		<description><![CDATA[Sex Most of us know what the Bible states about sex &#8211; between a man and a woman in marriage. That means that God would love singles to abstain. That&#8217;s tough but after all, there&#8217;s not many occasions when he says &#8216;no&#8217; to certain things. Casual sex or any sex outside of marriage can seem [...]]]></description>
