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 believe these two questions fit in the same category: First writer: "I have a relationship with a young man. He does not currently attend church. He states that he believes in Christ, but he has never been saved. When he was younger he was baptized. I enjoy going to church and [I am] praying to grow in the Lord. He would eventually like to be married. My question is, 'Should the saved marry the unsaved that has not fully committed himself to the Lord ?'"

I want help from the Bible on how to best represent my love for my fiancé.

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?

Hi! I am a Christian and have been married for 18 years. I have had 3 adulterous relationships over the years. One of them my husband knows about, the other 2 he does not know about. The first 2 occurred very close to each other. That was around 10 years ago. My marriage survived, but barely. The other one happened recently. It was a one-time thing.

My boyfriend and I have been together for the last 3 years. Lately we have been fighting about everything, and the last fight got pretty bad. He went to jail. I am so depressed without him. He wants to marry me, but doesn't want to because he cannot buy me a ring. What should I do?

My boyfriend and I have had a beautiful Christian relationship for almost 2 years. A few weeks before the engagement, he had been approached by a prostitute and had unprotected sex with her. I was very pained, more so because we were both saving ourselves for marriage, and also because he believed he had contracted an STD. I prayed for him and want to forgive and forget, but do not know what to do next. I feel very hurt.

My boyfriend and I are both Christians, and he is convincing me to have sex partially but not completely, but still I am not willing to have. Sometimes I get tempted. He is very loving to me.

My girlfriend and I have been dating for 5 years. She is Christian and I am just now starting to read my Bible and attend church. During our relationship, we have had sex. We both regret that this has happened. Is it possible to save ourselves?

How can I be 100% sure that God wants us to be together? I just want to make sure that this is God's will or else this relationship will be nothing. How can I be 100% sure that he's the one for me according to God's will? Please pray for me.

I am a Christian woman who is 21 years old. I recently signed a marriage contract marrying my Muslim boyfriend. We did all this at a mosque. I've been a fool. I made a mistake.

My mom's aunt raised her from 2 years old until she married. Is it unholy of me to date one of my great aunt's sons even though they consider my mom their sister?

My husband has left me for another woman after 24 yrs. of marriage. He has left our home for more than 9 yrs. We are still married, and I have been praying for a reconciliation.

I really do not want to upset my Lord, but I tell you, that a muslim man is the FIRST male that I have EVER gotten along so well with. He is unlike any male that I have EVER dated.
