Rules are rules.

And some rules are far more stupid to follow than are others.

I'd never buy a car without a test drive or two, or hundreds over at least 18 months if I wasn't sure how fun the car was to live with for a lifetime. . . .

And how long have you been married for?

Nobody forced those rules on him.

I've got a militant lesbian cousin who runs from Christian institution to Christian institution applying for jobs they aren't going to give her. Seems that most Christian schools have standards they expect employees to uphold. The only stupidity comes from those who seek a means of breaking rules for the sake of breaking them.

Well, the fact that thus analogy applies indicated that you don't understand the issue.

Maybe that's why young Mormon guys on their missions ride bikes?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Then a person shouldn't agree to follow those "stupid" rules when accepting a scholarship to play basketball at BYU.

(Yeah, you be sure you convey to all your future dates that they are comparable to a car test drive & that you continue to plan to test a lot of vehicles before you "traffick" in one particular vehicle that you'll buy like property...great winsomeness...and if you're still single...well, we understand why)

I'd never buy a car without a test drive...hundreds over at least 18 months if I wasn't sure how fun the car was to live with for a lifetime. . . .

(Gee. Why stop @ hundreds...? Why not follow the "LA Laker 'test drive' plan?")

First you could follow the "Wilt Chamberlain Plan" & sleep with literally thousands...
But, of course, you can't always tell a "lemon" by the mere surface qualities that you seem to seek...
So just a reminder that the "Magic Johnson plan" isn't always so "magical"...
You might be "testing" a lemon with a freeway drive only to have her stall on you in the middle of the commuter lane in LA...

With that ethos, though...you could never marry a Christian, as sex before marriage is explicitly forbidden.
