Hi, Jim —
Sexual activity does not get its
ethical legitimacy from the age of
the couple or their capability to
procreate. What gives sexual intimacy
its moral legitimacy is whether or
not the couple is married. Outside
of the permanent commitment of marriage
they do not belong to each other.
Therefore, sexual intimacy between
two older unmarried adults who are
past their procreative years is still
a matter of serious sin because they
are not covenantally bonded to each
other in the union of marriage, and
they have no right to become one
flesh without that marital union
first.
