So here is my two cents without involving the bible and abeg do not ask whether I be virgin or not cuz that is irrelevant.
First of all, having sex before marriage is totally the decision of the individual involved. it does not mean the person is being traditional or still living in the old times if they decide not to have it. even if they decide to do so, that does not classify the person as being wild or promiscous.
I, personally, am against sex before marriage, not because I am living in the olden times or i am being traditional, it is because I have principles which I follow. there are so many whatifs and buts involved but you've got to make a choice. those in favour for sex keeps saying, you have to test the goods before you buy it, what if the marriage does not work out, he/she could still cheat on you anyways, and so on.
fair enough,but there were few things that could go wrong in the old days because so many stuffs were straight and to the point,there were no dudettes,cross dressers,sex change and so many stuffs that you have today.
first of all, women are not merchandises that needs to be tested or that could be bought; we are humans and deserve to be treated as such (I hate that analog being used, go test a car if you want to).
no one is saying a woman is a merchandise to be tested,it was just an analogy that there are so many things that could go wrong without physically seeing the person you r going to get married to,bearing in mind the stuffs i v written above,during the 1920/30/40s and like way back a man or woman didnt need to confirm anything because it was a given fact that almost everyman or woman was marriage material cause there were no foreign negative influence in the typical african houseold,its diffrent now as we have male and female prostitutes,gigolos,cross dressers,hermaphrodite(fair enough its not their fault,but u need to know all the same)
as par the marriage not working, not everything we do in life succeeds, we have to fail sometimes to rise above our adversities and become stronger; no one will ever pray for a broken marriage, you can't even be too careful these days but YOU've got to pray and ask God or whomever you serve or hope things work out, but that is not an excuse to have sex, all in the name of the relationship not working out.
fair enuff but then again,if you ask a hundred people who dont mind failing and trying again in anything else nobody realli wants to have a failed marriage ,seeing as you wrote there in the phrase "you cant even be too careful these days" thats why some are doing it and its a legitimate excuse if u v heard of some experiences..fair enough its not in the bible but dont forget its not everyboy thats a practising christian but want a good marriage and we have muslims as well,hare krishna,jehova witnesses,scientology and the rest of 'em who all want a good marriage,so its not an excuse to have sex because if sex was all an individual wanted they ll have sex without necessarily going through a wedding for a couple of mins exitement.
if you want to have sex, have it because you want to and u desire it and not giving excuses to justify yourself. what of it you get pregnant and you are not prepared for it, then what? you think of abortion; killing an innocent being that never asked to be created in the first place. yes we keep talking about contraceptives, but they are not 100% guaranteed ; i know friends who got pregnant even after all the condoms and pills and needles. some have sex and did not even intend to and did not become promiscious, thinking they will be with the boyfriend forever but things did not turn of that way, does it give them the go ahead to go wild??
u dont realli need to justify having sex by getting married in the first place because that ll be like committing suicide because you committed a sin,u might be married and still not want a baby so in both cases guess you ll need to use the birth control and be careful the people who got pregnant after using all the birth control might have made some mistake along hte way..remember there r so many stuffs that cud go wrong with them but the bottom line is that it works for most people which is what counts or else the drugs would have been recalled...for the people having sex,they should have it at the back of their mind that theres always a chance of things not working out,thats why u need protection.
