The prevailing modern attitude about sex before marriage seems to be that as long as we both want to do it, it’s okay. What does the Bible have to say about premarital sex? - Sexuality - TouchPoints

1 Corinthians 7:2-3Because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband. The husband should fulfill his wife’s sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husband’s needs.

As Paul describes the role of sexuality in marriage, it is clear that the full expression of our physical desires—sexual intercourse—is to be reserved for the commitment of marriage.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-4God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor.

In contradiction to the world’s attitude that says, “If it feels good, do it,” Paul teaches that God calls us to exercise control over our passions and our body in the area of premarital sex.
