Another consideration when deciding about premarital sex is safety. Did you know that 50% of the people who currently have HIV are between the ages of 15 and 24?1 Using a condom only reduces the risk of contracting HIV by 85%. Condoms do not significantly reduce the risk of contracting other sexually transmitted diseases.2 Take these statistics into consideration when making your decision.
Most people don't consider the emotional effects of premarital sex. You see, sex is an emotional experience and it affects our lives in ways we don't understand. After engaging in premarital sex, many people express feelings of guilt, embarrassment, distrust, resentment, lack of respect, tension, and so much more. As you read the next section, consider God's love for you as a primary reason for sexual purity. God does not want you to experience unnecessary emotional pain!

Pre marital sex is definitely against the word of God, as sons and daughters of God we should bare in mind that God only wants the best for us .... though its not that easy specially when your in a relationship, the best thing that you can do is to put God at the center of your relationship and consider God in everything that your going to do... doing this would somehow help and guide you both in the battle called "temptation"
To Joeanne your truly Gods instrument in spreading His good news to everyone and thank you for reminding us, your truly a blessing...
