I recently been told that since my wife and I lived together before we married...that God didn't ordaine our marriage, therefore it wasn't his will for us to marry, therefore he can not bless sin or our marriage. My wife agrees with this point of view...I need direction!!!His voice!

Dear fwp,
We did not live together before marriage and my marriage is now in ruins!!But I feel God's blessings still. I also know of many couples who did live together before marriage and are in bright and wonderful unions, blessed by God, I am sure, as they are happy, functioning, caring couples who give much to others in Church, synagogue, and their communities.God forgives sinners, remember??Go in peace and do not let this warning bother you. God is love and strength and He loves you both and He will not abandon you. Blessings, Scotti [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

I personal belief is that it is a sin to live together before marriage. But you still went and made vows before God and he did bless the marriage. How can you tell? I have no idea, other than you cermony actually took place and nothing happend to stop it. I would take it as a sign that God blessed the marraige.
