While watching a Lifetime movie The Tenth Circle, topic of friends with benefits came up. I could not help but ask myself is this arrangement really among friends and is it truly beneficial? Is sex between two people who aren't married, or in a relationship for that matter really benefiting either party? Your physical desires may be met momentarily but then what? That desire is determined to return. What about your emotional being? What if someone develops feelings for the others? Are they true feelings are just effects of the relationship? What about the long term consequences?
I consider myself a christian woman who is still learning and growing spiritually. I know I want to get married one day so the consequences of a friends with benefits relationship is not even worth it to me. Many people fail to realize or even consider for a moment the spiritual implications of engaging in this type of relationship. These types of relationships tie you to someone who God never intended you to be with and in a way in which you were never meant to be connected. As a result you delay that marriage you've always wanted. Do you think God will bring your future spouse into your life while you're sleeping around? As long as you engage in those types of relationships there is no room for your spouse. Many people will disagree and argue that there are people that can handle that type of relationship but I really don't understand how that can make someone happy. Why settle for sex with someone you don't love instead of spending your life with someone and having the whole package?
This has been on my mind for a while and I am just beginning to scratch the surface on this topic.
