I was going to bed but got sick. My stomach has been all over the place recently. We change as we age and can no longer eat as we once did. So, I decided to post an article that I had read. Marriage no longer considered relevant.
I want to ask a question. What made marriage relevant in the first place? It has been around a very long time, pair bonding is human nature. Some people will attempt to say that marriage existed because it promoted this or that outcome. Nonsense. Pair bonding has always been human. Love is human.
Two bible statements. First, God condemned adultery, it is one of the ten commandments. He stated that once bonded people should not be separated. He also said something else, he said in the last days marriage would be outlawed.
There are many people who will say that we live longer and that it is unreasonable to think that people can stay together for life in the modern days. Okay, how long can people be expected to be together? I think the odds would go up if people got to know each other before sleeping together.

Pair bonding is human nature but it is not marriage. Love and sex are human nature, too, but they are not marriage.
Sex in marriage is the best sex there is, but waiting to have sex does not guarantee anything.
The odds for a lasting marriage would go up if people got to know each other better before they... marry.
Waiting for sex guarantees nothing, I agree. Getting to know each other before having sex does make a difference.
I disagree that pair bonding is not marriage. Pair bonding means commitment. Marriage pre-existed the ceremony or government involvement. I believe things are better when the commitment is more important than the sex.
Getting to know the other person before having sex definitely makes a difference...in the sex.
Sexual abstinence before marriage does not mean that the subsequent marriage will be more committed or have more staying power. Some unmarried couples are more committed to each other, sexually or otherwise, than many marrieds.
I agree with you that the commitment to each other is more important than the sex.
If it isn't, one wouldn't bother with bonding.
