It is up to each individual to decide. Be educated, be safe.
.we are sexual beings; it is the intention that is important.
we can have sex for all the wrong reasons (needing connection, lack of exteem, trying to buy love, etc.) or we can be sexual with good intentions regardless of marriage.
I belive that it should wait until marriage not on just religious views but on practical stance. Say you had sex before marriage and your wife finds out. If she’s a virgin, there would be a lingering thought about what if she’s not good enough. Out of the sheer fact that the question is inappropriate, she will bottle it up. Like it or not, all marriages enter a few bumps and humans bottle these feelings up. When they reach the melting point, one of the first things to come out in that war would be the issue she had since day one. Only this time, it will come out more violently than just a mere question. Bottom line, one of the biggest factors of divorce is sex before marriage. Second only to sex outside of marriage.
Do animals care about sex before marriage, lol? What makes it so different for us just because we are humans?
After the invention of contraceptive, the question has lost its relevance I think. (Though natural birth control is possible). The cencept of marriage mostly applies to the commitment of raising children (Though the concept of single mother/father is acceptable in our society. Mankind needs children, fine. Who cares how they were produce if they were raised properly in loving environment? Science couldn’t prove that single parenthood is inadequate for childrens’ sound development) and the hereditary issues (family/geneolgy/property etc.).
The idea of ‘heavenly match’ is just a metaphor of the reunion of male and female side of every human being. Or the reunion of our biological self and spiritual self. If faith in God is good, why can’t we remain faithful to each other rather than keep our faith on some signed papers? (The married people are always jelous of single people, hence this taboo!)
[...] Should a person have sex before marriage? Is masturbation a sin? What determines sexual orientation? Why is God interested in our sexual behavior? Should women be treated differently than men? [...]
It is my persuasion that the sexual component of long-term intimate human relationships is entirely too important to leave for discovery after marriage. It’s also entirely out of line with human needs, drives, desires and, if we’re honest about it, our own personal experience. We are extremely sexual creatures by nature, and the ability to have satisfying sexual relationships with our long-term intimate partners is something which is better to be discovered sooner rather than later.
To each his own. If people really care and are special to one another sex can be a natural progession in a relationship. Sometimes its not. Marriage is (or is meant to be) a sign of commitment and endearment so it can be natural after marriage too.
Marriage should be an informed decision, so yes. You are going to be with this person presumably for life, so it would be prudent to ensure a good match in as many aspects of life as possible before making such a commitment.
Marriage is for people who don’t know any better.
who in their right mind (religious doesn’t count) would not have sex before marriage, unless your a loser and have been trying but just can’t
