A word on sex out of marriage...

[SowTheWind]

Here are a couple good clear verses about sex after marriage:

"Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be
undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge."

-- Hebrews 13:4 (NASB)

The definition of fornication is sex between two people who are not married
and adultery is cheating on your partner.

"But if they do not have self control, let them marry; for it is better to
marry than to burn with passion."
-- 1 Corinthians 7:9 (NASB)

Also a superb chapter on marriage:
1 Corinthians Chapter 7

VERY important chapter to read. It discusses not to deprive eachother so
that you won't stray apart.
Waiting also proves that your partner is commited to you and, in most
cases, keeps you safe from being used.

I really would love for things to go back to the olden days where a guy would actually "court" a woman. Walks in the woods, strolling on the beach....just sitting and talking and getting to know one another. Can't remember the last time I went out on a date and didn't have to fight someone off. Needless to say, I don't even bother accepting a date anymore, just doesn't seem to be worth going thru all that. Since I have become a Christian, I have a feeling it's going to be even harder to find a man who #1 is of the same faith, and #2 is REALLY willing to wait till marriage. I have gone through a lot in my past, and I know that now I am finally on the right road....but would be nice to find someone to walk that road with!
