Man, I thought you were going to say marijuana before I read the rest of marriage. Uh, no. Marriage is because of love. Not sex. People don't get married just to have sex.

if you mean sex, yes. But finding the right one is key. You dont want someone who will interfer with your marriage after the fact. Be careful who you chose, then have fun!!

No, that is just sick and wrong. Sex is a sacred part of marriage between the married couple.

I think that there are spiritual elements to sexuality that make virginity important to marriage. Not essential, but still important.

It's important, trust me on this one. Don't listen to the insane liberals who think that's it's not important, or that you can somehow have sex and relations without being married. They all belong in mental hospitals.\n\nTheir way has been proven to not work, yet they continue with it. They have sort of sick solution for non-marital relations, such as abortion on demand and quick fixes for STD's, ect. Now they want to waste all sorts of money on AIDS. \n\nMarriage is the institution for a man and a woman, and here a family can be formed. It all has to do with giving up selfishness and becoming responsible. \n\nNon-marital relations are just the opposite and are founded upon selfishness, lust, irresponsibliity and doing what feels good, according to the liberal code of insanity.

same could be said why sex is so important to you people after marriage...whats the difference? ok, obviously no one wants to be with a "whore" but then again i think that people would want to be with someone that is experienced, i know i would. Cause lets face it, peoples sex lives play a very important role in marriage today, 73% of marriages fail due to this and/or they are deeply troubled because spouses are not faithful and loyal to their signifficant other due to inexperience or unfullfillment in that department. I for one, would like to know that my souse can not only satisfy me spiritually, emotionally but also physically. now, with that said, there are those that feel this way, and then there are those who are extremely active. to each his own but thats where i stand. Hopefully my answer has shed some light on the opposite side of you acusations.

I dont think you should have sex before marriage. The sex will get in the way of really getting to know each other.You want know if its love,or lust.If its real and leads to marriage,you will be having all the sex you want. Find out the important things now,fck your brains out later.

sex is a very important part of a marriage. Without sex many marriages will end. Accidents or medical problems that causes the problem of not being able to preform will affect many in different ways. So I guess it will depend on how strong your love is.

Sex is important in a relationship and obviousley most people would not get married or stay married if there was no sex involved. I would not marry someone who did not give me sex either. I do not think it is offensive to think like that. I just think you should tell her and see if she will change, ultimately you might not get what you want and you might and up divorcing her but would it hurt to try and make it work first.

Its a sad world that produces such consistently narrow minded responses as the ones above.\n\nEvery single one of the above repondents equates Marriage with Sex, not Love.\n\nSex plays an often small if not non existent part in many marriages.   It is inevitable that in some marriages one partner may have a strong sexual urge where the other doesn't.  \n\nThe nature of an individual's sexual urge or even orientation may change over time whilst not necessarily affecting the love one has for a partner.\n\nIn such circumstances an otherwise healthy loving relationship may be put under strain if there is not an outlet for those urges.\n\nInfidelity is commited by the heart not the loins.  \n\nThere are many avenues one can explore to find a sexual release that is emotionally limited.   These avenues, USED SENSIBLY, can fill a gap in your life and relieve an itch before it consumes both yourself and your marriage.

In any relationship sex and intimacy are a very important component. Men often find physical contact a ideal way to connect to their partners. While it isn't everything it is far from nothing.

Yea, they go together and should.  Sex is sacred and very personal.  \n\nBut people are capable of having sex without intimacy.  They do it just because they're in the moment or need the gratification without feeling love with the other person.  Also people can love eachother without having sex.  It can be a deep understanding and closeness that causes intimacy.  They care for one another.  Hopefully when they're married they'll be able to express that love through sex.

I don't think that 'marriage' should come before sex; I think a true, loving commitment should come before sex.  Marriage is just a piece of paper or a ceremony that represents that, but a lot of marriages are made without that commitment.\n\nPeople can have casual sex and do well, but generally, having sex first before a relationship and dedication can muck things up.  That's my two cents!

I have no idea. Personally I don't have a problem with sex before marriage as I would want to know what I was getting before I got married to a man for life. Not that sex is all a relationship is but I think it's an important part. I don't think you should sleep around indiscrimately regardless of being married or not though.

Sex is an important part of a relationship, but not of EVERY relationship. I have a loving relationship with my Grandma, but sex somehow hasn't entered into it.
