For many years premarital sex has been a big issue within churches. Sex symbolizes the love between husband and wife and the strength of their unity to each other. Many faiths believe sexual intercourse is something that is to be saved for marriage. For Christian faiths, this is preached about in the Bible. It is referred to in the Ten Commandments, which is found in the Old Testament.
Religions also embrace many of the ideas discussed below that oppose premarital sex.
Sex is more than the physical act. It is every part of a person s being. Human beings, by definition, are sexual beings. So our attitudes, the way we dress, and even the way we shoot a basketball or play any game is a part of our being sexual. It encompasses everything we are as a person.
