When dating or engaged couples are preparing for marriage they often ask questions like this one:
My fiancé and I are getting married in a few months, but have been living together for a while. When we were doing our pre-marital counseling we were told living together before marriage was wrong and that we should live separately until we’re married. We want to honor God, but don’t understand why this is a big deal if we love each other and will be married in a few months anyway. We’re not trying to be rebellious, but we want to understand why a change like this would be necessary.
In this video I reference several resources you can find at these links:
- Video on “Marriage as Covenant“
- More information on Summit’s Preparing for Marriage ministry
Here is a PDF transcript (Cohabitation Conversation Starter) of the content covered in this video.
If this post was beneficial for you, then considering reading other blogs from my “Favorite Posts on Sex and Sexuality” post which address other facets of this subject.
