Regina,

If they are teaching against an unmarried couple living together then they are correct in doing so. I have heard of unmarried couples who are living together say "We just live together until we get married, but we do not have sex?" Now that may be true, but how is the outside world going to see it? Sex before marriage is considered fornication. That is to be avoided. Even if an unmarried couple lives together and they are waiting until they are married to have sex, to the outside world, the appearance of fornication is there. The bible teaches that we are not even to give the appearance of evil. So if a pastor is teaching against unmarried couples living together, I would say amen!

Why do some preachers teach on( shacking) living together . When the couple do decide to marry they marry for this reason the fear of going to hell and they end up in this terrible relationship that either of them want to be in.

It also stresses the importance of heterosexual marriage This pure lifestyle prevents sexual deviations and other sin in society It doesn t not call for blind marriages marriage should be based on love and friendship

Fornication is forbidding by God to the man kinds in other to be holy unto Him (God) alone but we should get our own wife legally married so that we dont fulfill the lust of the flesh that can make us go against the law of God.

Great Verse,***ual immorality is a bone of contention,even among brethren.Apostle Paul witnessed this in his days,though marriage is not its solution,it will go a long way to create self control and respect for believers .

It's good to follow, but sad to say that some people get married only to be denied sexual satisfaction. Then you are trapped in this terrible situation.
