Do you believe in sex only after marriage?

I do because there are more chances that a relationship will last a lot longer for sex to come after marriage than for marriage to come after sex. To build a relationship you have to know what the foundation is made out of. Some choose sex to be the foundation of a relationship and some choose love as their foundation. Sex and love are two separate things and should NEVER be looked upon as an equal. Some people are too stubborn to realize that sex is suppose to be something done out of love; (if any is envolved) not the other way around. Chances are very good that if a person views sex as a foundation to a relationship, he/she wasn't looking for one in the first place. People often forget what marriage is these days. In most traditional marriages there's a line that says "for better or for worse"; if someone is gonna treat the other like some kind of merchandise such as a car or whatever and they have this mentality that they have to "try" someone out before marriage, they don't have any business getting married. Basically if this happens what that person is saying is that they don't love you, they're just gonna use you as temporary usage and if he/she doesn't like what's been provided, that person is gonna be stashed away. That is what's gonna happen when sex becomes before marriage.

I hate to look at things this way, but I'm a factual person. The stats show that ppl who live together before getting married are more likely to get divorced. I waited until I was married to have sex. This brings a real sense of security to our relationship. I could go on about the other benefits, but I'm tired.

I do.  And I don't believe that "test driving" will give you any indication of how a man will be after he is married.  If it is what he does to "get you," it's likely to fall by the wayside when he's "got you."\n\nSex is part of marriage.  Outside of marriage, it loses something very meaningful.\n\nYou can tell what your chemistry is like before you are married.  You can learn what you need to as far as mechanics with each other after you are married.  Cliff and Joyce Penner are both Christian sex therapists and have written several good books for married couples. \n\nSex can hold a relationship together that normally wouldn't stay together.  If relationships (outside marriage) are about sex, it's harder to see what needs to be addressed.  Incompatibilities are overlooked.  It commits you to a relationship you may not otherwise want to be committed to.\n\nIf you decide to marry because you know and love someone's character and you share common goals and values, sex is icing on the cake.

I think anything has time and sex is good after marriage... it make you more secure and has more meaning into it.\nmarriage as a "fortress for well-being", the normal and healthy state for adults, where sexual feelings can be safely expressed in a spirit of love. ... are expected to be completely chaste before marriage and totally faithful within marriage

I do not think it is a good idea. How do you find out whether or not you are compatible in that way if you wait until marriage?  What if on the wedding night, one believes in the missionary position only, and the other likes to expirement?  What if one likes it in the shower and the other thinks it should only be in the bedroom?  What if one really enjoys sex, the other feels it is something they say "let's get it over with" to?

Yes.  I believe in freedom.\nAt the same time, both my wife and I, who were both sexually active and neither religious, have cried about the fact that we didn't wait for each other.  So much that is special about sex was lost in those early years to people I would never have chosen to share it with now that I am wiser.  It wasn't worth the pleasure for what I lost.\n\nI suppose that's what our parents were trying to tell us, and religions are trying to teach us.  I still disagree.\n\nBut I understand.

I've been married 28 years ,and it's still in doubt .It seems the spirit and the flesh are somewhat incompatible .You can do what you want, it seems to quench the spirit tho for a time .

Sex before marriage is NOT allowed before marriage if you are a Christian.(which I am) and people that are not following Gods no sex before marriage rule are not real Christians. God does NOT force us not to have sex before marriage. You CAN do what ever you want. But if you are a real Christian you will follow Gods rules. But God IS NOT forcing you to do it. but if you do you are not a real Christian. just because someone or everyone does something bad does not mean you should. hope this helps and I hope you make the right decision and follow Jesus.

i'm a spouse and i think that sex is very healthy for the marriage. And when you get married it should get better because there are no rules , you are married now and you should do more than you used to because thats you partner for life in the eyes of God. And God says that when you get married the bed is under file nobody's watching and you can get nasty and dirty as much as you want, thats the beauty of beeig married, there is no sin in it.

NO. not at all. First of all, I would like to congratulate you two. You're a match made in heaven. Basically, the bible states that sex is a blessing given to married couples. If you're just living together and not having sex, that's absolutely perfect. It's the most exciting thing you can have once you get married. But if you guys are married but not having sex... then there really is a problem behind that. Try talking to your partner about that.

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!!

Yes, of course I do. I don't particularly agree with marriage so it would make no sense for me to disagree with premarital sex.\nWhatever floats your boat.

maybe you should get married first then maybe god would help you...but no you are going against god and having sex before you are married.

I'm currently on my second marriage and I wish I would have waited until I met the man I'm with now. I was a virgin with my first husband but, we did it before we were married. I chose to have sex one month before our wedding because I didn't want our wedding night to be awkward. If your 100% positive you are getting hitched like I was then I say go for it. I just wish it had been with my second husband instead of my first.
