I was never brought up on religion, but my boyfriend was, and has very christian parents. We've been dating for a long time, and want to move in together. However, his parents not only disapprove of me (Due to my lack of religion) but also disapprove of people moving in together before marriage. I'm unaware of anything in Christianity that states this, and it seems kind of ridiculous in this day and age to jump into a marraige before you know if you can handle seeing eachother almost 24 hours a day. I feel kinda like i'm getting screwed and his parents are using their religion as a cover for the real problem. Is anyone aware of anything anywhere in the bible that states this? I know this seems a little dear abby, but I don't have any Christian friends to ask.

well, i'm not christian but the way i see it, it should be between you and your boy. if he believes that its allright to move in together, and you also think so, then go ahead and do it. his parents are gonna get used to the fact that the times are changing.

although there is the commandment of children respect your parents.. so if the guy's parents don't approve of it, he's gonna have to respect them if he's looking for the christian thing to do.

actually, his brilliant idea was to not tell them. But there's no way i'm hiding in a closet every time they come over unanounced. Like they wouldn't figure it out eventually anyways.

the bible suggests no sex until your married. it doesnt say you shouldnt move in together. it does suggest to do what your parents say. it also suggests you not lie. it doesnt seem all that ridiculous to me... and im not a xian either. is this poncho a xian? if not than hes as much of a pansy as i am.

yeah no sex before marriage. so if you're not sleeping together.. . your sin-free in that regard. but if by moving in together you are planning on regular sex well sorry toots.
on the other hand, if you're getting it on anyway, there's really no difference is there? i'm not judging or anything, just letting ya know on what grounds it is a sin. personally i'd move in with him but forget the lying
