You Must Have a License for Sex

I can not begin to tell you how much it saddens me when I hear about young women and even some girls that are having intercourse way to early. There are so many pressures from mass media and from peers that say sex is alright at any age. Right now in the news there is a couple that just had a baby, the father is 13 and the mother is 10 or 11 years old. When the father was asked how he intends on taking care of his family financially, he didn't even know what financially meant.

In 1Corinthians 7;1 says, "Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman. But because of the temptation to sexual immortality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband." Just as you are to have a license to drive you are to have a license to have sexual intercourse. There is nothing more precious to a woman than her virginity.

If a woman gives herself to a man prior to marriage then there is no incentive for the man to show himself as being worthy to marry. Matthew 5:28 says, " But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustfull intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." There are countless scriptures in the Bible that speak against both fornication and adultery.

So you say that you lost your virginity years ago and why does it make a difference at this point? When you become born again and baptized with the Holy Spirit you become covered with the blood of Jesus and a new creature in Christ. When this happens you become a "virgin" again. Once you have married then the two of you have the license for sexual intercourse.

In 1 Corinthians 7:4 says, " For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does." Once married, sexual intercourse should be a main ingredient within your marriage. Do not use sexual intercourse as a weapon or lack thereof as punishment.

Men and women have very different reactions to sexual intercourse. Husbands thrive on it to know that the are honored and respected by their wives. On the other hand, women attach emotion to sex and to know that her husband loves her. Keep the sex plentiful and you will be well on your way to a great marriage.
