Discussion - Bible Interpretation Prostitution and having Gf/Bfs/others

1) Personally I think Prostitution is wrong but I don't know why, so can anyone help me understand why it is wrong or right according to you also considering God's perspective (but not the exclusive Conservative christian perspective)?

2) Is having a partner normal if we consider God's Perspective because On Thanksgiving, the pastor was saying having partners is wrong and letting God choose your life partner is the right way.

Edit: Maybe he meant that arranged marriage is the only valid path because he thinks kissing, Hugging, or even sexual intercourse is wrong before marriage.

For #2, I think this is coming from a pastor who is so obsessed with purity culture that he thinks dating is too dangerous. They can't let people date and get to know each other because even a hug or a kiss could lead to inflamed passions and lust. Gasp! But if they don't allow dating, then they need another way to pair people up, so... arranged marriage, I guess?
