Bible Question: Would someone please tell me where in the Bible God talks about if you wait and have sex until you are married your sex will be more fulfilling, better, more awesome? Thank you! |
Bible Answer: The words you are using are not in the Bible, but as Doc already answered you, Psalm 1:1 is a good verse. Since you are not asking IF God says to wait for marriage, then I assume you know that. Therefore, if we follow what God wants, we will enjoy life much more over the whole course of our life. (Those doing wrong may enjoy life in the short term, but latter they reap what they sow. It is easy to look around you and see.) Anecdotally speaking, I waited until I was married at 25, and WOW, it was worth it. Also, I have no memories of being with anyone else. Also, I worked (before being married) with some men at a factory who were shocked that I a) was a virgin in my 20's and b) that I was proud of it. After leaving the break time, one man who often commented on his experiences asked me why I was proud to be a virgin (He never meet someone like me). I told him, “I could be what you are within 3 hours. It was easy. But you can never be what I am. It is hard.” There is forgiveness and a person can turn and do right after making the error. God sees them in a right relationship. But they will still never experience what those who wait will. The consequence still remains. My wife became a Christian a couple years before we married and a year before we met. She didn’t have the value of a Christian up bringing. She came into our marriage clean before God and me, but she still had the past none the less. I hope that this helps some. And I pray that more men wait! MJH |
