Do you think it is okay to live together before marriage?

Question

Answer

No. I never knew this thought until I was already living with him. I’ve been with my partner for over 4 years, a child together and he’s the step father of my two older kids. I currently still live with him but im saving to move out. Just a few months ago I started getting convictions of how I was living, sex being the #1. He’s not a believer, and being around him is exhausting me spiritually because I know being around someone whose leading you to sin is gonna only further you away from god. He pressures me into sex daily which wasn’t an issue before until I became closer to god. He’s constantly saying “ Jesus Christ, or god dammit “ and that’s not okay for me to be around or listen too. The music he plays that I’ve thought was normal isn’t. He touches me sexually and overall just no /: I’ve learned to not be with someone who isn’t a believer and living with them before marriage will only cause temptations and put you in a situation that will make your relationship with god not real. If that makes sense. You can’t live for him and live for the world. 
I tried convincing myself if I married him it’ll be okay but god told me no, I can’t marry someone who isn’t a believer of him. It’s not a good deal. Idk if you posted this cause your wanting to move in with someone but i wouldn’t…. I learned the hard way. Now I have to figure out how I’m gonna make it and move because it’s not right. Also there is a term “ playing house “ which I don’t know a lot of but I’ve been told not to do that if your a Christian

The relationship before him, the guy moved in with me after 2 weeks. We were together 6 years until he unexpectedly passed away.
Living together is very important.  It's how you learn to understand each other

Answer

Well if we’re talking from a biblical Christian perspective it’s not a sin to live together it’s a sin to have sex before marriage. I know a few couples who are not married and they don’t have sex but live together. So I know it’s possible but in all reality we are all human so I’m sure it’s tough to keep those boundaries. Again from a biblical standpoint of keeping the no sex before marriage principle I wouldn’t live together just as it might put you in a difficult situation of keeping those boundaries. But everyone is different soooo feel free to do what you want lol.

Answer

I want to really know who I’m marrying, and for me that includes living together. He ordered rings for us this week and we are not going to plan a wedding for years possibly. Our relationship is not about religion at all although I’m Jewish and he’s Muslim (not religious). Only the oldest living generation in my family might oppose living together before marriage. We sleep together multiple times a week so we aren’t concerned with tradition

Answer

From what I’ve seen people do not get married living together. Statistics correlate.

Answer

If we are talking a biblical perspective, the Jews did not live with each other before marriage their was an introduction, contract of agreement and money exchange before both husband and wife lived together. Matter of fact people watch both parties have sex to seal the marriage agreement. The Bible also says to avoid any type of temptation. Sin starts in the mind then the actions come afterwards. Living with someone will cause you to be tempted, sin and fall into more sin. 
Even if sex isn’t your weakness your in the flesh. If people can rub two nickels to live together they can get a marriage license when is cheaper than rent. There is blessings that come with the covenant of marriage if people be obedient and do what the Bible says or has illustrated. Living together is not marriage, bottomline. Read about the Samaritan that met Jesus at the well. She wasn’t married to the men she was living with.

Answer

Honestly it just depends on your own perspective. I was raised catholic, and my parents were very strick when it came to dating. and marriage was  like if we didn't get married and moved in together we would be a sin if we didnt and banished from our family. so when I moved in with my boyfriend uff you can imagine how that went lol. My mom didn't speak to me for the first 2 or 3 months. My dad was just disappointed he said he expected better from me which crush me. They have come to terms with it but even now that I've been together with my boyfriend going on for 11 years on agust. My mom still doesn't like him and always gives him the evil eye lol at first I did want to get married but there are other factors that we knew we needed to wait to get married and now we feel if we do get married idk like we might jinxs it, so we're good where we are at now. we keep saying maybe in two more years will get married and make it official lol. Now going on 3 kids 😁 so it just depends on what your beliefs are and how you feel about it.
