Why Living Together Before Marriage Is Unwise

Melody and C.D. Fabien made headlines for waiting to kiss until marriage. Now more than a decade later, they're doing "dating discipleship" work with couples who feel confused about the in between, wanting to date intentionally before getting engaged. 

In this conversation with the Perrys, the Fabiens discuss what it means to date with godly wisdom, lead with integrity, and pursue purity that lasts beyond the wedding day. Melody and C.D. say that obedience is inconvenient but it's always worth it. They make a case for why living together before marriage is actually spoken against in the Bible, and they offer encouragement around boundaries, conviction, repentance and community. 

This is just part one of the conversation. Listen in and then come back next week to hear the rest. 

Scripture references:

• Ephesians 5:25
• Matthew 5:30
• James 5:16
• Romans 6
• 2 Timothy 2:20-21
