Question:
Bishop Houston, my boyfriend and I have been living together for nine months, and we have a baby on the way. Our relationship has its good and bad times but, our love for each other is strong. Please, is it wrong for me to live together with my man without being married?
Congratulations!!! 😊
Your question is fantastic – Thank you for asking. ✝️❤️😊
Answer:
In 1 Thessalonians 5:22 (AMP), it tells us to “Abstain from every form of evil [withdraw and keep away from it].” Beloved, living together without being married, presents the presence of evil.
You see, living together indicates that the participating couple is willing to restrict their loyalty to one another. It also shows the relationship’s foundation is built on current views and emotions instead of long-term dedication and obligations. The foundation of their relationship isn’t based on God’s inspirational creativity for marriage nor His protocols that centralizes the extent and nature of the relationship.
If you’ll read Genesis 2:22-25, Ephesians 5:21-33, Hebrews 13:4, and Romans 13:1 you’ll find that they disclose both the spiritual and legal features of a marriage agreement. Without pledging to one another and God in the spiritual and legal aspects of marriage living together, breach the Word of God.
Beloved marriage is a sacred covenant in the eyes of God. “A MAN and A WOMAN” should make every effort to honor God and each other by obeying the Word regarding marriage. So yes, it’s wrong to live together. Amen? Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊
