If you find yourself struggling with sexual temptation then this is an excellent teaching, that might help you to resist this sin in your life by setting healthy boundaries. by Sharon Goodwin
Numbers 25:1, Commit whoredoms. Sexual immorality is the downfall of many who consider themselves to be strong and righteous, and there is a terrible price to pay for it as the Israelites found out.
The enemy (the world, the flesh and the devil) knows our weaknesses and will do what its most to capitalize on them for our destruction. Romans 13:14 says, “But put on the Master Yeshua Messiah, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.”
What doors of immorality have you kept open in your life to gratify the immoral cravings of the flesh? What spiritual stronghold exists in your life that the enemy can use to keep you under its thumb and from walking in the joy and freedom of the will of YHVH? It is time to cry out to YHVH for help and deliverance and to repent.
Setting immovable boundaries in one’s heart ahead of time is a major key to resisting sexual temptation successfully. It’s important to decide how far we can go without violating the spiritual guidelines the Scriptures lay out for us to stay righteous sexually, and then not allow yourself to get too close to those limits.,
If you find yourself in a potentially compromising situation, flee that situation to alleviate the possibility of falling prey to moral compromise (2 Tim 2:22). Young people who are endowed with strong sexual urges need to bathe their minds in the godly admonitions found in Proverbs chapters one through nine (also note Eccl 11:9–10 and 12:1–14).
Learning the ways of wisdom and the fear of Elohim as revealed in these chapters in Proverbs is a vital component to staying strong morally and being triumphant over the wicked temptations of the world, the flesh and the devil. by Natan Lawrence

Not everybody is cleald to marry. Marriage does not resolve our problems, it makes them more complex to solve. The Lord is our Savior and the solution to our problems, not another person. Whenever we try use another person to solve our problems, we create a co-dependent relationship. One should never marry out of need. That kind of marriage will not work well and many marriages have no positive effect on people’s life. Looking at today’s rates of divorce should clearly show that about 50% of Christian marriages fail. Of the other 50%, the majority have problems. Biblical teaching on marriage should be understood and applied properly to today’s culture. God’s principle does not change, but the way we think has changed. Today even Christians have accepted many worldly beliefs about sex, relationships and other areas. For this reason it is difficult to apply God’s principles in these areas. This is clearly demonstrated by the fact that the divorce rates for born again believers are the same as those for people in the world. This also shows that being born again is not enough to change our behavior, we need to renew our mind with the Word of God (Rom 12:1-3). Our belief system needs to be re-created in may areas, and often what we think we believe is not what we actually believe. It is the study, application and obedience to the Word that produces the conscious putting off the old man and the putting on the new man.
Shalom Noemi, you have wisdom on this from above. The word from the beginning tell us what the creator says;The LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. He made the rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man.The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh. Genesis 2:21-24 HNV
