what about sex outside marriage

When it comes to sex outside of marriage, I must admit that I am a little torn. On the one hand, I believe that the individual should be free to do as they please and that sex should be an expression of love and passion. On the other hand, I believe that marriage is a sacred bond and should be respected as such. So, what to do? My advice would be to simply follow your heart and your instincts. If you feel that having sex outside of marriage is something that you want to do, then do it – but only if it is something that you both want and feel comfortable with. If it does not feel right, then don't do it. Remember, it is ultimately up to you to decide whether or not you are comfortable with the situation. In the end, I believe that sex should be an expression of love and passion, regardless of your relationship status. If it is something that you both want and can handle, then go for it. But if it is something that you are not both comfortable with, then it is best to keep it within the confines of marriage. This way, you can truly enjoy and appreciate the beauty of sex without any guilt or worry.
