Everyone should remain pure until marriage.

Errr... no. If two people love each other then what's marriage got to do with it? These days, getting married is just an excuse to have a big party and get a few tax breaks. If two people love each other and enter a loving relationship then who on Earth should tell them not to have sex? After all, sex is natural and shouldn't be confined to some archaic notion like marriage.

I completely disagree. Marriage is the true and sacred bond between two people who REALLY love each other. Sex is real when you're marriage IMO.

So two people that are together and living together for over 10 years aren't really in love with each other? That their sex isn't "real"? On the contrary, I think it's important to have sex before you choose marriage so you can truly experience each other at your most vulnerable. I know couples who have held off on sex only to break up at a later date when they find their partner has some bizzare fetish that disturbs them.

And tell, what is the point of marriage when divorce is as common these days as having a iPhone? And what of all those marriages where the couple fall out of love or end up in abusive relationships? What about arranged or forced marriages?

Your view is an idealised one and there are a lot of "what ifs?". The important thing isn't marriage (considerring it hold little value in the modern age and is little more than a status/label), but having a loving relationship.
