Roman Catholic Answer:By "living together before marriage" I assume you are not talking about living as brother and sister, as the only thing wrong with that might be scandal, which, of itself, can be a grave sin. But the teaching of the church for over two thousand years has been that ANY sin outside of marriage and for the procreation of human life is a sin as it is against God's law. It is important when looking at this to remember that God made us, and sin is basically going against the way we are made. It is impossible to "hurt" God, although we talk that way, God is eternal, but we can hurt ourselves surely. Any time that you use something for something for which it was not designed you usually end up making a mess and breaking something. I'm trying to think of an analogy but everything I'm coming up with is too lame to write - like using a plastic teaspoon to scoop ice cream, and you end up be breaking the spoon. Stupid analogy, sorry. Man has a soul, when he has sex with another person, he is setting up a spiritual relationship along with the physical relationship. You end up hurting a woman if you have sex with her and you don't love her. Anytime you love someone, really love them, you would never hurt them, never. What people talk about "love" these days, they are really talking about lust, and that is not love. Love is something that grows as you get to know someone. I repeat if you really love someone you care too much about that person to ever hurt them, and sex outside of marriage hurts both people.

Is a marriage in the polish national Catholic church accepted by the roman Catholic church where man is Roman Catholic and woman is Polish national Catholic?
Yes, absolutely. The Roman Catholic church considers the marriage of any man and woman who are both baptized Christian, irregardless of specific faith, as being a sacramental marriage. This means it is allowed the supernatural graces by God to the couple who now have a vocation to leading each other to eternal life together.

No. The Bible says, "Let no man separate what God has joined together." This includes when He joins two people together in marriage..Catholic AnswerIt's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. The Catholic Church was formed and started by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, on the apostle Peter and his successors (Matthew 16:17-19) and guided by the Holy Spirit sent by Our Blessed Lord. It may only teach what has been revealed to it, and may not change any dogmas or doctrine that have been revealed. The Bible reflects this teaching on divorce in Matthew 19:3-12/Mark 10:2-12.
