YESSSSS!!!!!!!!! You no its wrong do the right thing and if he can't respect you for that you shouldn't get married to him!!!!
Yes, it is wrong to live together before marriage. Many times in The Bible it says 'relationship' (hint, 3 letter word) is preserved fro marriage ONLY. I believe it's even wrong to live together without a relationship. Not to mention it will be too tempting for most. So just wait a while longer until you're married to live together.
Can I please correct this? (obviously, I'm not the same person who wrote the above statement)It does not state flat out in the Bible not to live together before marriage. As you well know, premarital intercourse is the guideline for this belief. The only thing the Bible does say is (paraphrased) 'Do not give an appearance of Sin'; so, people assume that if you are living together, you are also sleeping together.Personally, I think that when people judge you, that is their fault. I could see if you went around drawing "I love the devil" on your forehead and walking around in public, I could see how you would be giving the appearance of sin. But if people want to throw the first stone and make assumptions that you are a dirty you-know-what because you are living with your boyfriend/girlfriend/fiance, that is their problem and they will have to answer to God. Remember, you only answer to God. If you know that living together will increase the temptation of premarital sex, then its probably not a good idea to live together. But if you know that you can stay strong, then go ahead and do it. God sees the heart, don't forget that. Man -made rules like "living together" are arbitrary and useless in his eyes. And remember, if you get there and realize there is temptation, you can always seek help from a counselor, priest, etc. or move out. Christians aren't supposed to be condemning, they are supposed to be supportive and loving; if we aren't, how can we prove that God is to a nonbeliever?
What else can I help you with?
When is marriage first mentioned in the bible?
The very first marriage in the Bible was between Adam and Eve. Although the word marriage was not used, it says in Gen 2:24: "Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh." The Hebrew word used "wife" is defined as woman, wife (married to a man), female. The verse actually describes what marriage is: the joining of a man and a woman to create a new entity or family.Genesis 29:18-30 describes Jacob betrothal to Rachel.Laban replied, "It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older one." Gen 29:26.
Does it say anywhere in the bible that you have to get married in a church.Can i get married at the justice of the peace and it be a holy union in the eyes of God?
No where in the Bible does it state that a Marriage must be done in a church. Remember God is the God of ALL, the most important thing is to get married and not to live in sin. This is stated many times in the Bible. Saying this however, formal ceremonies may be preferred by you family members. Remember marriage is suppose to be a once in a life time thing. You are not suppose to get divorced with the one exception (if your spouse cheated on you). But Jesus said Moses allowed this because of the hardness of your hearts and in the beginning this was not so. In other words, once you get married it is a once in a lifetime occurrence. The Bible also says you are no longer two but one flesh. It also says, let no man separate what God has joined. So make the best of this one time event!

Are there marriages in heaven?
Matthew 22:30 says "at the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven."

Once in Heaven, a marriage between a man and woman is not necessary because that relationship between man and God is restored.
Why did the Protestants place emphasis on the literacy of the laity?
In Protestantism, the Bible is the supreme authority for all religious matters-not the sacraments or the rules and interpretations of the Bible set down by a central authority figure such as the Roman Catholic Pope, for example.During the Protestant Reformation, when the Bible was widely published, Protestants were encouraged to read the bible directly for themselves.Thie produced a literate Protestant population, as the Roman Catholic Church theology at this time did not encourage people until a later time to read and interpret the Bible directly for themselves. Protestants are still guided by principals gleaned from the Bible rather than rules and ritual emenating from a church hierachy.
