1 Corinthians 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?(NOTE: This is only true if you are a True Christian)
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Sorry, wrong answer with me, you may believe it, but I do not. I am not a Christian, so I do not believe in your socalled moralist values of marriage etc.

I think that cohabitation and sex before marriage is necessary to make sure that you are indeed compatible and will be happy together before you take the step of getting married to have children. Marriage is for the financial and emotional security of children, if you are NOT going to have children, then marriage is not necessary.

Marriage may have been necessary before because the technology of birth control etc was not around, because if you were going to have sex, then you sure as heck had better be ready to have children, therefore marriage before sex was again necessary for the security of the resulting children. This is no longer the case. Therefore, cohabitation and sex before marriage is not only a good idea as far as I am concerned, it is a necessity.
