Times are changing and the acceptance of certain things has been clearer now than ever before, but that is also dependent on the individuals involved. Sex before marriage is such an issue because religions out there believe against it. This isn't to spark a religious debate, though; mainly just to bring up thoughts on if it is okay to engage in sex before marriage.

On one hand, many believe that purity is best kept for the person that they are going to marry, while others feel it isn't a problem to have sex before marriage. In the end, both can be right depending on that individual themselves and those they share a relationship with.

If you feel sex should be withheld until after marriage, ask yourself the reasoning (besides religious beliefs). Same thing if you feel it is okay before marriage. Either way, love should be the focal point for the reason to have sex, whether it is before or after marriage.
