Reason we have so many failed marriages today. They just rush themselves with sex, then jump into marriage not really understanding why they are embarking on that journey.
Im very sure if I entered into marriage a long time ago when the first suitor came at age 20, I would probably have gotten tired by now and run out cos I didn't know jack about what marriage is all about or the spiritual indication and God's plan and purpose for marriage. But now I know to a large extent and a lot is still being unfolded during this waiting period. Hmm... Marriage is not "boyfriend and girlfriend in lalaland" hmm... I still learnt a few things even of recent. Marriage is not about size, beauty, handsomeness, height, tribe and color. It is deep, as in deeper and more spiritual than physical. That is why I'm not surprised anymore when a marriage crashes within 24hrs because it never had a solid spiritual foundation. It was built on the usual peripherals of "I love you" you're fine you're hot and sexy" basis. So nothing to hold it when the nitigrity, storms and challenges that comes with it begins to hit and toss it to and fro.

1 Peter 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

Bro, that was the time of ignorance. God has revealed his mind to us now through the holy spirit and calls us to repentance.

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

I'm guilty of this too but the standard remains we only have to strive and pray for forgiveness when we fall short

If God wants sex before marriage why do u have a d.ck and it gets hard before marriage?

Hormones, external and other body factors do affect it. It's doesn't get hard forever as it will diminish in time. If you hold urine for a long time it also occur too.

The same Bible says. He who find a good wife findeth a Good thing..

U are so sarcastic with what you think you know and you you don't know.

Same Bible say A man shall leave his father n mother, same as the woman. N they shall become one.
The Bible didn't say I (God) will take them out of their parents house.



This Bible passages will teach u what u don't know.

Genesis 34:12 (But give me the damsel to wife)
Exodus 22:12

Judges 1:12 & 13( I (Caleb) will give Achsah my daughter to wife

We even have instances where the man's father find wife for their sons.
A wife for Isaac Genesis 24

Tell me where you have it in the Bible where God himself gave a man wife .
N I will send you ₦5k

When husbands sometimes tell their wives "God bless the day i found you." What do u think they meant?

Lemme say dis, just as you said the bible says "He who finds a wife finds a good thing" .
Also note that the bible also says Every good and perfect gift comes from God.

You all twisting God's words and it is wrong

Song of Solomon 1 vs 2

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.


Proverbs 5:18-19 “Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love.”


This scriptures counters your stance. Let the word of God remains undiluted.

This is a very nice piece, I took my time to read it. Kudos!

I had to end a relationship because she was always asking for sex.She said i could change her from this habit but i never gave her a chance.
And i so regret it that i didn't try to talk things out with her,who knows if i could really have changed her?
See..,it is pure slavery to allow sensual pleasure control your life,and i believe a man and a woman can stay happy together without indulging in sex.

Premarital sex is bad... (Sex before or after marriage has nothing to do with failed marriages)

I do not think there is a perfect marriage.

If you believe that GOD provides a husband or wife,,,, You should not be talking of COURTSHIP again.
When you pray and GOD reveals the woman or man to you, marriage should be done immediately bc GOD is perfect.
He knows everything according to Christians.

I have been married for a long time... There are things about marriage that are practical not by prayers.

I am not saying someone should sleep with different people in the name of looking for a wife or husband.

How sure are you that this is all God wants?.. or is it because the Bible says so?.

No one knows what God really wants, what he wants isn't in the Bible nor Qur'an nor Torah nor any other religious books.
Don't be deceived by those books that were written by men claiming to be inspired by GOD when they weren't.

Any sound mind can sit down to write a book and say God has inspired him or her to write it. OP even you can write your own religious books and people would believe it especially Nigerians so far you hide under the guise that [b[GOD INSPIRED YOU or GOD SAYS.[/b]

God has given us a sense of reasoning and a free will to live the way we choose and make our own decisions.

If God had wanted us to live in a specific way he would have come live with us in earth to guide us or send his emissaries to come live with us so as to enforce his rules/laws to live life.

You’ve got a good point on this matter.

The issue about this topic is most people that preach it , do it in a way that they willeven forget that we are human beings and things like that are bound to occur somehow in humans life.

It is not easy.

Let’s say in the natural sense , sex will definitely occur between the male and female.

Jeromejnr:
Many are called, few are chosen.

Many will give excuses now for their love of sin, but will they on the day of the Lord?

Many who claim to be Christians also fall prey in justifying this sin, I say this to your shame.

Eternal regret is the reward of the cowardly and those who turn from the commandments of the Lord.

Be wise and flee from the wrath to come.

To the truly faithful, hold fast to your crown, so that no man may take it.

Are you trying to condemn old testament?

If those persons in Old Testament were perfect or living in accordance to God’s commandments, there wouldn’t have been reason for Christ to die for humanity.

Premarital Sex is actually detrimental to women who really want a to have a sane adult life/ marriage for the following reasons:

1. With sex outside marriage so much easier, there is no incentive for marriage. Used to be one of the major reasons.

2. Either countless abortions or unwanted children. Both are disastrous to women. Abortions forever scar women psychologically and emotionally. Having a child by oneself makes the job of parenting much more harder as the guys would have moved on to other women who will willingly also have sex with them.

3. It used to be that most men aspire to hustle , make money and marry so they can have unlimited sex... As one can now have sex without marriage, then the motivation for most people aint just there any longer.

4. Venereal Diseases : Women are more susceptible to venereal diseases and they are are far more deadly for them.

5. Most vices are committed by children from with unbalanced upbringing. Not saying there are not outliers but statistically , kids born in well adjusted homes usually turn out well adjusted also.

6. Experiences : having experienced a lot of either women or men, there is a lot of pressure put on a partner who does not measure up to past partners. This eventually leads to cheating e.t.c

6. Even for those that are married, many favor almost segregation of the extended family even during the marriage ceremony itself. Not a lot of background checks are done resulting to marriages built on just feelings at that point in time. The traditional method was such that it puts a lot of responsibilities on the extended family and kindred who gather together to ensure that the union is a union of two families and not just two individuals. This gives most marriages a chance to actually outlast the usual initial feelings as is obtainable today.


Conclusion, premarital sex does no good for anyone interested in having a well adjusted family and long term happiness. The cons far outstrips the pros. So for women, engage in them but note that the most cons will be borne by yourselves actually. And for the men, well it is good that we know that the moral compass of a nation is usually determined by their women. Reason being that they are the biggest influence-rs of their kids who will eventually become adults. Keep this in mind when you want to sleep with a woman you know very well u feel nothing for and keep stringing her along knowing that if she gets pregnant that you will bail.

N:B This does not apply to runs girls and prostitutes. They have psychologically prepped themselves for whatever.

Interesting15:


Romantic relationship with the opposite gender has placed many young folks into grevious issues that has left terrible indelible scars on a lot of them; while some have been unfortunately sent directly or indirectly to their early graves by these sweet-turned-sour affairs.

The core reason young people will keep having unpleasant experiences from boyfriend and girlfriend romantic relationships is because it was never in the original Will and Plan of God - the Wise Creator of everything, in the first place.

The Will of God is that when a man (not a boy) has attained a certain stature where marriage can be embraced, (after such a man has discovered his identity and purpose on earth), He (God) should be approached to provide a woman (not a girl) who will become his wife. After God has provided the woman, prior to marriage, the couple embark on what we call courtship, where they learn to know more about themselves (in an attempt to make necessary adjustments before they tie the knot), and must not defile the marriage bed during the courting period (that is, must not indulge in premarital sex).

Listen, I don't care what modernism or so called civilization is saying. This is the Will of God, and any contrary opinion doesn't matter. In fact, anything contrary will always bring heartaches, headaches and 'soul-aches'.

So, what should happen when your boyfriend/girlfriend is disturbing you for sex? Number one, realise the relationship is built on a wrong foundation and retrace your steps immediately by dissolving such relationship and breaking every connection and ties (physical, emotional, spiritual, etc).

Then, go back to the root by making peace with God and finding your identity in Him. You must make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior before anything else. If you have not discovered your true identity and purpose (which can only be known through Faith in Jesus Christ), you shouldn't complicate your life with a romantic relationship

So, if you are yet to make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior, or you have backslided already, simply ask Him for forgiveness of sins, and say "Lord, have mercy on me".

This will get your eyes opened, and you will realize that you are destined to be a Royal Priesthood: a king and a priest meant to rule the earth through power gotten via an eternal relationship with God

That is, you are meant to have dominion over everything - dominion and control over your sexual urges, over fornication, over poverty, over sin, etc. You won't do what true Royals won't do - you won't defile yourself with illegal and illicit actions, for reputation sake. Since it is illegal and illicit as a child of God to have sex before marriage, you should flee anyone trying to lure you into such.

Remember, many guys and ladies out there luring others into sexual immorality, are not ordinary humans. They are terrible witches and wizards, evil people from the marine kingdom, possessed with demonic spirits and have diabolical powers. They are beautiful and h


andsome in appearance, and they have an innocent outlook - so they could easily lure preys into the trap of everlasting anguish and despair. Your boyfriend or girlfriend is likely one of them! Run! Save your life and destiny!

Run into the waiting arms of Christ!

nice one, may God bless you
