Bible Question: Is it wrong for two christians in a committed relationship to live together, though they have remained sexually pure? Their intention is to one day marry, but are waiting to save money. They are both committed to remaining sexually inactive and have been doing very well with it. Not really struggling as some would imagine given the living situation. |
Bible Answer: Hello Rodent tamer, Let me say that this question also presents with a tone of looking for a loop-hole; no offense intended. Consider what you are saying. "Sexual purity". As if that is the only issue of responsibility regarding a Christian man and a Christian woman. What about "witness". How does two who "plan to marry" glorify God by remaining unmarried but living together? "not really struggling"??? Hard to imagine. Not impossible, just hard to imagine. Maybe that's more of a reflection on me. In any case, the intentional exposer to temptation is irresponsible in the least. Based on these views, my views, I comfortably say YES, a man and woman living together under the conditions you have presented is wrong. It is a needless and irresponsible, intentional exposure to temptation. It is a gross disregard for their witness as Christians and serves to undermine the institution of marriage. Hope this is helpful, Jeff |
