<p>There are many people, myself included, who don't plan on getting married until their late 20s/early 30s, but who are in loving, committed relationships. </p>
<p>You need to grow up a bit.
</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, I have thought about it, and it's that "maybe" that's the killer, that missing extra step of commitment. I don't doubt that you can have a loving, committed relationship outside of marriage, but marriage is that final step of commitment that takes it to another level. Sex is not the only way to express affection physically.
I respect your right to disagree with me, but I stand by what I said before (this time in someone elses words): This is because the total physical self-giving would be a lie if it were not the fruit and sign of a total personal self-giving, made possible only in marriage.
To make something clear, I consider this conversation as me expressing and defending my views, and you doing the same for yours. I have no desire to pass laws against sex outside of marriage because I do believe that you have the right and free will to choose what to do with your body; however, to clarify from a previous discussion Ive had in this thread, I believe that abortion should be illegal because I believe that human life begins at conception, and therefore abortion is infringement on another persons rights; specifically, their life.</p>
