"Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”
It's not what you do, but the heart and mind with which you do it.
When you look at a member of the opposite sex, do you see them with God's eyes, thinking how precious they are and how you can love them without a selfish heart, or do you see them with fallen eyes, thinking of how they can fulfill your desire and needs?
This is the dividing line.
If God blesses a marriage, it means He has given his blessing and permission for that couple to engage in conjugal love. Such love outside of God's blessing is not God's. And if it's not God's, well, who's is it? We know the answer to that question.
