''Heterosexuality''' is sexual attraction to the opposite sex, that is, men attracted to women, and women attracted to men. Its opposite is [[homosexuality]], where men are attracted to men and women to women. Unlike homosexuality, heterosexuality is not an abomination to Christians, but heterosexual acts are still sinful if performed outside of [[marriage]]. The Bible does teach that [[celibacy]] is preferable to marriage for Christians.<ref>1 Corinthians 7</ref>
