The free love movement has been around for over a century. You may think it began in the 1960’s. There were proponents of sex without marriage since man was created. In Proverbs 5 young men are taught to listen to the instructions of a wise man to avoid adulterous relationships. Remember that this is the man that had 700 wives and 300 concubines. U.S. law only allows one sexual partner, husband, or wife, at a time. Even these laws have been modified to the point that sexual promiscuity is no longer illegal.

Note the description of the adulteress having honey dripping from her lips. Her words are smoother than oil. The results of a relationship with multiple women or men are a direct path to death. The promiscuous partners do not consider how they will affect those they are with.

How will this way of life lead to death and cause your finances and body to be depleted? We know more about sexually transmitted diseases than was known in the Old Testament. Of course, the financial problem comes from the use of prostitute to satisfy our lust.

Drinking water from your own cistern refers to staying faithful to your spouse. The description of your own wife may sound pornographic to some of us. In Hebrew poetry these terms are quite common. Read Song of Solomon for further enlightenment.  

As parents we must teach our young men and women to remain faithful until they are married. Read the reasons that are given here. If you do not believe Solomon and I, ask those who have lived this lifestyle of lust and now regret it.
