Hi Gill,
Good post, thanks. Pre-marital sex has about the same effect on the future marriage as does no-sex before marriage ... no real impact. The problem with pre-marital sex has more to do with committment, and potential for disease. However, many marriages where there was no-sex beford hand have fallen apart, been filled with agnst and hurt every bit as much as any other marriage. What makes a last marriage is not the sex, but the personal committment that "both" husband and wife have toward one another. The strength a couple has to stay together is not because they resisted wrong acts, (although such resistence is good) but because they so deeply love one another, and are willing to forgive and forget ... something that the Watchtower Society does not understand how to do. No, the Society even keeps DFing records long after a person has died.
