Is it a sin to marry before having sexual relations?

 

[Madhuri]

Don't you mean is it a sin to hve sex before marriage?

No, just stupid.

 

[Amill]

Yes it is. God realizes that sex is an important part of a relationship and doesn't want people to get divorced so he told me to tell everyone that getting married before having sex is not only stupid, but also a sin. Glad I could inform everybody.

While I don't really know exactly WHAT sin is,
I would say it's stupid to committ yourself to a (single) life long sexual partner
without having enjoyed/shared compatable sexual intimacy together first.

Would you sign on a band member with which you have never played music together first?

It really doesn't make any sense. IMHO.

You stole my answer!

I don't think you can make blanket statements that are true about this matter. You can say it's stupid to marry before sex, but there will always be a few people for whom that is not the case. Or you can say it's stupid to have sex before marriage, but there will always be people for whom that is not the case. Generalizations are great ways to escape the burden of deciding what is best for you.

I always say that you should not sleep with anyone unless you want to have a child with him or her.

 

[Jeremiah]

There is nothing wrong with sex between two consenting adults; married or otherwise. If you ask me, this whole "sin" concept is really out of control; it has become nothing but a means to throw stones. What two (or more) responsible adults do in the privacy of their own homes is nobody's business.

Let me ask though; How exactly does marriage prevent unmoral sexual acts?

 

[Jeremiah]

Off topic...

The powers-that-be, here at RF are gonna need to invent a new, higher Frubal counter to accommodate Sunstone's Frubal stock pile. His long line of gold stars causes his post to be wider then the norm and results in a need to scroll over in order to read his enitre post.

 

[Madhuri]

Yes, it is a horrible sin. A girl should know what kind of shlong she is dealing with before she commits to any man.

I have a similar philosophy. You should not sleep with anyone unless you wish to spend the rest of your life with this person. If you can honestly answer 'yes' to this question, then go for it. If you say 'no' then you probably should not have sex with that person. I can honestly say that I would have gladly married each person I had sex with, or I walked away. (This was hard sometimes, lol) I teach the same to my children. Listen to your heart, not your hormones.

Is it a sin to marry before having sexual relations?

Only in the eyes of good sense.

If done correctly

You don't buy a new car before test driving it first. Sex is a huge part of a healthy relationship, if you care that much about the person you are going to marry, why wouldn't you not want to have a healthy relationship before you take the plunge?

I think I need to marry a Hindu chick

It`s not a sin.
I don`t think it`s any too smart though.

 

[Guitar's Cry]

Whatever works for the people.

Some marriages just simply don't consist of sex. And some relationships are all about sex. Plus all those in between.

I don't think sex should be just with someone you want to be with for the rest of your life. What's wrong (all danger taken into account) with a one-night stand or a short term fling?

 

[whereismynotecard]

What if you get married to someone and then when you have sex you notice that they suck at having sex... wouldn't you wish you had tried sex with them before marrying them? Now you're either stuck with bad sex, or you'll have to divorce or cheat on them. Most people seem to not like divorce and cheating. So if you want to have sex, do it before you're married.
