Entered by those unmarried or in preparation for marriage.
Why is Pre-Marital Sex Wrong?
1. They behave as spouses before they become. Sexual intercourse is a "typical expression",and unique to
marital union. Hence to perform it they should be married couples.
2. They distort and reduce the marriage commitment.
* The decisive act of self - giving and acceptance is valid if expressed in a particular moment
of time. ( celebration of sacrament)
This commitment is not a private affair but has to be made publicly.
3. They point to a false language.
* Sexual act is a language which is deep and expressed between two married people.
* Sexual interaction uses a deep and exclusive language. In PMS they use a language and
do not mean it. Therefore, it is cheating. They give their bodies but not themselves.
Therefore no self-giving. It is dissection of the person, they give their bodies but not their inner selves.
4. They act intentionally against the procreative end of marriage - use of contraception.
5. One cannot use persons, but only things. The sexual gesture is done without any interior meaning.
6. Such actions leave in them a deep sense of psychological incompleteness.
* whole person not involved.
* develop a ' playboy and playgirl psychology'.
For those preparing for marriage the Church would say: Genuine Love is tested by its openness to
make sacrifices.
