- Is it okay if couples-who aren't married but love one another-live together? In our 21st-century culture, it's not unusual for couples to look for certainty in compatibility by living together first; not to mention doing so also saves on rent, bills, and expenses. But what does God say? Does the Bible actually prohibit cohabitation? Pastor Mike wrestles with this real and relevant topic by asking two foundational questions: Does living together make us happy? Does it make us holy?

My partner wants to make me his wife but his timeline is 3-5 yrs but we both did not really know what we were doing by moving in together…I have received confirmations that he is going to be my husband but we made a commitment to The Lord to stop fornicating…but lately I have been asking God if we should still live apart until we get married

The only problem with this is that even if you do not live together there are no guarantees marriage will work. I have many friends including myself that didn’t live together until after marriage but infidelity came into the marital home with abuse. Thought we were marrying decent Christian men, now in our later years many of us are divorced and have lost a lot.
Bible gives us fair warning to guard our hearts, and be wise in our choosing.
Do you not know that your bodies are temples ... you are not your own ... therefore honor God with your bodies. If we are a temple of God and we are made perfect in his image then why isn't tattooing ourselves just as bad? Who are we to think we can make it better? Would you be okay with someone putting tattoos on images of Jesus? Would you be okay with someone putting tattoos on all of the greatest works of art? In what way would you ever think that the one who created us would be perfectly okay with you desecrating his perfect creation? Your body is a temple. Your body is a vessel. Your body is not a canvas to do as you please.
