Hi everyone,

So my girlfriend and I are in need of advice. Before we started dating, we decided that we are not going to have sex, but we did not know where to draw the line with what we do otherwise. We both feel as if a little bit of fooling around is necessary for us to remain healthy. We really need and want to set boundaries so there is no grey area and we can stay on the right path. Temptation can get the best of us like all of you know, so we are seeking some guidance on. We want to honor God and we also want to have a healthy relationship with each other.

Can anybody give me some advice that had worked for them and what is obviously right to do?

Thank you.

You guys have to come to an agreement and set boundaries. We want run away from sin, not try to be the closest we can. If you play with fire you might get burned. It is possible, seek for God help, you cannot do it by yourself. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. The one who endures till the end will be saved.

Get an accountability partner for both of you.

Have Christian friends that will help you and not lead you ashtray

Eliminate so much media intake: Media tells us that a man with multiple women its a real man, that fornication is normal, and that marriage is not ideal. Fill yourself with the lord.

Eliminate old ways

"You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY'; 28but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.29"If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.…


Honor God and He will bless your relationship. Seek him more and he will satisfy all your needs.

1 Corinthians 7:1-2

1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.

2 Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

According to GOD marriage is to prevent fornication. Not only fornication, but all sexually immoral acts are sin, and marriage is GOD's way to not only reproduce, but to release that burning lust and passion.

Again in 1 Corinthians 7:8-9

8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
If sex or any sexual pleasure before marriage was not a sin, they would not have this "burn".
Marriage is the only way to do anything sexual between a man and women without committing sin.
and the bible also says
Not only fornicators, but all sexually immoral will not inherit the kingdom of GOD

Hope this helps

Deuteronomy 22:29-29
28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, that is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he hath humbled her; he may not put her away all his days.

It would be better to not take her virginity till the wedding, but if you do it you MUST marry her, cause if you don't do it you sin against God.
