They want only the best for you. Anything less than a happy marital voyage gives them pain. The wisdom of their years says that premarital relations are always a mistake. The Bible teaches that God created sex. He made "male and female." Then it says, "God saw every thing that He had made, and behold, it was very good."

It is for procreation; for enjoyment within the bonds of matrimony; for the fulfillment of married love. Daily Prayer All the gifts You have given us are to be enjoyed, within the structure of Your commandments, heavenly Father. Keep me always conscious of Your teachings.
