Bible Question (short): complications caused by sex |
Question (full): Thanks justme. You did a much better job of developing my thoughts than I did. Sometimes people (who aren't anything close to being ideal for each other) get into a dating situation and end up having sex. That's wrong that it happens, but could marriage possibly be another wrong for the couple (2 wrongs don't make a right)? I guess that the Bible doesn't go into much detail about this, but that's mainly why I'm asking. What scriptural wisdom can be applied to these kinds of situations? Thanks, Ryan |
