TLDR
Here’s my short and concise answer.
Because the kinds of people who would not move in together before marriage have traditional morals and values. Those are the same kind of people who believe in making marriage work and making it healthy.
Plain and simple.
This is me applauding what you wrote!
Good answer.
IMHO, one side-effect of the left pushing the gay and transgender thing is it further normalize heterosexual hedonism.
We've already gone from "Hey, we're living together. At least I'm not treating her like a one night stand." to
"At least my one night stands aren't treating my female friends like sex objects, the one night stands know what they're getting into." to
"Friends with benefits is normal. At least it's not like gay stuff."
Even if us Christians win the argument and society realizes the gay and transgender thing is dumb, the Dims' push for very crazy sex practices has normalized just sorta crazy sex practices.
**have traditional morals and values**
Amen!! My wife and I waited until marriage, and are so glad we did! (wedding night was a clumsy learning experience, lol)
“Those are the same kind of people who believe in making marriage work and making it healthy.”
Yep...and that can be and I’d hard work.
Which is why I think there are so many divorces.....one or both parties refuse to put in the work necessary.
Right on the money, and I think this is what the article was saying in a more round-about way.
Yes.
However, moral people are the ones who are “weird” and “sanctimonious” and get shouted down for the last 50 years.
Amazing I got through that my whole life and had no thought of shacking up.
Yes!!
I then asked her when she married Grandpa did she love him? She started laughing boisterously on the phone. She said “no, I married him because he owned a farm and I was a single mother in the 1930s.” I thought, wow so much for love. But then she said something I have passed down to my children. She said, “but one morning years later I woke up, looked at the man sleeping next to me and thought I never want to wake up and not see him there. That's when I knew I loved your Grandpa.”
That's why you marry, and not live together first. You go through the tough times together, grow to trust and find comfort in each other. One day you wake and realize you really are in love.
I think that people who have moved in together decide to rescue their relationship that is not working by getting married and then when it does not improve their failing relationship decide to get a divorce...
Excellent
