Bible Question: What if you no it wont go any farther?! I know that we wont have intercorse until are wedding night, but that isan't for a little over 3 years away. We just want to have a little fun until then, but we can control ourselves. Is that wrong? |
Bible Answer: Consider the word "foreplay" very carefully. Why is it called "foreplay" if not that it is the prelude to more intimate involvement? Young people, you are playing with fire when you "just want to have a little fun" as you call it. The libido is strong in youth, and when the fires of passion are fed by allowing yourselves to "have a little fun," watch out! The fact is, you don't know that it won't go any further. Many unwed teens who wanted to "have a little fun" have ended up as parents who are quite unprepared for the enormous duties and responsibilities of parenthood. If you truly love, honor, and respect one another, save the "fun" for the marriage bed! --Hank |
