You people love to shout “fornication!” anytime they hear a couple lived together before marriage.
Let me be honest about my own life.
I cohabited with my wife for 6 years before we got married, not because we wanted to rebel.
Not because we didn’t value marriage. Not because we lacked morals.
We lived together because we were building a life together.
We learned how to handle bills, resolve conflict, share responsibilities,support each other during hard times and see each other beyond the “dating version”
We saw each other sick, broke, stressed, emotional, tired, and imperfect and still chose each other.
By the time we got married, we weren’t strangers trying to figure life out. We were already partners.
Marriage didn’t start our relationship. It confirmed the life we had already built.
You may disagree with cohabitation, and that’s okay. Everyone has beliefs.
But reducing every couple who lived together to “fornicators” ignores reality and dismisses real commitment, growth, and intentional partnership.
Sometimes, cohabitation isn’t the absence of commitment.
Sometimes, it is the preparation for it.
