Can we move in and live together before marriage? We never had sex and we will abstain until we get married.
We would first like to commend you for your respect for God’s laws. Although there are no scriptural references that specifically forbid unmarried couples from living in the same abode, it certainly makes good moral sense to live apart. Here's why.
