This is a great article.

I think every couple should read this before they consider getting into a relationship.
I wish you the best....

Congrats!

lol WA, don't you think couples are already in a relationship? (Otherwise they wouldn't be a couple... )

Well everything went great, he didn't ask straight up if we lived together but when we wrote our address down on the form we both wrote the same address and he didn't say anything. We start our classes next spring so im excited

You have to start somewhere - and if you are thinking about someone - but are not yet serious - its good advice to read.

Therefore not ending up in a miserable marriage since the majority of cohabits struggle later in the marriage and statistically divorce because they didnt wait til marriage.

God gave us a design to follow - because He already knows our vices.

Love others is important to Him, and evil in fornication suffocates love, hence it is a sin.

I know of no one who assuredly knew they were a couple on the 1st date. There is definite interest - but future plans are not concreted the 1st time you meet.
So as you go along - and think maybe they could be the right one - reading that article could make all the difference in the world if the relationship will be successful in marriage.

MANY couples think sex is the answer to see if you are 'compatible' and that is the worst thing to do.

Premarital sex is a sin and is wrong, but let's not get carried away here. Most couples that stay together for life had sex with eachother before they were married.
