Is it alright for two Christians to live together without being married? My sister's boyfriend's brother, who is a Christian, lives with his girlfriend. I don't know if there is any sexual activity going on, but I think this is influencing my sister to consider doing the same. She feels that there is nothing wrong with spending the night at her boyfriend's house or having him spend the night at our house. How does God feel about this? Is it living in sin?

I recently found out my husband has a profile on -----.net and --------.com. After having a check up, I found out that I have a STD. What does the Bible say to do?”

This is embarrassing, but I can't get knowledge if this act of oral sex is considered immoral within the marriage. If two consenting adults, I was told, then it would be all right. What if one does not consent-namely the wife who is supposed to be submissive to her husband. Please help me!
Hello Gary and Marlene, I thank you for your response and prayers. I have some good news, but I did want to answer your question first. I did live with my husband during our engagement for about a year before we were married. We dated about 2 years, were engaged, and will be married 2 years in the beginning of September. Regardless, I had confessed and repented of the sin of living together shortly after we married.

What does the Bible say about not having sex, but living together before marriage?
I was reading the entries on sleeping together but not having sex and I am sad because it is true. I did not get burnt completely, but I sort of did. We sort of did, and now I feel very bad. I don't know how to go past this. I am truly ashamed, and I said those words, I have self-control. I am still a virgin, but I am scared to think of how far we let things go. I have asked God for forgiveness , but how can I forgive myself ?
What does the Bible say about "sleeping together." I don't mean sex. I mean 2 people snoozing in the same bed and waking up together. I have a few friends that don't have sex but believe that it's okay to sleep in the same bed. What scriptures can I use to prove to them that this is a sin?

So is kissing wrong and ‘foreplay?' Where do you draw the line?
I am a Christian woman, living with a non-Christian man. Living together bothers me and I know it is a sin. I love him and want to marry him, but is it wrong when he is a non-Christian?
If you have committed adultery and confessed your sin do you have to tell your spouse?
I have been in sooo many adulterous relationships...that I do not even know if I can remember all of them. I have prayed to God for forgiveness and I realize that I need to do the same for my ex spouse.
This last couple weeks I had been trying to be faithful to Him and follow what He wants me to do and not to intentionally sin, but it sometimes seems hard to do. Any ways this was my first bi-sexual experience and I don't think I want to do it again. Do you think God can still forgive me even after I intentionally disobeyed Him knowing what I did was wrong?
I'm a christian and still a virgin, but I have a fiancé and our wedding is soon. My fiancé , who also says he is a christian, has not been all that open about his past relationships.
