ADULTERY AND FORNICATION
This is the problem with building a relationship on the foundation of fornication (sex in action or perverse thoughts before marriage): whatever it is that caused the man/woman to sin with you before marriage, he/she may see it in another person in an even better version. If he/she sinned with you because of your looks, your money, your kindness, or because you were both "in love"; falling into sexual sin again in marriage is almost inevitable. Fornication is a beast that never gets satisfied. It's always seeking a new high. It feeds, and feeds and feeds and never genuinely gives back in benevolence. Before marriage it is called fornication, in marriage it may still remain but it changes it's name into adultery. Fornication opens doorways that affect our later lives.
The word of God us true, does not change and always remains:
1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, 7
For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication:
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour:
Not in the lust of concupiscence (strong sexual desire; lust) like the Gentiles who know not God:
For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.

Living in fornication causes one to decline to a reprobate/ degenerate mind, falling further and further into sin.
Romans 1:27
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.

Fornication is first sinning against God then sinning against yourself and others. The word of God tells us the wages/harvest of sin is death. Death of marriages, death of a fulfilling life, death of our vibrant relationship with God...
Tackle fornication and many other sins in your singlehood, it is wiser to bear the yoke in your youth. Carry your cross now and follow Christ, His yoke is easy, His burden is light. Matthew 16:24-25, Matthew 11:29-30.
Lamentations 3:27, 40
It is good for a man to bear
The yoke in his youth.
Let us search out and examine our ways,
And turn back to the Lord
