Biblically, its healthy.
Sex is not just having intercourse with the opposite gender all in the name of fun or pleasure. Its a spiritual covenant made between those that are involved. Its like telling each other I accept everything you have including blessings and curses.
Blessings and courses can be inherited through intercourse, that's why the Bible instructed we should FLEE FORNICATION. Not to run but FLEE.
Questions might arise, what if after marriage one of the couple's member is deformed. Just like a lady sighted a story.
Well, thats were the marriage council in the Christian session failed to play their role if they actually went for marriage counseling.
A couple intended to get married are supposed to go for counseling. Where they are told to carry out series of tests such as Retroviral screening, Genotype, Blood Group, Fertility and the rest of them.
With the result from these tests, the marriage council can draw conclusion if they are compatible or not before they can proceed.
Also abstaining from sex before marriage also saves a family from unforseen things. It helps to keep the family in a solid Christian foundation.
