Relationships: Pre-Marriage Rules

Pre-Marriage “Rules”. Do you follow them?

If you read the bible, believe in God or are religious at all you know that living with your mate before actually tying the knot is a common no-no in the religious community. Whether you believe in God or not this stereotype or “sin” will follow you everywhere. I know many families who believe in this and have went as far as to disown their son or daughter for moving in with their mate before they actually marry. My own mother feels this way although she would never go as far as to disown me.

I personally believe that If I am going to spend the rest of my life with someone I need to get to know their bad habits, what they smell like in the morning and so on. I want to try it before I buy it. The common stereotype is that if you are living with your fiance’ you will engage in pre-marital sex. It unfortunately goes hand in hand with one another. Some couples stay separated until they tie the knot out of respect for their families and others move in anyways and say “Screw it!”

What I want to know is how did YOU do it? (if you are married)

How do YOU feel about this topic? Do you think it’s “wrong”? Do your families think it’s “wrong”?

How does this effect your own life/marriage?

I think this is truly something to think about. If you wait until after you signed the papers and are locked for life to move in together, will your marriage last because it’s “blessed by God”? Or will your marriage fail because you end up disliking the person more on account of not knowing who they truly are until you live with them everyday. And can you TRULY know someone until you live with them everyday? (I personally think that people can put on a huge facade for a long time but once you get into their comfort zone and see their daily habits, you find out who they really are)

While we are on the topic of “Pre-Marriage” Rules, let’s talk about pre-marital sex. How do you feel about this? It has become such a normality in this generation. I am not even sure I know anyone who does not engage in pre-marital sex. If you are religious and you still “do it” how does it make you feel? Guilty?

There are so many questions I am sure everyone has when it comes to religion and the bible. It is hard to hand out rules and say what is wrong and right. What is wrong to one person is totally right to another. Comment and let me know your opinions on these common pre-marital sins.
