then take a vote, go out and take a poll which is better, go on the street and ask folks.
I’;m sure they will all say the same as you, yea right.
You got kids have you?
You’re changing the subject. You stated that not all couples who live together are having sex. I contend that the number of cohabiting couples abstaining from sex is so small as to be statistically insignificant.
To get a meaningful result from a poll on the subject of the goodness of shacking up, a better group to question would be couples with long, successful marriages, say 25 years or more.
My husband and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary in February and will celebrate 24 years together in June. Our daughter will be 13 in July.
We lived together for 5 years before we got married and actually got married while he was unemployed because of being in the midst of a worker's comp lawsuit. We've been through all kinds of h3ll, but neither of us can imagine trying to go through any of it without each other.
The Good Lord will judge us when the time comes, but I don't believe HE will look all that unfavorably on us, if for nothing else than the fact that our beautiful daughter loves Him and His Word because of the way she is being raised.
I personally find sanctimony a far worse sin than cohabiting.
