no pre-marital sex
this topic is interesting -adultery? covetousness?
1 Corinthians 6:18-20 says “Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body"
my understanding is God loves man and woman in marriage as a covenant and as a reflection of Him being married to His people. to have intimacy outside of this covenant invites sharing DNA (among other things) from those who are not "equally yoked" and complications/consequences that God wants to protect His people from
it isn't about control, it is about wanting what is best for man/woman
