You better know that BEFORE you marry them. That's a part of dating. Some people have a strong sex drive, some have none
Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. ....some people are selfish and might not consent. Know this before you get married.
This was a sermon I just listened to at lunch it was just posted by this Baptist church.

Proverbs 2.....on topic
It is better to marry than to burn 1 Corinthians 7:9. In 1 Corinthians 7:1–2, Paul addresses the distinction between the married and the unmarried and states that sexual fulfillment is a primary reason for marriage, Yet the church and many Christians would rather see you burn.
Next time any Christian tells you the main reason to have sex is to have children. Tell them this. In 1 Corinthians 7:1–2, Paul addresses the distinction between the married and the unmarried and states that sexual fulfillment is a primary reason for marriage,
Sex is about the union of the flesh, the joining of husband and wife into oneness. Children are the subsequent blessing.
Isn't he that wicked sorcerer dude on LOTR?
no, i mean the Old Testament book.
ever read it??
Some churches push only dating in groups. That's no way to learn about the other person
.
Most people want love, romance, companionship, and a family of their own.
According to Gen 1:27-28, and Gen 2:21-24, those things are Divine
blessings, they're perfectly normal, nothing to be ashamed of; nor is there
anything intrinsically wrong or sinful about them. But a believer has to be self
controlled, and not permit romantic urges to make them lose their heads
and ruin their chances for happiness.
Adult dating is where it starts; and adult dating isn't harmless. It leads to
other things and it leads into rashly-made commitments and promises that
are not easily backed out of. The end result of adult dating is ultimately
marriage and children. Whose religion will prevail in the marriage? Whose
religion will be taught to the children? The believer's or the infidel's? And
ultimately, who will get the children's souls-- God, or the Devil?
For example:
• Gen 6:4 . .There were ambitious men on the earth in those days, and also
afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they
bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of
renown.
The sons of God chose their wives solely on the basis of allure without any
spiritual prudence whatsoever. (Gen 6:1-2)
Theirs are a primo example of mixed marriages gone terribly awry. When
the Flood came, only Noah and his family survived. Why? Because neither
the sons of God, nor their impious women, nor their worldly posterity
heeded Jonah's preaching and came aboard the Ark with him. They all
stayed behind and got wiped out.
A similar fate befell at least two of Lot's daughters. They had married Sodom
men and when their dad came around warning his kin of the impending
destruction; they didn't listen; so guess what. Lot's daughters burned to death
right along with their Sodom husbands: Lot's grandchildren too, if any.

Maybe finding out who a person is, what their hopes dreams beliefs and plans are. To find out if they are a quality person. To do that with a clear mind not clouded with hormones.
Any other answer, except getting married, leaves the person burning with desire. Paul is clear on that.
