Curious, how does the bible define marriage? When I did my research, it says basically, when a man leaves parents and becomes one flesh with a woman. The state has a clear definition when you look it up. It says, 18 years old, agree to be married, live together and of course register your relationship with the state and officiated by priest, minister, Justice of peace. Furthermore, it goes on the have subsequent laws regulating what appears ro be nothing but economics…which make sense given the challenge a gov. would face trying to regulate feelings.
My partner wants to make me his wife but his timeline is 3-5 yrs but we both did not really know what we were doing by moving in together…I have received confirmations that he is going to be my husband but we made a commitment to The Lord to stop fornicating…but lately I have been asking God if we should still live apart until we get married…my partner has a strong desire to wait to have sex until marriage and so I do…without the sex but living together we have grown closer together…and we are learning how to get through life’s challenges together…we are both building relationships with Jesus individually and together and I just need to hear from God on this because maybe we could get separate apartments when our lease is us but still live in close proximity together until we are married

The only problem with this is that even if you do not live together there are no guarantees marriage will work. I have many friends including myself that didn’t live together until after marriage but infidelity came into the marital home with abuse. Thought we were marrying decent Christian men, now in our later years many of us are divorced and have lost a lot.
Do you not know that your bodies are temples ... you are not your own ... therefore honor God with your bodies. If we are a temple of God and we are made perfect in his image then why isn't tattooing ourselves just as bad? Who are we to think we can make it better? Would you be okay with someone putting tattoos on images of Jesus? Would you be okay with someone putting tattoos on all of the greatest works of art? In what way would you ever think that the one who created us would be perfectly okay with you desecrating his perfect creation? Your body is a temple. Your body is a vessel. Your body is not a canvas to do as you please.

Bible gives us fair warning to guard our hearts, and be wise in our choosing.
Then it wasn’t ordained by Him
