Bible Question: My fiancee and I have been engaged for about 2 and a half years now. We can't afford to be married yet as we are still in college and living with our respective parents. We know that God has blessed our relationship and that we are meant to be with one another. My question is: Since we already feel like we are married(we just don't have a piece of paper to prove it), is it acceptable that we are sexually intimate? Does the bible say anything about having relations before having the paper? In sending me any bible verse, please also give me an interpretation of the verse so that I can fully understand. |
Bible Answer: Referral to another thread............................................ Hi Teachandsing, Previous people have also asked that question. Please type the number 114024 into the "Quick Search" box at the top right corner of the screen to see several perspectives that I have on whether people should get married legally before having sex. P.S. Notice that the verse says to "leave you father and mother". I don't think a situation of having sex with someone while you're both still living sepperately with your parents fits this Bible verse. |
