I am always one of those people who ask the question why and how. So my question is we know in the bible it says to not have sex till marriage. But now days all marriage is to the government is you paying 80 dollars for a piece of paper that says you are. My question is what defined it back in the days? There's was no big government and a piece of paper didn't signafy that. So who to say that two people who feel like they are married in their eyes are not allowed to have sex?
what is marriage in gods eye?

So your belief is to just simply say 'i feel married' and that's going to be good enough in Gods eyes? We are to 'obey the laws of the land'. Regardless of your opinion on government, it's my belief God recognizes marriage when there is some proof we are married.
Avoiding marriage in a legal sense, to me, just sounds like someone who lacks real commitment. And a loophole to have an excuse to act in a marital way when, in fact, you haven't. Because what's to make you change your mind later and say 'oh, well, i didn't really mean it when i said i felt married' when the relationship doesn't work? Where is the effort and commitment?
All i hear is 'how can i get around having to do things right so i can do what i want?'.

But that happens now days anyways? It doesn't take much now days to have that paper gone. People been married and divorce in 48 hours. So that was right then if they only had sex when they were married for that 48 hours? And back in the bible age, there was no government and no piece of paper to say they were. So how were they considered married back then?

Marriage is a sacred thing in the eyes of GOD. Not because we feel connected means we say yes we are married. The marriage is a public announcement the same way as water baptism.
Sex shouldn't be done out of marriage because of its powerful effect of pulling two souls together. Have you ever heard of soul ties?
Where the monetary aspect comes in people find all means to make money. But because of their gain we still can't let go of the values of God.

The Bible doesn't come right out and say no sex before marriage. What it does say is sexual immortality is wrong but humans are immoral and lustful, so in order to satisfy our temptations God gives us a person to spend our lives with. This can be found in 1Corinthians 7 . So based on this I would say in God's eyes marriage is when you make the commitment to person to be with them for the rest of your lives, and be loyal. They may not of had a piece of paper but like us they did have a marriage ceremony. While the ceremony itself doesn't mean anything it symbolizes that both people recognize this commitment.
