Right, I've heard that sex before marriage bonds you together permantly and thats why it is saved for married couples. So does that mean your married to everyone you have slept with?
Or that you are married to the first person you slept with and you are commiting adultery with everyone else you do?

Read the bible. In every instance it talks about marriage there is no ceremony mention. It says the man went into the dwelling place and was with the woman and the next day they were considered married. What does that tell you?



Yes, when you engage in sex God considers you married, multiple partners means you are an adulterer in God's eyes.



edit

First off if your bf is atheist then think twice before you actually do a civil ceremony. God says do not be unequally yoked together and that specifically includes believer and unbeliever. 2 Corinthians 6:14-15



If you have been physical and choose not to marry him and move on then this is just a matter of sin, confess it to God and ask forgiveness and move on. Do not make a mistake now that will be compounded later.

The answer to both of your questions is "no". You are not "bonded" to everyone you've slept with, but rather "linked" to them, as you both have become "one flesh" and you now share a part of that person forever. Sex isn't saved for married couples for that reason, though. It's because sex before marriage is "fornication" and Paul said that all fornicators would not inherit the Kingdom of God. Read 1 Corinthians 6. Randy W doesn't read the Bible, there are plenty of marriage ceremonies listed. Jesus turned the water into wine at a marriage ceremony, He told a parable of 10 Virgins at a wedding ceremony, Jacob was fooled into marrying Leah at a wedding ceremony, Samson had a wedding ceremony, etc...

In God's eyes you would be considered married. I mean he said that a man would leave his parents and become one with his wife.



But I think even if you had sex and are, in God's eyes bonded to that person, it would be considered adultery if you know you didn't marry that person.



I mean having sex with your boyfriend is different than having sex with your husband because you know you are married to your husband, but not your boyfriend. You can't fool God.



Marriage ceremonies make it official to you and to everyone around you [but it's not necessary to make it official to God].

It means you are stupid.

Sex feel good for about 10 minutes and then hurts for a lifetime, if not done with the right person at the right time.



Been there, done that.
