I don't understand why people take before marriage so seriously. All my friends have had with their girlfriends and they are in love with each other and so even if you are 14,15,16,17, or even 21, if you love someone and you want to share your love I think is not wrong.

Thanks for writing and sharing your thoughts on the issue of before marriage. While I'm sure you would love to hear my views on the subject, I thought you might be more interested in listening to the ideas of teens your own age and from a few adults that are part of a class we are holding on Purity. So, I turned your email over to our class to see what they thought. Here's what they had to say:

- Scientific studies indicate that relationships that involve pre-marital fail. A relationship that starts with usually last only 2-3 years. A marriage usually runs into trouble in 3-5 years. If a couple have prior to marriage, it may start to fade just when the marriage troubles start, the strong attraction may not be there when the couple needs it most.

- before marriage changes your future in so many ways!! There are negative risks both spiritually and physically.

- will their love for each other last a lifetime? I suggest that their relations are self serving. You/they are cheating themselves of the intimacy that God intended.

- If you have before marriage you will never know whether the relationship is based on a true "kinship" with that person or just .

- I think before marriage is wrong because the Bible tells us that it is. comes with a lot of complications that even an adult would find hard to handle, not to mention transmitted diseases.

- Dear All, before marriage? Yes, I did and I'm terrible sorry that I did. Is it God's wish for us? No, it's not. God should be the priority in our life and all else will follow according to His plan, that way you can feel better about yourself and avoid all kinds of consequences for your deviation from God's desires.
