37. pages. of. the. same. stuff. over. and. over. and. over. Is anyone reading prior posts in order to avoid being redundant at all?
Sex is probably one of the things most single people struggle with more than anything else. Is it really helpful to see this every single time we enter this forum? *sigh*

I didn't wait to have sex, but then following Christ didn't even cross my mind when I was seventeen years old.
My past is littered with ups and downs but what I can say is that when God gave me faith in 2004 that I understood something that I had never understood before. And on that basis I chose to not even pursue women anymore. I resolved that nothing could possibly be more important than pursuing God and if God wanted someone in my life he was going to have to choose them for me and make it abundantly clear that was what he had in mind.
It was a tough five years; but I can say that I am grateful that when God gave me faith in Christ that I stuck to not having sex with my wife before we were married. ... Now we did have a few moments that I foolishly allowed us to have privacy that we should not have indulged in. And consequently we had a handful of times that we were not pure in the sight of God.
But we repented even of those things and for the last six months before we were married I made the decision that I wasn't even going to kiss myself again before we were married. ... I highly recommend all of these decisions towards purity.

Im new to this forum, and saw this topic here in the singles thread and thought i'd leave my two cents. Having recently come out of a relationship which ended out quite badly, which started off being a relationship full of lust, which at the time i thought was amazing. Over the course of the years the relationship hit many rocks along the road, as we had breaks and met other people sexually, and then got back together again. In my heart this caused a major issue and I found it very difficult to commit sexually again.
since that relationship I have found Jesus, and I wish I had found him before, if only I had a relationship with him and followed God's word of no sex before marriage and introduced my ex girlfriend to Jesus, I believe many great things would've come out of that relationship. But now she resents me for what I have done, I have forgiven her for her ways and pray for her a lot, it is not her fault she has no relationship with God but mine.
I think we should respect ourselves and each other in relationships and save something such as Sex for when we are truly commited, I have made my vow to God now that I will not have intercourse or any other sexual activity until I am married. God does not take kindly to broken vows but I do not intend to braek them. Just because society says that things are acceptable does not mean that God has changed his mind on matters.

I know the bible is very clear on the subject of sex before marriage and I know I've fallen short :-/ I have a little boy! Anyways I know I am forgiven and my little boy is the best thing that's happened to me!
But what I was wondering is, where does it say in scripture about when exactly you are married? Does it say about having a ceremony? Being infront of priests? Or is it just infront of you that person and God, and if it is and its not the ceremony and paper that we need to be married, does that mean that some of us our classed in the eyes of the bible, as divorced?
If that got confusing I'm sorry, but I'm a little confused myself lol
Thanks to anyone who can lead me to a part of the bible that can help me out!
