Question: Is it really that sinful to live with your boyfriend/girlfriend when you are not married? My boyfriend and I have been going out for almost 2 yrs. I am graduating this year and he will early next year from college. We plan on working fulltime and saving up money so we can both move out and move in together within the next 2 years, then save up money to get married about a yr or so after that. Some people are saying " you should not live in sin" because they think we should get married first. We will nto have enough money to get married in a nice wedding and move in at the same time and also do not wnat ot be married and sitll living at home. What do you think? Any help and comments will be apprciated. Thanks!

Answer: I sometimes wonder which century people are living in, when they come out with comments like living in sin!\n\nIf you can't afford to get married, etc, then it's  better to live without debt and be "sinners" than to burden yourselves with years of paying back money just to please people who would only criticise you for spending what you don't have. \n\nYou don't have to feel obligated to please other people; I'm sure they aren't all falling over themselves to please you! \n\nErgo: Do what makes YOU happy!
