A young man once told me he couldn’t marry a woman without sleeping with her first. “How else will I know if she’s good in bed or can conceive?” he asked.
He had been with many women, chasing short-term pleasure. But when he was finally ready to settle down, he found it hard to tell if it was love or lust. That confusion became a burden.
Sex can make a man and a woman have very strong affection for each other even if they are not in love. When there is pre-marital sex, the people involved may be deceived about how emotionally attached they feel towards each other – because of soul tie.
This can be a big burden! Premarital sex is a no-go area, it grieves the spirit of God.
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.
– 1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Sex, a blessing that strengthens relationships, should ONLY be had in marriage. Sex strengthens marital bonds spiritually, physically and emotionally.
That healthy and beautiful lady or rich and handsome guy may be the opposite tomorrow, it takes spiritual eyes to truly see.
God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 (NLT)
Abstinence can prevent STDs and pregnancy. Wait till you’re ready for higher commitment in marriage. It’s an honorable thing to do with your body.
I pray that your choice for a godly life partner will be the right and blessed one. May the Lord help you choose intelligently. And I pray that you are eventually happy with your life’s decisions.
