This topic speaks straight to my heart. A lot of people have already mentioned what God has to say about the topic, so I won't go too much into that, except to say: Yeah, God made sex, it's great, and he meant it to be enjoyed IN THE CONTEXT he designed it for.I went 21 years without having sex, and yes it was incredibly hard. Then, I was engaged, and the woman I was engaged to had been very sexually active before we had gotten together. We had not actually had sex, but she was always bugging me about it. Well, since we were engaged I reasoned and justified and ended up sleeping with her. We ARE married now, and we have a beautiful baby boy. At the same time, I can tell you without a doubt, even though she is the ONLY woman I have ever had sex with:HAVING SEX BEFORE I WAS MARRIED RUINED MY LIFE.There are far too many consequences to go into, but let me just tell you, it is NOT worth it. Sex is meant to be enjoyed WITHIN marriage, not outside it. The sex before we were married was AMAZING. At the time, nothing seemed wrong, and I didn't immediately see ANY consequences. But boy, did they come. Take it from me...God knows what He's talking about. Even if you don't see the reason why, trust Him!! And obey Him. It really is for your own good, because He loves you.Anyone can feel free to send me a private message if they want to talk more about this in private, by the way.
