I very much subscribe to the idea that living together before marriage is really important. I like the idea of marriage being a celebration of love, not a relationship definer that now allows you to get to know the person you just got married to. After getting married, I’d like it to be a blissful time, not a time of stress, adjustment, compromise, etc. I want all of that figured out beforehand!

I literally moved in with my boyfriend a week ago! Believe me girl I feel everything you were saying about the day being so long and tiring because my old place was an hour away from my new one and my boyfriend and I were both sick with covid so we were on our own moving 😅
The house is absolutely gorgeous, and Such a great video! I appreciate you sharing personal stuff with us but don’t feel pressured to do so! Also perfect place for the Vanity😍!!
I had never heard of reasons for not moving in together (besides the religious reasons) until I watched a Jordan Peterson video the other day and I can now say that I see both sides, but honestly I think it varies a lot with each couple! Personally I see moving in together like a step before marriage (I’ve been having a sort of semi-marriage experience sometimes I can say it’s so different !!) but there are couples who don’t do it and don’t have many problems or that move in together and never get married so it’s really just what’s best for each couple ❤️
i’m so excited for you! moving in with your boyfriend definitely shows you parts of your relationship you didn’t know existed- good & bad. i wish ya’ll the best, & praying God blesses you through this season 💓
Congrats on the new place! It would be interesting to see an updated what I spend in a day/month now that your life as changed so much. I believe the last one you did was in Utah?? Obvi only if you're comfortable with sharing that info only. Congrats again!!!!
makes me kind of disappointed to see so many people in the comments judging sydney. that being said, there is also a lot of support! congratulations sydney, sending good vibes and prayers your way :) God bless
I'm glad that you guys decided to move in together before marriage. I live with my boyfriend and it was definitely a great thing for us-- saving money, spending more time together, learning more about each other and being able to support each other way more than before. It's totally up to you guys whether you have sex or not , but I would encourage you guys not to feel like sex is a bad thing or a shameful thing , it's human nature and sexual compatibility is also another important piece before committing your life to someone. Also, don't let other people make you feel bad for your decision. I had so much push back from my family and friends, but moving in together ended up being a great decision for me
Sex before marriage may not be a bad thing to most people, but in the eyes of God it’s sinful. Sex is to be between one man and one woman who are married. That’s how God designed it. “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.” Hebrews 13:4 Anything outside of it goes against the Word of God. Sex isn’t a bad or shameful thing, but it is still supposed to be done the way God intended it to be. :)
the only thing is actually the whole thing on being sexually compatible is kinda a myth. sex is a skill and no matter if you’ve had 0 partners or 100, everyone’s bodies are different and everyone has different needs and preferences
Sydney, I have watched you since you claimed to be a Mormon, and I have seen your sweet, beautiful journey to loving Jesus and serving Him! Know that I have prayed for you and your walk with Him, specifically that you would follow Him in truth. I am also a Christian, and I’ve come to find that the closer I grow to Christ, the more I see my sin in light of His holiness. I respect that you guys are in different bedrooms, but I just want to leave you with a few verses that I think you need to hear. First, the people who say that following Jesus is just about love and joy and happiness are lying to you. As Christians, our main goal is to serve Christ. This looks like denying our self, taking up our cross, and following Christ (Matthew 16:24). This looks like striving to live a holy life- one free from sins. Of course, we understand that we will never reach the point where we are sinless until we are in heaven with Christ. But does that mean we continue on in our sin? No! We have been bought we a price, that is, the blood of Christ. Our desire should not just be to love Jesus, but to follow Him in truth. What did Jesus say? Does being a Christian mean just loving Jesus? Jesus says, “If you love Me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). Christianity isn’t about rule keeping; thankfully, because of the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary, His blood sufficiently covers all of our sins. But we deceive ourselves if we think He does not want us to live holy, unblemished lives. His desire for us is not our happiness; it’s for us to be conformed more and more into the image of His Son, so that we can be a testimony to the world that we serve the one, true God! “But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16 “How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:9-11. How do we know to live a life that pleases God? We live it according to His Word! “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.” Ephesians 5:3 We as Christians live by a different standard, that is, the standard of God. We don’t act and live like the world. Do not believe the lies that people in this comment section tell you. Don’t believe that a couple has to live together or sleep together before marriage so you can see what it will be like. Don’t believe the lies! That is not God’s standard. Don’t believe them when they tell you it’s best to live together before marriage. Its a lie! God’s design for marriage is this: that a man would find a wife, leave his father and mother, and cling to his wife, and the two will become one. Jesus says this (Matthew 19:1-12). Sydney, I say this in love to you. I care about you following Christ in truth! I have prayed for you as I’ve watched you seek Him🙏🏻Living with your boyfriend before marriage is not honoring to Christ, and it is deeply unwise because it opens you and your boyfriend up to immense temptation to sin before marriage. Please understand I care for you and all you need to concern yourself with is if you are truly honoring and seeking Christ with your whole heart in truth. Blessings❤️
Couldn't have said it better myself. I have no doubt she has good intentions, but even I have good intentions and have sinned in crossing boundaries with my boyfriend, and we don't even live together! Though she may not be sinning she is making it much harder to avoid sin with her boyfriend. Plus 1 Thessalonians 5:22 says "abstain from all appearances of evil." I personally don't think it's the best testimony to others because when you say you live with your boyfriend most people would assume that you're also sleeping together. I just hope all is well with her and am praying for her as well 💜
@@heidigroothuis611 Thank you for your encouraging comment! I agree with you. Sin isn’t something trivial or flippant. It’s something to take seriously! Sin separates us from God and grieves the Holy Spirit. It defiles a person and is not proper among the saints of God (Ephesians 5:3). Sin brings many consequences to our lives, especially when we live in unrepentant sin, deceiving ourselves to think God is pleased with us. God is holy and He hates sin. The grace of God isn’t an excuse to keep on sinning. I think if Sydney read the book of Romans, (if she hasn’t already), it would be such a powerful truth for her. Also, that verse you quoted is so true! If you are “living together” before marriage, people automatically assume you are having sex. Satan’s goal is to make Christian couples compromise their purity and fall into sin constantly through lust, and living together just is not wise before marriage. I pray Sydney will seek wisdom from Scripture and apply it to her current situation. She knows her heart, her desires, her temptations, and her intentions. I pray God will strengthen her in purity and she will live a holy life for His glory!❤️
I moved in with my boyfriend last year on my birthday in October & then I signed up to help volunteer at our church and they said that it’s the “policy” and I’m not allowed to help serve. All because I’m living with my boyfriend.
You're not really living together if it's two separate spaces. You still don't get to find out what their night/sleeping habits are if you say goodnight and go to your own bedrooms to sleep. It also gives the other the opportunity to "run away" to their own space when you have a fight vs having to stick together and work it out.
Congratulations! I loved when my husband would move apartments while stationed in Wisconsin, before we moved to Nevada and bought a house. I'm so glad you finally got to move to a new apartment and you get to split rent. It's also nice to live with someone you like, again.
So incredibly happy for you Syd! I also agree about moving in with your significant other before marriage! It helps you learn the other person so much! Congratulations you two! 🥳
I am really really excited for you and your boyfriend as you you deserve to have some enjoyment in your life please stay safe and strong prayers and thoughts for you both and your families love your family friend John from Australia xxx
Syd, be so careful! So much room for temptation! i was in a similar situation (we got out of it as soon as was possible) but we had strict rules about not coming in each other’s rooms, or being alone together in the apt. Also be careful not to give the appearance of evil, which scripture commands! Cohabiting is very much a trend of the world, not the Bible. People will assume you’re sleeping together.
i’m hoping she doesn’t give her followers the wrong idea, as she is a Christian. If she wasn’t I wouldn’t have anything to say about it, but as a follower of Christ she does have a responsibility to the people following her life.
The difference between you and most Christians your age is that you understand that God makes the rules and doesn't need any editing from anybody else based on current social norms. Keep it up!
ahhh I’m so happy for you syd. you deserve it. I’m so incredibly proud of you and can’t wait to see you in the new journey in ur life. love u forever sydddd🤍!
@@sydfrances Although I agree with you that we should not judge others, I do believe that we should always help others to be better Christians (with love and kindness of course). And part of "following" jesus is following his teachings, or "rules". There is right and wrong. I sympathize a lot with you on how you grew up, and the man made rules that you were supposed to follow, as I grew up similarly. But that being said, we should always live according to God's word, which most definitely has rules.😊 I wish you all the best! I've loved watching you grow the past 6 years❤
@@sydfrances but judgment begins with the household of God (1 Peter 4:17). if I see a brother or sister in Christ walking in a manner unworthy to the Lord, I by all means under God have the responsibility to lovingly present the Word of God to them. To remind them of what God says about the sin they are walking in. (Galatians 6:1, Luke 17:3-4) I would encourage reading these verses!
Love the new apartment and can’t wait to see how you decorate it! You really don’t have to justify your living arrangements or why! I completely get the reason behind what you said and as long as you are inline with God and how he is in your relationship then it’s no difference than when you were living with your friend. That’s between you, your bf and God! It’s a beautiful place and excited for you.
hey syd, i’ve been watching you for a while and i was wondering if you’re on birth control still? i’m almost 21 and i want to get on birth control and i’ve tried the pill but i can’t keep track of taking it everyday 😭. what bc do you use if you use any at all?
I’m also moving in with my s/o (fiancé) in a couple weeks. We’re not getting married for another year but it makes sense to live together now. I love hearing your thoughts and reasons behind it. It helps affirm the decision we’ve made as well.
Sydney I now this is a lot to ask for but I really want to be a TH-camr and I was wondering if you could give me a shoutout no problem if you can’t or do not want to
Hey Syd, not sure if you’re familiar with Kyle and Kian or Kian Wolfgang on here but I think you would find her and her husbands videos very encouraging more specifically the ones about why her and her now husband chose to move in together and also like you, had separate rooms. I think at the end of the day you know how much self control you have. If the living situation is tempting you to have sex before marriage, then maybe reconsider. And if it’s not then you can equally be honest with yourself and continue. But be willing and open to seeking wisdom from older and wiser people in your church/ Christian mentors someone who actually knows you in real life not just a viewer. A couple to keep you both accountable is also a great idea. You and I have actually had similar experiences as far as just life in general so I can relate to why you have chosen to make the decision you did but again only you know what you’re capable of, no one else. Hope this is encouraging to you 💛
The reason most Christians avoid living together before marriage is purely to reduce the temptation. As the Bible says everything you do, do to the glory of God, so as long your honouring your relationship with God then why should we judge!
Why should we judge either way?,she can do what she likes with her body,if she decides to "give in to temptation" then that's completely fine,doesn't make her a bad person and she hasn't sinned,she got out of all that crap so let her live her life
I wish you the best of luck, but please keep in mind that cohabiting can lead to a near occasion of sin and should really always be avoided apart from exceptionally rare circumstances. I'm not saying this to judge, but I feel like it must be made known.
These reasons are all how the world views prepping for marriage. None of them actually do any of the things you think they will accomplish. It’s disappointing your pastor, friends and mentor gave you their approval. I’m sure you will find many who think it’s a wonderful move in your life, but it’s setting yourself up for failure.
this is how i see it. first of all, living with your boyfriend is not a sin, the bible doesn’t say anything about it. can it lead to sin? absolutely! i personally wouldn’t do it because i don’t consider myself strong enough not to fall into temptation. Syd & her boyfriend felt like they are strong enough & that’s them, if their pastors & their mentors thought they weren’t strong enough to do that i’m sure they would’ve let them know. i personally don’t think spending so much time together in a relationship it’s even healthy let alone live together, or filling spots that only a wife should be filling (like doing laundry for boyfriend, cooking for boyfriend, etc. i don’t know what syd will be doing for him, she might not be doing any of that, i can’t assume her 24 hours by a 16 minute video). i personally don’t feel like it’s healthy to have that much intimacy in a relationship (because sex is not the only form of intimacy). but that’s my opinion, that’s what i wouldn’t do. i have different convictions than what syd & her bf have, we all have different convictions, there’s probably things that i can do that syd probably can’t because it’s a trigger for her to fall into sin. so i can’t really judge her, because she’s not sinning, she’s an adult, she’s feels peace with her decision, she feels God approves this, i’m sure she wouldn’t be in peace or doing this if she didn’t feel like God approved.
@@bethwaldehanna9801 i’m 24. i believe they can live together & not sleep together, i’ve seen people close to me do it, it’s not impossible. also, according to christian values it is not ok. Syd claims to be christian so i’m holding her up to christian values. if you’re not christian & you think it’s okay, that’s okay, i can’t hold you to the same values since we don’t believe the same thing. plus, if they’re sleeping together or not, it’s really non of my business, that’s between them & God.

also love the separate rooms idea, I can’t fathom sharing a room!
Right it's your life
Love the new apartment and can’t wait to see how you decorate it! You really don’t have to justify your living arrangements or why! I completely get the reason behind what you said and as long as you are inline with God and how he is in your relationship then it’s no difference than when you were living with your friend. That’s between you, your bf and God! It’s a beautiful place and excited for you.
Not me trying to see boyfriend through syds glasses😂
hahahah i checked already
Lol we have seen him before tho
@@sydfrances lol love you Girl! Been watching your vids since day 1❤️
So happy for you
Congrats, and sending you both lots of love:)

So happy for you, woohoo!! Hope Phoenix settled in well ♥️

I’m also moving in with my s/o (fiancé) in a couple weeks. We’re not getting married for another year but it makes sense to live together now. I love hearing your thoughts and reasons behind it. It helps affirm the decision we’ve made as well.
Cute!! So happy with your decision for yourself!
Congratulations 👏 to you both on living together ❤
You don’t owe anyone an explanation!!!
wait- I think I missed a few chapters😭 Last I checked you were living with your new friends lol
Where’s your zora and ace
What?!??!
Hi Sydney
Sydney I now this is a lot to ask for but I really want to be a TH-camr and I was wondering if you could give me a shoutout no problem if you can’t or do not want to
Brett Cooper!!!👀
Hey Syd, not sure if you’re familiar with Kyle and Kian or Kian Wolfgang on here but I think you would find her and her husbands videos very encouraging more specifically the ones about why her and her now husband chose to move in together and also like you, had separate rooms. I think at the end of the day you know how much self control you have. If the living situation is tempting you to have sex before marriage, then maybe reconsider. And if it’s not then you can equally be honest with yourself and continue. But be willing and open to seeking wisdom from older and wiser people in your church/ Christian mentors someone who actually knows you in real life not just a viewer. A couple to keep you both accountable is also a great idea. You and I have actually had similar experiences as far as just life in general so I can relate to why you have chosen to make the decision you did but again only you know what you’re capable of, no one else. Hope this is encouraging to you 💛
The reason most Christians avoid living together before marriage is purely to reduce the temptation. As the Bible says everything you do, do to the glory of God, so as long your honouring your relationship with God then why should we judge!
Why should we judge either way?,she can do what she likes with her body,if she decides to "give in to temptation" then that's completely fine,doesn't make her a bad person and she hasn't sinned,she got out of all that crap so let her live her life
I wish you the best of luck, but please keep in mind that cohabiting can lead to a near occasion of sin and should really always be avoided apart from exceptionally rare circumstances. I'm not saying this to judge, but I feel like it must be made known.
she knows this lol it is for financials
sex is a sin? 😅
Oh have a day off, having sex with someone you love is not a sin,it's a VERY natural part of a progressing relationship.
Omg yay

Nice video
These reasons are all how the world views prepping for marriage. None of them actually do any of the things you think they will accomplish. It’s disappointing your pastor, friends and mentor gave you their approval. I’m sure you will find many who think it’s a wonderful move in your life, but it’s setting yourself up for failure.
pretty sure she’s an adult and can make decisions for herself!
Shes old enough to make her OWN decisions. And if her friends and family are ok with it I think thats more important then what a stranger has to say
this is how i see it. first of all, living with your boyfriend is not a sin, the bible doesn’t say anything about it. can it lead to sin? absolutely! i personally wouldn’t do it because i don’t consider myself strong enough not to fall into temptation. Syd & her boyfriend felt like they are strong enough & that’s them, if their pastors & their mentors thought they weren’t strong enough to do that i’m sure they would’ve let them know. i personally don’t think spending so much time together in a relationship it’s even healthy let alone live together, or filling spots that only a wife should be filling (like doing laundry for boyfriend, cooking for boyfriend, etc. i don’t know what syd will be doing for him, she might not be doing any of that, i can’t assume her 24 hours by a 16 minute video). i personally don’t feel like it’s healthy to have that much intimacy in a relationship (because sex is not the only form of intimacy). but that’s my opinion, that’s what i wouldn’t do. i have different convictions than what syd & her bf have, we all have different convictions, there’s probably things that i can do that syd probably can’t because it’s a trigger for her to fall into sin. so i can’t really judge her, because she’s not sinning, she’s an adult, she’s feels peace with her decision, she feels God approves this, i’m sure she wouldn’t be in peace or doing this if she didn’t feel like God approved.
@@lunagrae853 omg are you 12? Genuinely asking. Bc they are obviously sleeping together. And that's okay.
@@bethwaldehanna9801 i’m 24. i believe they can live together & not sleep together, i’ve seen people close to me do it, it’s not impossible. also, according to christian values it is not ok. Syd claims to be christian so i’m holding her up to christian values. if you’re not christian & you think it’s okay, that’s okay, i can’t hold you to the same values since we don’t believe the same thing. plus, if they’re sleeping together or not, it’s really non of my business, that’s between them & God.
Awesome
YOU WATCH BRETT COOPER??!
