3 of my friends lived with their spouse before marriage and all three are divorced. The other 3 that did not live together are still together and thriving.
I was living with my ex fiance outside of marriage and it was messy.... It was also spiritually breaking. It felt like trying to build a house with broken bricks and no foundation. It was too soon, premature, and a rollercoaster without the breaks.

Wow what a great testimony bruh
I wish I'd have followed this advice in my 20's. I lived with a BF and then my hubby before marriage. Sigh.
Boy... if we knew then what we know now... Note my name, lol. Thank you FOTF, for your words of God's wisdom, from your eternal sister in Christ somewhere near Seattle and around the World. ⚘ 🙏❤🙏 ⚘
So often senior citizens are faced with this. I know with age wisdom should come but our society makes getting married a financial burden and we make bad decisions based on financial needs. Please address this for seniors

So true! I’ve see this. And sometimes they lie to get Medicare benefits as if the other partner isn’t there at all.
This is one of America's worst social experiments. Destroy the family, destroy the nation.

Almost everyone I work with have lived together, woman has fallen pregnant and they've gotten married. I don't see the 75% split amongst them.....curious as it is inconsistent with the data
What about when you are 50 and not in an intimate relationship with the man you live with?

Honestly I would like to have saved that. But as a man my perspective Mate wanted it more. She would not have Respected my decision Save that for a present to each other.
In one case, living together probably saved me from a lifetime of beatings.
Almost all people live together before marriage. What I mean is if you sleep with another person you have lived with them. How many people remain pure almost none. Even mormon women don't drink or cough but they sure can do something else. No offense.
I think James Dobson gets up every morning and throws up With what his creation has become.
Marriage is not for everybody marrying a man that is divorce is not marriage either
