“Sex Before Marriage”

 

Culture is particularly the manifestations of human achievement regarded collectively. Around the world there are different cultures that we may experience to come around including our own culture that we believe in.  It contains a social behavior that is found in human societies and is socially transmitted customs, knowledge and materials. As a believing Christian and learning a lot about my culture, there was a decision to further looking into different cultures to understand their beliefs.  Mostly being an ethnocentrism believer, which assumes that one’s culture and way of life represent the norm or all others, didn’t realize that there were other cultures that varied.

            My culture believes that “No Sex Before Marriage”. Of course, Christians have this dream that you must get married, find the love of your life and have babies. You would think possible that, that’s something initially sounding right. Now in days, in this society, it doesn’t always work out to be that way. The Bible is the same focus and the rule book that Christians follow by. We read and follow the guide lines to have further life in the afterlife. The common word in the bible that explains the “No Sex Before Marriage” is used in reference “Porneia”. This catch the phrase for any sexual misconduct outside of marriage. Let’s face it, sex plays a big role in life as of today. Different cultures have a similar meaning when it comes down to marriage and sex. If this was obeyed then there would be less pregnancies, transmitted diseases, and even children growing up without parents. Culture is what we believe in basically to keep us safe.
