They don't see through the "lens" of people who suffer or people who take care of those who suffer.
First of all, the stories of the bible, Dinah captured the attention of a man that Jacob did not want to be a father-in-law to. The man captured Dinah and took her in. He simply wasn't a man of good character. As a result, rioting broke out. Was it all Dinah's fault for all the rioting! NO!
What about Tamar of the bible. Was it her fault that she did not know that she was going to be "seduced"? NO!
Furthermore, there are many cases where a woman is forced into a child marriage and later becomes a Christian. She is "disowned" by her husband.
What about families where the young girl was not given instructions on how to protect her self! Maybe a male or female relative who could care less about "levitical" standards asked the girl to act as a "whore."
What ever the case may be, being "married to my first kiss" may not be truly biblical advice, due to evidence of "abuse" that a young girl may end up suffering for various reasons. I would NEVER encourage any girl to "suck it up" sista and deal with it! That just is contrary to what the bible says as a whole. Her sexuality was damaged in some way. Just read the "song of solomon" and see how she was treated in the "streets"
What about the women who are taking a volunteer or paid position caring for people who are in need. These people often need warmth, hugs and even kisses. Now the workers may NOT give the patient any type of "kiss" but the worker may be "kissed" by the patient. If the care-giver is working in an environment with a lot of disabled men (like a war or refugee environment) and she is the only female around, the chances of such a situation of being kissed is even higher.
Last but not least, there are areas where persecution occurs. Women are raped. Women are beaten. Women are kissed for reasons they don't want to be kissed. Women are forced into a marriage that they do not want to be in. These instances are all cases where a woman is "kissed" and she really didn't deserve it or want to be in a marriage to a man that kissed and gave her that "first kiss."
YES there are cases where a girl IS out of control and is playing the "harlot," so to speak. She also is giving kisses where she ought not. Outside of a marriage is NOT the best thing to do in reality! Will religious persecution against a "prostitute" solve the issue of "sexual impurity" going on in the woman? No. The solution is simply this. LOVE without PERVERSION! Show her the PRICE JESUS PAID for her sin.
So in essence a woman who was in any of those situations, may either be "persecuted" for that "first kiss" or that woman may not have "repented" of her sin yet. So, there is no way to say that only the godly Christian marriages a made under the lens of the "first kiss" and that is the "only love" this woman has for the rest of her life.
All in all, a woman CAN be thankful if her true first kiss was actually reserved for that "special man".......the one and only that GOD himself planned for her!
