Is sex before marriage okay if you love each other?



No, sex before marriage is sinful even if you love each other.  Being in love doesn't alter the reality that the sexual act is outside of marriage, marriage being the ceremonial union of a man and woman in matrimony.  Sex outside of marriage is called fornication and the Bible definitely condemns it.
  • Matt. 15:19-20, "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. 20These are the things which defile the man."
  • Acts 15:29, "...that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well."
  • 1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
  • Heb. 13:4, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge."
So, very clearly fornication is condemned in scripture and there is no provision for it being acceptable just because someone loves another person.  Besides if this couple is so much in love, then why don't they carry out what true love is and marry each other?  True love is when you put another person first, not when you take something from them.  When a man and woman engage in fornication they declare that such love for the other person is more self-centered, rather than other-centered.

GOD VS. FORNICATORS @SEX + NO MARRIAGE #fornication #fornicating #fornicated

IT'S TIME FOR US TO LEARN THE SEX LAWS OF GOD ALMIGHTY.  Is God going to forgive those who refuse his laws and rules about sexuality? Or will He punish them?  God already told us (read below). And we thank GOD that there is forgiveness of sins and mistakes available to us, before it's too late.... "Fornication" is defined as "voluntary sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons or two persons not married to each other." "fornicari, ‘to commit fornication,’ from which is derived fornicatio, ‘whoredom, fornication.’" How does God Almighty define a marriage? Jesus Christ teaches: " Have ye not read, that he  [GOD ALMIGHTY]  which made them at the beginning   made them  male  and  female , And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother ,  and shall  cleave  to his  wife : and  they twain shall be  one   flesh ? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore  ...

8 Mindset Shifts To Help You Tap Into A Sense Of Purpose Any Time, Anywhere.

Jim Collins wrote, "It is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work." If you’re in the doldrums, craving more meaning in your work life, these mindset shifts will get you on the path to a greater sense of purpose: 1 . Focus on your values. When your main focus is on all the ways your job is lacking, you can lose sight of the many ways that your job may actually be fulfilling. To get more in touch with the ways your job is meaningful, take some time to consider your   core values . To do this, simply write down your top five values, then reflect on how your job aligns with them. For example, if being of service is important to you, consider the ways your job allows you to serve others. If you discover that there’s too much of a disconnect, it might be time to move on.  2. Take small steps. Although it sounds. romantic to abandon everything, move to Bali, and write your...

Take no OFFENCE in little things.

Question: "How can I learn not to take offense at little things?" Answer: Trying to not take offense is like trying to not think about elephants. If someone says, “Don’t think about elephants,” we automatically think about them. If we focus on trying not to take offense, we will keep thinking about the offense. This principle applies to just about any sin a person can commit. When we focus on a behavior, even in an attempt to eliminate it, the result is more of that behavior. This is just how our minds work. Thankfully, there is another, better way to address this problem. People are lured and enticed into sin as a result of desire—wanting is the beginning of sinning (James 1:14). Every sin or bad behavior begins with desire. Desire itself is not bad; there are many good desires. But the desires that lead to sin are wrong desires, the desires based in false perspectives and misplaced expectations about others and ourselves. To eliminate a bad behavior, we must first dis...
