“You don’t tell a child to avoid leprosy if he is able to live alone in the forest” – Nigerian Proverb

Sex before marriage is a popular trend even beyond marriage itself that most people especially singles indulged in it. They believe it’s fun or ‘normal’ to do that most people are even lured into it.

Many had indulged in it only to discover the real truth behind it. As opposed to its real purpose, to be used in marriage, many people now explore and experiment it in their relationship.

The ‘beauty’ about sex before marriage is as follows:

1. It is good when you are ready to face its consequences

Beyond the few minutes’ pleasure usually said about premarital sex, there are some consequences that often come with it.
Remember, “Stolen waters (pleasures) are sweet [because they are forbidden]; and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.” (Proverbs 9:17, AMP).

Sex before marriage is enjoyable but be ready to face consequences like soul ties, guilt and condemnation, unwanted pregnancy, shame, abortion and contacting of sexually transmitted diseases. It is until a child is burnt that he will dread fire.

However, none of these consequences can be prevented by using contraceptives.

2. It will make you harm yourself

Isn’t that weird? How can I hurt myself?

One thing many people don’t know about premarital sex is that you cannot indulge in it and remain the way you were before the act.

For instance, the emotional pain or bitterness that comes with being used and neglected when you have premarital sex cannot be erased because it will remain engraved in your memory. Not everyone that had sex before marriage remained married to each other.

To remain emotionally, spiritually and medically healthy, premarital sex is not an option even though it is offered cheap or your hormones demands for it. Count the cost rather than the pleasure.

3. It will make you sin against God

“Honor marriage, and guard the sacredness of sexual intimacy between wife and husband. God draws a firm line against casual and illicit sex. “(Hebrews 13:4, MSG).

Some may say God is full of mercy and indulge in sex before marriage since they can ask for forgiveness.
Yes He is. You can choose your sin but not its consequences. When you sin against God, you’ll become His enemy and this will give the devil the opportunity to steal your happiness and you’d become vulnerable to his attack.

Remember, the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy when you violate God’s law. Sex before marriage is one of the avenues he often uses to get into people’s life unhindered.

4. It ‘assists’ your progress in life

Imagine what would have become of Samson had it been he did not allow that few minutes of pleasure on Delilah’s lap to truncate his destiny.

You may disapprove it but it is the fact. You don’t toy your destiny with premarital sex. God has created you uniquely and to fulfill that purpose, you must stay away from some destiny destroying vices. Premarital/extramarital sex is one of the ways that the devil uses in destroying people’s life beyond repair.

Now, if you are ready to live a frustrated and unfulfilled life, premarital sex is good for you. But otherwise, you must stay away from it if you are here to fulfill purpose and destiny.

If with all these you are still not convinced that sex before marriage is detrimental, then you need to experiment it yourself to see whether it is true or not. Sexual relationship before marriage will make you sin against God, hurt yourself, suffer its consequences and also affects your progress in life negatively.

Honor God with your body while you’re single so that you can live your life to the fullest.

Don't wallow in regret. The time of ignorance God has winked at, He only calls you for repentance. Once that is done, you're back on track!
