Whenever someone asks us if we believe in premarital sex we respond by saying “yes and no.” It’s a confusing answer at first, but it gives us an opportunity to make an important point.

We are quick to follow up, however, by saying that having genital sex before marriage is clearly not in line with God’s principles.
