This question has been a question for many of years from people of all ages. "Should I have sex before marriage?" Its not just the young people that are wondering if they should do this its everyone young and old male and female, single or in a relationship.

I will tell you from the start that I was raised in a family that taught me from the start that having sex is something that should be done between people that are married and if you are not married, then you shouldn't be having sex. Yes, it was from a religious stand point as well. For it states in the bible that people should wait to have sex before marriage.

There will be some point that you will become bored with that person and want something new. I know I did and there are a lot of my friends that said the same thing. Whereas if you were married, you know already that that person loves you and is going to stick with you no matter what and that even though, you may become bored with one another then at least there are other ways of spicing up your life with that person and making it less boring.

There are a lot of things that follow after having sex with someone that you are not committed to and you don't use the proper precautions. There is always a baby that can come out of the
