concerning this matter is for our benefit! God has our best interest in mind. You may be tempted to become sexually intimate, rationalize, and give in to the temptation because you are planning to marry. However, sexual intimacy outside of the covenant of marriage will confuse your relationship. It will often cause more confusion for the woman. Physical intimacy can actually prevent you from working to build an emotional oneness in your relationship because it creates a lack of trust! In the Song
