being a sin is so you can save that expirience for the one you are meant to be with.

Do you really think Adam and Eve weren't meant for each other? There was nobody else on Earth!

Answer 7

I saw a documentary about marriages in Iran(A good Islamic country). They could get a 30 minute marriage license or a 30 year marriage license. Anything could be used for the wife's dowry which is a requirement. In the case being documented a flower was used. Sooooooo, they avoided doing a sinful thing I guess.

Answer 8

Who says they were even married? I have never heard of them being man and wife only Adam and eve.

Answer 9

God. Adam and Eve didn't have anybody else, they were the only two people on the planet at that time.

Answer 10

The Garden of Eden was located in present day Las Vegas, and Adam and Eve used one of those all night wedding drive through chapels.
