I. INTRODUCTION
Pre Marital Sex is sexual activity practiced by persons who are unmarried. Historically it has been considered in some cultures and religions. Pre Marital Sex referred to sexual relations between two people prior to marrying each other.
Marriage is not merely the arena for sexual activity, it is presented in scripture us the divinely designed arena for the display of God’s glory on earth as a man and a wife come together in a one – flesh relationship within the marriage covenant.
The Advantage of Pre Marital Sex is the act itself. You are engaging in this activity because you are expressing yourself physically with another person, which is the advantage in itself.
The Disadvantage of Pre Marital Sex is, it could sometimes mean that you didn’t get to know the person as much as if you had waited until you were married. It might get you in trouble with your parents or/and parents of your partner. You or your partner can get pregnant and get into even more trouble. And most especially, you might regret something in your whole life.

Chapter II
I. Article
The continuous search for love and contentment gives us the idea that if we 're in a relationship, we instantly get these things but no we don 't. The love we are looking for, the attention we seek, the contentment we keep on searching for cannot be found in another person. Why is it that we look for love? Why is it that we crave for attention? Because we don 't get them from the people who are supposed to be giving it to us and that are our families or whoever matters to us the most. A lot of teenagers feel so unloved; feel so ignored in their own homes that they 've decided to look for it outside of their homes.
We find a partner yet it is not yet enough. Here 's the thing, love is always enough. Enough to forgive, enough to understand, enough to trust, enough to change a person. Yet why are we hurrying? We all know that sex is supposed to be after marriage yet if love is enough wait, why can 't we? Is the love not enough? Pre-marital sex, and then when the girl gets pregnant the guy suddenly disappears, the relationship collapses and we end up with nothing but regrets. Now, can you still call that love? There is a right person out there for you and you should know that. Here 's the thing, if you are aware that the right is out there and you believe that someday, somehow you two will meet, you will reserve yourself because we don 't want the right person to receive what is left of us.
Sex is for marriage. It is not for our sexual frustrations or whatever. It is for marriage. We live in a world wherein talking about sex is profane and bad or disgusting yet teenagers get pregnant here and there. How ironic. Sex isn’t bad, it’s only bad if it is done before marriage. If we look at a relationship as a home, the chimney would be marriage, and sex would be the fire. Now, what will happen if we make a fire and there is no chimney? The fire burns and destroys the whole relationship.
Pre-marital sex, leads to teenage pregnancy and once you find out you’re pregnant, you think of abortion because you’re afraid of what your parents will think. Remember, if pre-marital sex is a sin, how much more killing that fetus inside your womb? Abortion isn’t an option. It is never an option. Giving birth to a child at such a young age is better than killing a fetus at such a young age. The best way to avoid such happenings is to run away from temptation, wait for the right time, and enjoy being young. Because doing it at such an early age, is risking your youth. Things will never go back to the things they were. We should always keep in mind the consequences of our actions and we must also learn to face them.
