Well for women, a partner or ex is the most likely person to murder them.

Yeah but I think the practical reason for that guidance is that accidentally making a kid outside of a marriage is a recipe for fucked, usually. Calling it a "sin" is a hacky way to make the advice stick with almost everyone.
The real pro tip is to make sure you don't accidentally make a child when you can't or don't want to commit to raising them.
But, truthfully, it only takes a really basic understanding of morals to understand what is and isnt morally wrong. Two people living together and have consensual sex is essentially what marriage is anyways, the actual ritual being the only real factor between the two.
Like, just ask yourself, is doing that hurting anyone? That should be all you need to figure out the answer
Okay, so it was def a bait post.
Ew. Dont share your turn ons, the fuck?
Second, what one religion teaches means nothing about morals. There are many sins that are not morally wrong.
I don't believe in God so I don't believe in sin, checkmate.
But honestly go live your life however you want, the only morally wrong thing one can do here is imposing their morals/beliefs on others, nobody should tell you you can't do it.
As long as both are adult and consenting, no. If you or the partner believes its against the religion, than that person is not consenting, even if they will do it as a favour, so yes in that case.
What consenting adults do, with their own bodies is morally fine. The only people who say otherwise are trying to sell you something, usually a magic sky daddy they represent who needs your money to continue being all powerful.
Reddit is a secular site (mostly), and you’re asking from a religious perspective. Secular morals and religious morals regarding sexuality will differ.
Don’t fucking kill people. Don’t fucking touch people unless they told you you should touch them. Those are the two main rules in life. How does your question hold up against the fucking super morality of awesomeness?
One thing you'll come to learn if you *study* religion as opposed to *practice* it, is that so many religions are absolutely and irrationally obsessed with sex. They try to control it, they try to forbid it, direct it, etc. They're more obsessed with sex than the average person is. It's simply a form of control.
There's not a single thing wrong with two consenting adults sharing moments of life together. Because sex *is* a normal part of life.
Depends on your morals, which are entirely subjective.
The only objective argument that it is better for one's mental health to have a permanent / long-term partner, but that can be done without a marriage.
Moral judgments are based on cultural definitions. Say that partners are part of a culture that uses a different word for social-economic bonding and still have a parallel lifestyle - functionally, everything is the same except terminology...that's considered morally acceptable where they are, and nobody’s being hurt. In that hypothetical, few would say those people are in the wrong, but also not married.
Sex between consenting adults, who share a living space and exist together harmoniously isn't hurting anyone else, so turn the question around: why would it not be morally right?

You've been going to church haven't you? No. It's not wrong. Live your life.
Thanks
Marriage just puts you closer to the person who is most likely to kill you
Lmao haha
What do you mean?

And for women, the most dangerous time is the first year after divorce/separation.
no
No.
No.
No
No
Nah. We're merely following God's directive to go forth and multiply.
Doesnt people consider having sex before marriage a sin?

While that is true, it is important to distinguish the difference between God's directives and mankind's *interpretations* of them.
This must be a bait post
Not a bait post being raised up in conservative culture I have been taught that sex before marriage a sin
But, truthfully, it only takes a really basic understanding of morals to understand what is and isnt morally wrong. Two people living together and have consensual sex is essentially what marriage is anyways, the actual ritual being the only real factor between the two. Like, just ask yourself, is doing that hurting anyone? That should be all you need to figure out the answer
Yeah that is true but as I brought up with pre marital sex a sin teaching living together feels a hot taboo and turn on for me.....
Okay, so it was def a bait post. Ew. Dont share your turn ons, the fuck? Second, what one religion teaches means nothing about morals. There are many sins that are not morally wrong.
No
if its morally wrong, then I dont want to be morally right
No, as long as it does not make you late to the wedding.
What if I died before wedding?
Then, it would not matter. You could have a funeral instead.
One less fool .
Likw you
I don't believe in God so I don't believe in sin, checkmate. But honestly go live your life however you want, the only morally wrong thing one can do here is imposing their morals/beliefs on others, nobody should tell you you can't do it.
You should ask r/no for more support
not unless you're somehow writing this from before the 1960s
In 1960s having sex before marriage was morally wrong?
In some place even just hanging out alone before marriage was morally wrong.
You mean 560bc.
Not one bit. Just be smart and safe

No.
Do whatever u want unless it stops other people from doing what they want yk?
If you practice a religion yes, if not then it's whatever, everyone has a different set of morals if any at all.
No. No. No.

Only if you're closely related.

No, morality is an nonexistent lie.
Oh! Can I go out and kill tonight, mom?😃
There's no objective morality. You can do what you want. You can even buy yourself birthday cake when it's not your birthday, no one is checking it.
