I apologize for not posting in a while.....I know you have been patiently waiting :)
I have been receiving numerous questions to be answered from bloggers, once again, thanks for being bold and sending me your questions.
As always, I will make sure to remain anonymous as I post your question and answer it here on my blog
Bloggers question:
"Can I move in with a guy who has promised to make me his wife? He has given me a ring, so we just need to set a date to get married. Can we have sex?"
Dear bloggers,
The answer to your questions are short and simple. Also straight to the point.
No, you should not move in with you boyfriend even if he promised to get married to you. If he proposed to you and gave you an engagement ring, then he is your fiancé now. But fiancé does not make you a married couple yet. You need to show him that you want to follow the right morals, that you want to do things the right way.
In the Bible it says:
'It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband'
1 Corinthians 7:1-2
If you guys want to have sex, then get married. If you want to move in with each other, then get married first. Most men make so many promises first, just to have sex, then you sit around waiting for that marriage that you've always dreamed off and most of the times, it doesn't happen.
Before getting married you have to see if the two of you are the right fit. Do you love him? does he love you? Are the two of you financially established? can he support you as a man? Is God in first place ? If so and you are desperate to move in and have sex, then get married this week. If he promised to make you his wife and you want to move in together, then get married immediately. That way you won't sin in lust for each other. But, if you say, no, we aren't financially ready for a marriage, he's not ready to get married now, or visa versa. We still getting to know each other.......then wait! Get everything in order first, then get married.
Moving in with each other and having sex is something you do when you are married. That is a big deal before God. Sex is becoming one with your mate. How are you going to have sex and become one, when your marriage hasn't even been presented to God?
So my answer to your question is NO! No you should not move in with your fiancé until you get married first, and NO you can not have sex until you get married. Sex is to be preserved for your husband/wife, and since you aren't married yet, then you should wait until you do get married.
I hope this answer was helpful to you. You know who you are......
Again, Thanks for the question
