[Faith-talk] living together before marriage

[Jeanette]

couldnt' have said it better myself, also when we do things that we are not 
supposed to do because of money or some other qualifier we are basically 
saying since God won't take care of me i'll do it myself, either get married 
or don't live together, pretty clear in the Word of God. Jeanette
