That sounds risky. I mean what if you marry a dud?

DOH ~ you're not supposed to; but that's very old fashioned; yet you know what? If you choose a LIFE-long (I MEAN LOOONG) partner, then... it's not hypothetical. Sex is NOT so much the factor over time as is friendship; It's the BEST. Ask yourself; will I love this person with no arms and legs? Will they love me if I stroke out at twenty? uh = huh... THAT's how you know... LIFE LONG FRIENDS is more important that any of the other stuff, sex, romance everything' because by the time you're 90 and all your friends are gone and so are hers; what do you think? She's and He's are gonna be great sexual partners? How unrealistic.

God designed sex to be the greatest gift and form of intimacy two people can share. He designed it so that one person will always have feelings. That is how soooo many people get hurt. I just started reading the Bible 3 months ago, have been through several unhealthy and very painful relationships, to know that what the Good Book says is true. I have decided to remain celibate until i get married. I learned this quote from a very spiritual and Biblical book I read called Boundaries in Dating
"Love will wait so it can give, lust cannot wait to get"
God call us to control our bodies and treat them as sacred. I failed to do that and suffered. I'm sure God has something better in store for me than what I had chosen for myself.

Traditions and cultures that have the arranged marriage system most of the couples hardly even have opportunities to talk to each other. But here family backgrounds are checked out. All complications for the married life are ruled out. The character of the bride and groom are carefully considered by elders.
The Bible cautions us to stay away from sex before marriage. The only sex permissible is between husband and wife. As far as possible stay away from it. It makes your life after marriage worthwhile and brings honor to God and countless blessings to the marriage.

Premarital sex is fornication. So it would be HIGHLY advisable to be married before sex! Besides, premarital sex does not come without personal baggage, and part of the baggage is when you finally do meet your lifelong partner, knowing that person is not your first.
Goodness I wish I was a virgin again! Yup, even as old as I am! I have yet to have a husband and meet the right man to marry!
If people think about it, what better gift to give your first spouse than your virginity? And I say first, as some people remarry after their spouse dies.

1 corithians 6:18-20
1 corithians 7:8-9
this says
18Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. 19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body

Hi! Um mm, I do think marriage is supposed to be before you have sex. This is what the wedding night is supposed to be all about. You get to enjoy being married! Sex before marriage is fornication! I hope this clears things up for you!

sure it's okay, just not advisable. in a serious relationship, sex is about more than technique, it's about loving and relating. someone may be able to snow you during a courtship, but i think how they relate to you in bed shows their true nature. it's an important piece of information if you're planning on a very long-term commitment.

Yes, as a matter of fact, that is the way it is supposed to be.
Too bad many people are decieved into thinking just the opposite.
