    people have sex to make children

    Yes, this is why sex exists.

    humans are very social animals

    Which is why marriage as an institution has been fundamental to every major civilization since prehistory.

    We have also re-purposed our sexuality as a form of communication

    We have done nothing new or innovative. It’s all been done before.

    that is why it is an important part of human life

    I never said it wasn’t.

    Then why would you wait till after marriage?

    Because you do all those things with someone you’ve come to know and love without sex involved. You’ve made a lifelong commitment to each other out of love and appreciation for each other without being distracted or swayed. This commitment to each other and to purity means a loyal and healthy partner you can enjoy and raise children with. In the end, because I’m sure this is what you care most about, the sex will be better too.
