Why you must avoid sex before marriage

I saw this lovely article somewhere, it was written by Onyitex and I think it will be beneficial to JOB readers. The article talked about reasons why you should not have sex before marriage.

I know many of you probably don’t want to hear about what you shouldn’t do early on in your relationship and I know I will get a lot of nasty mails because of this post. But I don’t write on relationship issues to be popular. I write it to help people have blissful relationships. If you want to have a blissful relationship, don’t ruin the chances by introducing sex into your relationship until you are ready for it. I’m constantly baffled when people can’t figure out why they keep having failed relationships when they mess them up with physical intimacy. It’s common for couples to kiss on their first date, begin romancing soon afterwards and start a sexual relationship within a few weeks or months of knowing each other.

I’m not going to tell you how long you should wait to begin kissing, hugging and making non-sexual contact, but I’m going to boldly state that our bodies and minds are not designed for sexual relationships until marriage. The average Nigerian has at least 4 sexual partners before they are married. They either think each partner is “the one” or they think sex is so wonderful they don’t want to miss out on the opportunity. Sex is indeed wonderful and very special and saving it for the wedding night is treating it as something special..!! Sharing it with practically everyone you date makes it rather ordinary. Here are just a few of the emotional problems premarital sex can cause. When you sleep with someone you aren’t married to, they begin to get concerned with how many other people you have slept with.

If you are willing to have sex with someone you aren’t married to, you will feel the same after you are married,which is cheating on your wife. Rates of affairs are dramatically higher with those who engage in lots of premarital sex compared to those who were virgins when married. Since sexual relationships were designed for married couples, your mind naturally begins pushing the relationship further along than where you might be. You might not even know the person you are sleeping with but you start forming an emotional attachment to them. Many couples who really shouldn’t be together are married because a premarital sexual relationship “bonded” them together when they wouldn’t have bonded without being physically intimate.

I’ve talked with quite a few people who waited to begin a sexual relationship only when they were married and none of them have regretted it. I’ve chatted with numerous people who began a sexual relationship before the wedding and practically all of them had regrets. Always remember this 'waiting to have sex until you are married won’t guarantee a blissful relationship, but it will certainly cause your mate to honor and respect you much more'.

What are your opinions about this writeup because for me, it is rich in knowledge.
