Question:
How much touching should be done before marriage?

Answer:
“It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband” (1 Corinthians 7:1, 2).

The Greek word translated “touch” here means to have a carnal relationship. In Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy we have lots of instruction regarding relationships, and it is put like this: “Do not uncover the nakedness.” This can be done with your eyes or your hands.For some people, holding hands and kissing is wrong for it stirs the emotions, but for others this may be OK.
