If you know the scriptures very well get in here. it’s time to argue it out. Many doctrines have gone out on marriage and living a pure and holy life before tying the knot. So many ideologies have been used to advise single and married folks. The question now is about kissing before marriage and we want to hear from you all.
Most notably the Bible mentions kissing in the star gazed book of Song of Solomon. Song of Solomon is an epic love poem of the celebration of marriage. Song of Solomon 1:2 shares, “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is better than wine.” New wine in the Bible is consistently a metaphor of blessings, riches, and the best fruit, so love being better than new wine shows the validity of what a rich blessing it truly is. The book starts out on the day of the couple’s wedding, so kissing before marriage is, therefore, not considered sinful but rather an act of the joy of love.
What is important to realize is that what is 1 Corinthians 10:23 is true for all believers. What is permissible for one, may be too tempting for another. Any act physically must be categorized in such a way. Song of Solomon also warns to, “not awaken love before its time” (Song of Solomon 2:7). Sex before marriage is not biblical, but for some believers, kissing will open a gateway of too much temptation. This is not true for most, but true for some. Submitting physical aspects of a relationship to the Lord for definition within each person’s spirit will foster mutual respect for one another and the Lord in the pursuit of a solid relationship.

This is just Od9jastyles view/opinion on the THREAD:
Kissing will only make you want to do more than kiss. It will make you want to indulge in sin.
Why put someone you claim to care about at spiritual risk? Instead, wait till you are married.
God has instituted sex within marriage not just for procreation but also for pleasure and intimacy.
In 1 Corinthians 7:3 and following, Paul says once we are married, our bodies literally belong to our spouse; he also instructs spouses to meet one another’s sexual needs and to be together regularly so as to protect ourselves from falling into ungodly lust and extramarital sexual activity. So, wait till you are married. May God give us patience and chastisement.
