Cohabitation

When it comes down to it Tasha, it's all up to you. Each person is unique and has their own path to follow and views of right and wrong. We each have a little voice in our head that we call a conscience. We can only hope that when we realize that our whole life comes down to our own decisions and not someone else's, that we have made the correct choices that allow us to find true happiness. We all hate the idea of being controlled by a guy in the sky. However, we aren't being controlled by anyone or anything. Rather, we have a roadmap and a template that we are free to use or throw away. It's the consequences that the world has an aversion to. They misconstrued a life of challenge and choice with one of control. They utterly despise what they hear therefore they rebel or better yet ignorantly cover their ears. God isn't allowing or not allowing anything to happen, and when evil things do happen, he cares more than you know. He watches us choose to make the right choices and make this world a better place. On the other side of the coin, he also watches us choose to make the wrong choices and destroy it. That is the purpose. The human spirit is a force so remarkable that when pushed to the limit can be an instrument of incredible destruction, or the vanguard of peace and creation. This world is but a stage for the final act. To steal a line from Gladiator, "what we do in life, echoes in eternity". So to answer your question Tasha from a religious stand point. No one knows. It is a choice that is left up to you, a choice you make after listening to that "little voice". No man, computer, nor religious institution can tell you for certainty what the better option is. You can only hope, no wish, nay pray, that someday you made the right choice. That is all.

This is a conversation that I personally wrote to a friend regarding whether or not she should move in with her boyfriend before marriage.
