Plus, it's also about habits; people let their guard down when they live together. Example: Can a person honestly live with someone who has this staunch very filthy habit of _______? As the person didn't know about it when just dating. Not living together, you tend to just see mostly other's best side only; a person can't keep that up 24/7 when living together. Eventually, the worst comes out. If you can live with that person being that way for the rest of your life--FINE! But now you know about it before marriage. If not, maybe time to have a talk, and possibly each make different (separate) plans for their future....
Also, what I want to emphasis what is said in this article "No, cohabitation isn't automatically sinful."
Right.
But I totally agree living together before marriage is a bad idea, IF either one isn't very strong in faith, doesn't really fear God (I mean in the honoring, worshipful way) and doesn't make 1 Corinthians their life mantra: "Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all for the glory of God", then yes--DON'T COHABITATE.
Also, there are many married couples who don't have sex, but live like roommates. Even sleeping in the same bed, but don't have sex (not that I would encourage this--I would not...too inappropriate before marriage, in my opinion), and I'm not just talking about Christians; non-Christian married couples not having sex exist, too.
So not all of us are weak in that area.
Sex isn't about love...
It's about the act of procreating, period.
