Exactly. There lies the problem: folks would get a divorce, ask for forgiveness and re-marry (in order to avoid fornication). Maybe the cycle would be repeated again.

But the op never factored these into his writing.

good sex might Bleep up your mind to think you are compatible with a person when you are not

So, sexual compatibility is the only thing you look out for? What happens when you aren't having sex with your spouse?

Sexual compatibility alone cannot save a marriage, because most marriages that crash are built on sexual compatibility solely, until you enter and realise that once the sex is gone, you're stuck with an insufferable, condescending being with no sense of loyalty or some air headed bimbo that can't have decent conversation

Bollinger:


Did I say only sex will save a marriage? There are many things involved in making a successful marriage. Sex, financial education, planning, etc. All these are as important as any. Take away one and you will definitely have issues. But simply dismissing sexual compatibility because of puritan views is mind boggling to say the least.

Toks2008:
1 Corinthians 6:16 ” Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one flesh with her? For, as it is written, “The two shall become one.”

Genesis 2:24
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

Matthew 19:5
and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?

Ephesians 5:31
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

In Islamic law, marriage is called nikah, an Arabic word whose original literal meaning is "sexual intercourse", but which already in the Quran is used exclusively to refer to the contract of marriage.

It is very saddening that man's philosophy and cultural beliefs have made the world deviate from the truth from the very words of the scriptures talking about the Bible and even Quran.

Today we see men and ladies randomly sleeping with one another,safe sex is even promoted with the use of condom,we see baby mamas and daddies springing up and when you ask them about their marital status they say they are single because to them,marriage has a different meaning.

There was no place in the scriptures where GOD commanded us to go to registry, religious houses or to certain families to pay bride price (The Bride price mentioned in the bible was a punishment for raping a virgin).

But what exactly did GOD command about the way a marriage should take place?

God gave us 3 clear stages of marriage. .
1.A man leaving his parents and this happens when you decide to be with a woman and you leave your parents to start your own family.

2.Unites with his wife:You can choose how you unite which is the wedding ceremony and this can be done in accordance with laid down rules of the government or traditions/cultures as well as religious organizations.

3.Becoming one is the third stage which involves having sex with each other.

GOD himself commanded this in Genesis and Jesus repeated it in the book of Mathew.When you have sex with anyone,you are becoming one with such and automatically fulfilling the essence of marriage which is becoming one with whoever you have sex with.

Unfortunately, people just sleep around today in ignorance of the fact that they are fulfilling the third and most important stage of marriage. The world have been deceived by Satan to believe that marriage is when you do the paparazzi and you pay bride price and so on but all these moves are the second stage which is uniting to your spouse.

I know this article may not change the act of illicit sex but next time you open your legs to any guy or when next you sleep with any lady,just know in your heart that you are fulfilling the third stage of marriage as commanded by GOD.

I know this definitely makes sense.

safarigirl:


I am not dismissing sexual compatibility, I am dismissing your idea that you HAVE to have sex before you know you and someone are sexuallly compatible.

If that is how you roll, that is you, but don't assume that everybody must have sex to know they are sexually compatible with another person. It is not a one shoe fits all theory

Bollinger:


Correction; That is how i rolled and i am reaping the dividends today. The funny thing is you've had sex before, and will continue to have sex. So why the denial of the obvious. (Patiently waiting for the barrage of rebuttals since everyone is a virgin ). Everyone does it but it is a taboo to speak the obvious.

safarigirl:
I have never had sex, thank you.

Like I said, don't assume everyone is like you. Some other people did not need to have sex and they have successful marriages, it is not a one shoe fits all theory, so stop assuming your rules are the grundnorm.

So without the spiritual documents hell will break loose? Whatever happened to the blood? Or is that one not enough too?

Spiritual documents my nyansh.

kelvinreality:


Wow...this is an eye opener. I still have a question.
Why is it that most churches still preach against Marrige without Bride price if according to you paying Bride price is not a must in Marriage?

Do you know that you are contradicting one of the most common believe in Marriage?

Toks2008:


Its no longer news that sex is a covenant but my writeup will point out clearly that indeed once you have sex with anyone,you dont need any wedding ceremony again because by having sex, you are sealing your marriage as commanded by GOD.

ademijuwonlo:
Sex before marriage is called "Silent marriage "

While I agree that sex carries spiritual significance, I don't think that it equates to being married.

linearity:
OP delete this nonsense, there is no scriptural bases for it. Those are just your interpretation of those verses, none of those bible verses reached the conclusion that you reached.

Jesus addressed this very situation personally and he reached a position opposite to yours, I will stay with Jesus on this...

John 4:16-18

“16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband.

18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

Going by your analogies, having slept with a minimum of six men, Jesus would have told her that, she have six husbands.

And despite the fact that, she was currently living with a man, Jesus agreed with her that she is not married.

The above is enough and I would have stopped there, but I would like to add that...if adultery and fornication is marriage, then the Bible will be contradicting itself by calling it a sin.

....because the scriptures says...”marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefy, but whoremongers and adulteries, God will Judge.

Tosinex:
Mr op should consider rewriting this misleading article. Sleeping with someone doesn't mean you are married to them, it only implies fornication or adultery which the scripture is against. Then a man shall leave his father's house and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one, and that's after the necessary rites have been taken. Except they are joined by marriage rites Instituted by the law both in the church and in court before they can be called married both in heaven and on earth. Speaking from the spiritual angle, yes you can say both of them have entered into a covenant of bonding through sex but that doesn't mean they are married, and the enlightened partner can pray to break every bonding or covenant from such frivolous activities.

ceononi:
trying to justify the no of guys you've had?

Toks2008:


I'm happy you are finding it hard not to contradict yourself.

Enough of the heresy flying about...THE MOMENT YOU HAVE SEX,you have silently agreed with the second stage which is the rites as clearly explained by me and then entering a covenant as you clearly stated...THAT COVENANT IS INDEED THE MARRIAGE.

Jupxter:


Not in that context, but sex in itself is marriage, and each time we have sex with different people, we get married to them, i.e. if a guy has sex with fifty ladies, he has been married 50 times, this is what the oP implies

annie74:


What sort of question is that? So not agreeing with the OP means that I've had several sexual partners? I marvel at your level of reasoning.
