My main question is that everyone has a problem with my fiencee and I moving in before we got married. I see no problem because I have known him for years and I know for a fact that there is no one else and that we will be together for a looooong time. I was just wondering if it was such a sin....I know sex before marriage is but I dont see where moving in is a sin!<P>------------------<BR>Thanks all,<BR>Vixy

The attitude toward this is slowly changing. I was raised in an environment that disapproved of all premarital relations. But as more people realize that compatibility is more than skin deep, living together may become a more acceptable means of determining if you two are suited to each other. <BR>I believe that no one else can make choices for you. Do what you like as long as you feel that you are doing what is right for you, and that no one is taking advantage of you.

Forget about weather living together before marriage is a sin. How about asking if it is wise! Please read what Dr. Harley has to say on the subject. Here is a link... <A HREF="http://www.marriagebuilders.com/graphic/mbi5510_qa.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.marriagebuilders.com/graphic/mbi5510_qa.html</A> <P>I agree with rbjmax that no one can make choices for you. However, the worst thing you can do is go with your "feelings". You are wise to seek advice. You will be even wiser to FOLLOW Dr. Harley's advice on this subject.<P>Mud <><<p>[This message has been edited by Mudder (edited February 20, 2001).]

Did that.<P>The biggest drawback as far as I was concerned was that the honeymoon was over before the wedding (and it was only a few months). My inlaws came over for breakfast the morning after the wedding. No big deal, it wasn't like our first night together or anything. <P>I'm assuming you're already committed to each other, not treating this like a trial period to see if you're compatible. It's still not worth it. You'll be throwing away a lot of the specialness of your wedding day/night.<BR>
