Let me make this as clear as possible; sex outside of marriage is 1000% wrong and it is against the will of God no matter how it may be justified in your mind. Allow me to expand.

First consider the Trinity which is; God the father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. It is hard to comprehend that all three are one. Accept for the moment that all three are one as any church doctrine will teach. How did the trinity come into being? It is simple to imagine and easy to understand. The LOVE between the father and the son was so pure and so real that it created a physical being, the Holy Spirit. This is why some refer to the Holy Spirit as pure Love.

Now remember how the Holy Spirit was created. God's plan was that the love between a Husband and Wife would be so strong and so pure that they would desire to become physically one as is in the case of intercourse. This desire to be physically one only manifests the fact that God has already joined their spirits into one through Holy Matrimony. When a husband and wife physically become one in both spouses purest love, he blesses that act with a child. It is God's plan that a child reflect the result of a husband and wife showing their total love for each other.

God created in both male and female, this strong desire for sex. He did this only for marriage so that a husband and wife would fulfill their desires and create life.

As parents we a charged with the responsibility to teach our child about sex, their desires and the proper place for sex. Many parents do not understand this and our child are left with out the knowledge. Teaching our children about sex and its' proper context takes many years and must begin before puberty sets in and then often during puberty. The teaching must be a part of complete religious values that also contain the proper respect for God and his laws.

Many parents do not understand the proper context of sex. This is apparent in the increasing number of contraceptives being given to children and teenagers. It is more evident in the increased pregnancies in our high schools.

It is not too late. Couples should pray for strength. The Holy Spirit is so powerful and can act upon your soul and your body if your desires and beliefs are strong enough. I cannot emphasize this more; pray, pray, pray!

There are families that do not know God and struggle with what to do about their teenagers wanting sex. All I can offer you is this. The sin associated with premarital sex is no different than any other mortal sin. If you lack the faith to follow God and all his laws then you may easily commit this sin or any other sin. God created us as His children to obey His commandments and to perpetuate life His way, with Him, not without Him.
