Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
They get married to become ONE.
Some were getting DIVORCED to cut in half what was united in marriage.
1 Corinthians 6:18 (KJV 1900)
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
New American Standard Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek Dictionaries: Updated Edition (4203 πορνεύω (porneuō))
νεύω porneuō; to commit fornication:—act immorally(1), commit … immorality(2), committed … immorality(3), did(1), immoral(1).
And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman,
And embrace the bosom of a stranger?
Strange = זוּר zur “to be a stranger: from another family.”
Robert L. Thomas, New American Standard Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek Dictionaries : Updated Edition (Anaheim: Foundation Publications, Inc., 1998).
Strange = A woman who does not belong to you.
And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman,
And embrace the bosom of a stranger?
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
1 Corinthians 7:1–7 (KJV 1900)
Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
The way to have healthy sex (Red Hot Monogamy) that is endorsed, accepted, and promoted by God, get married.
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Living together but no sex:
Testimony. No one will believe you.
Temptation. Once the bonding of affectionate touch begins, the chemicals in your brain do not stop until there is sexual climax. It is hard to stop once you start getting physical. Add being alone together - forget being able to stop.
Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
