Christian advice on physical relations outside marriage & pre-marital physical relations

The straight and dull answer nobody wants to hear is NO! That said – let’s be real for a moment and think about why The Bible says we should not indulge in this way before marriage – and do it without condemning anyone who has fallen into this problem – and let’s face it – who is not relentlessly tempted day and night to do so in this day and age? Only a monk might answer yes – and if he did he probably wasn’t being honest 🙂

The truth is, it is so easy to fall into this kind of temptation and behaviour for Christians and non-Christians alike and most of us have done it or come near to it at some point in our Christian walk. What should we do to protect ourselves and each other? If you are an Christian and in any doubt about why its wrong to have physical relations before marriage – I promise – once you have crossed that line – once twice three times – you will find out very quickly.

Sex is a spiritual union and it’s not something that can just be erased with a signature on a marriage certificate. It stays with us and affects every other relationship that comes after. And of course – remember that marriage is supposed to represent God’s perfect union to His church – pure and unblemished – virgin if you like.

Forgiveness is at hand!

Having said all that – God is in not just in the business of salvation – but the business of forgiveness! Note I don’t say He is in the business of handing out licenses to sin. It’s interesting that only 35 years ago, physical relations outside marriage was not seen as correct in the west that even my non-Christian parents waited till after marriage to have physical relations. This was in fact the norm for Christians AND non-Christians in the UK up until a short time ago. So what happened?

Since the war just a bout every media organisation has bombarded us with messages or liberalism and our culture has rapidly changed from one that expects good things to come from hard work and commitment to one that demands everything now – worked for – deserved or not. After all we only have one life so why waste a minute. Give it to me and give it to me now regardless of the effects this has on others.

Now unfortunately this has crossed over into the church – not through want but through modern day pressure of living in an anything goes liberal society.

Great Love Quote of the day
“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love’s not breathlessness, it’s not excitement, it’s not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That’s just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two”.
