it is simply all about the love that is exciting b/w both sex.If can know the meaning of love and the person you are into making love with.if know you will marry her nothing stops you,but if you will not marry her never try it consider: compatibility,love,honest,and all other condiments of marriage b/4 promising any lady. |

No, it's not wrong. But couples who live together before marriage are more vulnerable to divorce than those who don't. |

Just a bit of digression here please! If a couple fornicated with each other only & later got married, does the marriage automatically cancel out the previous sin of fornication!? |

no @yemivictor |

What if the fornication between the afore-mentioned couple resulted in pregnancy!? I mean, what would it make of the child!? A sinful child!?! |

Secondly, what would become of the possibilities of the couple @ redemption!? Since their sin has produced something!! |

Live together, i think its not right but if its sleep together or "fornicate'as d righteous call it,, technically and in the sight of God, its wrong but practically and humanly it is acceptable and right. How can i marry someone i dont know his ability behind closed doors? what if he's not want i think he is? what a miserable marriage that will be. |

Yes it is wrong to co-habitate before marriage. The bible does not spell it out to this particular subject, but might as well. The bible states in 1thes. 5:22 and ephes5:3 to stay away from the appearance of immorality. When people are living together in this day (and throughout history for that matter) and in this society it is well assumed that those two people are having sex, so that being known if you have a christian couple living together before marriage then that couple is looked upon as having a sexually immoral relationship. The next point is that we are to keep ourselfs away from the temptation to sin 1cor 6:18. Me being a guy i know that living with someone that i am not married to would be very tempting for me and probaly most normal guys. |

i do not think it is bad i dont see how respect could be lost by living together,, i think it actually helps to determine if the two are compatible enough and are able to maintain marriage, it gives time to show how well things work out or dont, kinda like a preview like trying something as a sample if u may. |

It depends on how they two are living together! once a man and a woman decides to stay together as married people though they are not - from that time the world sees them as marry couple even though they have not make it public as in giving out drinks to people. so if pregancy results they should keep it and solve problems together. they have already pronuce themselves husband and wife. but if they can hold bodi - they should not leave together because some men are ticky-they can deny the woman when an issue arises. Most men run away from responsiblities. they are also kn as cowards. Advise:So young girl-keep urself, marry him b/4 leaving with him. |

CH3COO:can you prove this? there is nothing wrong and their break-up or divorce(if any happens) should not be blamed on the fact that they lived together. that standpoint is bankrupt and rather hypocritical. whats the big deal in living together when we are already having sex?and also if we agree not to have sex till we marry, why should living together be a problem? if you will give this theory a religious perspective, such a religion should be ready to admit whether linving together is the problem or just pre-marital sex. for xtianity however, i am almost sure the debate is about pre-marital sex but who cares? xtianity has an unhealthy attitude towards sexual intercourse anyway.bla bla bla. whatever suits u both,honestly, NIKE- just do it! |

The assumption is that unmarried couples who live together are likely to be having sex on a regular basis like a regular husband and wife, and that's why Christians and Muslims generally frown at it. Culturally speaking, a woman who lives with a man who is not her husband is seen as a 'loose' woman because she's not only taking part in forbidden sex (as assumed), but she's 'flaunting her immorality' for the whole community to see by living with him. She's not being discreet about it. The society's attitude is like this, "yes, we know that you're having sex with your boyfriend, but don't flaunt it as if there's nothing wrong with it." We know that we are all sinners, but let's at least respect the fact that what we're all doing is wrong! Let's show some shame, and discreetness. This is called hypocrisy! @seun Its not frowned at in ISLAM but forbidden outrightly because u are still not regarded as husband and wife. Even when Communicating there must be a guardian present ,this shows to the extent of removing sex or other form of immoralities from aspiring couples before they get married. @poster its totally forbidden in ISLAM and not frowned at. |

Nothing is probably going to stop people from living together before marriage, or at all. Since that has to be taken as fact (which it does) one then wonders what sort of legal protections are afforded unwed couples, and as it turns out, there are binding legal agreements called cohabitation agreements that people can enter into. |
