In fact, the Bible never really mentions premarital sex. The Bible says nothing about a public, legal marriage. The Bible only writes about marriages without a license. These are some of the conclusions that confront the reader in this book. A moral standard that has made its mark on generations of Christians is respectfully but clearly questioned. This book advocates a new, biblical view of dating, sexuality, and marriage - a new Christian moral standard that lives up to the freedom of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Many western Christians believe that a marriage is only valid when it has been recognized by the state in some form or another. Before a couple can sleep with each other, travel or live anywhere together, the Christian ethic often demands a marriage license or some other government-approved marriage document. With this book, I would like to show that this kind of thinking cannot be justified biblically.
