"...and the two will become one flesh". I was doing a little studying up on this topic and come to find out there is not a whole lot of biblical meaning to a wedding ceremony; it was always a wedding feast or party. Yes you have the piece of paper to prove that yes indeed you are married. But back to the verse. I'll put it this way ... God intended sex to bind us in marriage. It's giving of our bodies ... the biggest of sacrifices ... to each other. When a man and a woman come together like this, they are then considered one flesh. So to have relations with another like this is truly giving of your whole self, and if it ends up in a broken relationship, what happens then? It's a broken relationship at the deepest level, the deepest level of spirituality, the deepest bond created by humans. In the dictionary, purity is defined as "free from guilt, evil; innocence". I can't imagine the guilt that would follow a breakup of the joining of flesh.
This is why I wait.
