Pre-marital sex is the origin of so many problems. It destroys the natural way of life and the value of marriage. Marriage is a long term commitment and has been shown to have numerous benefits. It leads to loved and disciplined children, economic stability, family care, sense of satisfaction and belonging, lesser crimes and healthier lifestyles. It is an amazing institution. In a country like India, where people prefer arranged marriages and denounce divorces; I can proudly say that marriages are fulfilling all those mentioned benefits and more. I am sad that so many people and children in the West miss the benefits and peace of a long and stable marriage. We can all learn something from India, Middle East , and most importantly from the Torah and relevant guides.
