Do you mean fornication or adultery?

Adultery is committed when one strays from the marriage.

Fornication is done when it is sex before marriage.

If my religious studies serve me right.

Adultery refers to sex outside of marriage, period.

(At least according to my Bible.)

ETA: Traditional Christian values are not mine alone.

Calgirl, I sympathize with your position, but this nineteen-year-old may very well be in a relationship with her life partner. A woman of that age is an adult, a young adult, but nonetheless an adult, and there is nothing that appears irresponsible about her sexual relationship.

[JustJulia]

While our personal beliefs and attitudes about sex are probably intertwined with our religious and spiritual beliefs, this is not the place for religious debate.

[calgirlinnc]

Biblically, it has another meaning.


The Seventh Commandment - Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery



Sorry, JustJulia, no more.

[JustJulia]

I know it's hard to separate one from another sometimes.

[calgirlinnc]

I really do understand what you are saying about offering encouragement to the OP.

I am completely stunned, though, at the volatile reaction to more conservative beliefs.

Yes, but if you didn't get it, I think it would be rude to write it out. So I won't.
