You are free to do whatever you want but God does advise His believers to avoid the appearance of evil. I would not live with a man because first of all that's supposed to be the privilege of being married. Also, if I am a practicing christian how is that to be explained to unbelievers? This is not a judgemental topic. It's a very valid one in this age of disappearing traditional man-woman family.
I thank you for your kind reaction, and respect your choices as well. I just feel that this topic exists solely for traditional loyalists to bash everyone who doesn't conform to their views. Someone here mentioned "raised eyebrows" of neighbors who see an unmarried couple living together. Why do they need to "raise an eyebrow"? It's not their business.
I'll gladly "appear to be evil", if it means I have better knowledge and confidance about the major life-altering decision I'm about to make.
In my health book it talked about the five different types of families.
FIVE?
I can think of one type of family:
Mom+Dad+kids
