I believe it was because we were both older and previously married so the allure of that sexual experience that as a younger person ravashes our minds and bodies. I do believe sex before marriage is a sin!!!! I just wish there was a way to have sex education for these young people taught by someone educated in the field and also in a churc environment! All they hear is "its a sin. Dont do it its wrong you have a spirit or demon if you think about sex" instead of educating them on why they are feeling the way they do!!

TMI ... there are various programs available today to educate teens ... and young adults ...
One within the UPCI is called "Worth the Wait". Others use things like Purity rings.
That said ... it is still prevalent in the fellowship as it is in other denominations as it is in the "world".
One girl I know who was "holiness" to the core and very defensive/offensive about the Message just got married to a boy she loves because she's preggo.
But she still wears a skirt and hasn't cut her hair
Of course this sin like lying, cheating, gossiping, backbiting has its consequences
