Lele,

Jesus answered this question and every other question about sex outside of marriage here:

"Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."Mat 19:4-6

The sexual relationship that God created is that...

ONE man and ONE woman are to be ONE flesh for ONE lifetime.

Any other kind of sexual relationship is not according to God's design and is in rebellion to God.

Adam's comment on 2021-03-10 19:41:24:

I assume your question is if it is a sin to have sexual relations outside of marriage and if so, the answer to that is yes. It's called adultery or fornication. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

can you have sex before marriage?

Chris's comment on 2021-03-09 15:26:51:

"thither" means 'over there'. Likewise, 'hither' means 'over here' (when you come across this word in the Bible).

What is thither?
