Also, as to the question of Premarital Sex. Sex is an act of procreation, or, continuing the line. It is explicitly reserved for a Husband and a Wife. That is to say; your husband or your wife, Period!

In the New Testament, when Jesus was asked about divorce, He replied that Moses gave permission to divorce because of the hardness of their hearts. He said that in the beginning it was not this way. Jesus continued, "Haven't you read that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh?" So they are no longer two but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate" (Matthew 19:4-6). This means that no man; not a judge, a preacher, Moses or even himself has the power to sever the bond.

The apostle Paul added to the teachings of Jesus what is called the "Pauline privilege." According to this concept, Paul taught that if an unbelieving spouse leaves a believer, the believer is not bound to the marriage relationship, but is free to remarry" IF and ONLY IF the unbeliever leaves the believer BECAUSE of the believers faith in Jesus Christ.
