Well, I'm seeking a relationship. I'm undecided about sex before marriage, not due to religion.
Suppose naturalism is true. From that perspective, it maybe that, we learned to hate for similar reasons we hate incest. It's because sex without marriage would mean no family unit, and societies with family units, might of prospered better. Furthermore, kids not knowing their Dad would be problematic in functioning in the past. Those kids would not survive as much as kids who know their dad and have them supporting them.
Therefore we would've been with this sense of it's "wrong" to do it without marriage.
However, in this day and age, we do have contraceptives and pills, etc...but still, the way we naturally feel about it, maybe still that there should be a committed relationship.
If we go there is supernatural, there can be more to it then all that.
It can be we have this feeling not simply due to evolution, but because it's more honorable to the woman and the man. I'm not sure.
The fact, in the past, it definitely was something else, because children can be born out of wedlock.
Right now, we have ways against that. However, as I said, if naturalism is true, it perhaps can make me feel bad about it, simply because of what benefited the species in the past before.
