As a Christian woman this is something I struggle with. I was in a horrible marriage for 8 years in which the kids and I went through a lot of physical, spiritual and terror-type of abuse. I did cohabitate with him for about a year before marriage and once we said those vows it was like a switch was flipped. Even with all that being said, I’d still rather cohabitate for a good amount of time before marriage again…if Id ever go there.

Bottom line, to the young & old, when two people are “dating” , this is the time that you get to KNOW each other. I don’t have to SEE you to figure out some things about you. And if I’m not sure, this is an excellent time to have. a “courageous” conversation and lay some things on the line, if there is a disagreement. I actually have conversation starters that are designed for dates, etc. This is when we get to practice trusting God to guide us and reveal to us, without the pressure of living together or married, so that we can figure stuff out!

I digress!
I’m drained… I actually just had this “debate” with a guy I was dating… SMH… anyway… GOD LUCK in your future relationships!!

However, as Christians we are supposed to be a living witness through our lifestyle. You are a walking witness to non believers. I’m in a Relationship and I have many young girls who are not saved that I mentor. They ask me all the time….why don’t you live with your man? They would roll their eyes and say “yeah right” if I told them I live with my man but we are not having sex. For someone who is recently saved, hearing a message like would not only be confusing but Also seemingly a pass to continue sinning.

In reply to Stephan Labossiere.

I’m reading The meaning of Marriage, and in it it says:
“If you are reasonably well educated, with decent income, come from an intact family and are religious, and marry after twenty five without having a baby first, your chances of divorce are low.”
Very interesting!! And seems very true as well.
