It was kind of odd today when I started thinking about the rules we have in the Judeo-Christian faith. I'm sure many have heard about the sin of having pre-marital sex. However, when I was talking to a co-worker, who is going through a seperation with her husband, about the rule of pre-marital sex and how it is a sin. Now, thinking about it, I would assume that it applies to those who have yet to be married. It's common now to wait until you are married.

However, is it a sin to have pre-marital sex after you become seperated, divorced, or widowed? How serious can that sin be? I guess the only analogy I can come up with is that it's like committing a crime and knowing you did it and you are thrown in jail. After your sentence is completed, you are released, but you are again sent to court and jail for the very same crime you committed for the first time because the judge believes you have not served enough time for the crime.

So can anybody come up with better analogy for that?
