Cohabiting.
Allen-T:
The Bible considers fornication a sin, but homosexuality is both a sin and an abomination because it's against nature. So homosexuality is worse. I consider most unmarried couples who live together, but are basically decent people as people blind to the truth. I don't feel hatred for them and quite often the more decent people I meet are living this way. I feel hate for "christians" I meet that think I am a racist because I want to close our borders, deport illegals and ship most blacks to Africa. I hate married affirmative action trash that I have had to deal with at my job who have gone out of their way to screw me. People who just screw anyone they meet are low lifes. But alot of decent people either cohabitate or have boyfriends/girlfriends they monogomously sleep with. It's wrong, but I won't turn my nose up at them because there are alot of married [deleted]. :-[

The guy in Lisa's tale must have been an alpha male. I myself would travel a distance of several hundred miles every weekend to pay obeisance to a nice woman over a period of two years in exchange for marriage at the end of those two years. This just shows that it's a case of sexual inequality and sexual selection. Some men get women in dozens at their feet while some men have to sell both their kidneys to get one half-way decent woman to look at them. I think it is a biological rather than a cultural thing. Women are programmed to want to have healthy offspring. Generally speaking the 'rougher' the guy the more virile he is and thus the healthier his children will be.
Women want such men to sow their oats in their fields but it is not a question of free will. It is biological.
Sarah:
Co-habiting and promiscuity leads to the break down of society. It causes illegitimate babies to be born, people to be hurt and an enomous sense of insecurity. These are the main disadvantages. However Homosexuality is preversely out of natural context and completely wrong. Co-habiting is a secretive, tolerated and covered sinful act. We don't see it as bad but i'm sure on religious grounds it is absolutely wrong.
sat_chit_anand:
If one wishes to live life the beautiful way one should try to put G-d first in any relationship one is having. Even with strangers, one should try to put G-d first.
So it not surprising that we have the institution of marriage to protect us, because lust can draw us away from love and God.
If you can co-habit and still sincerely try to put G-d first without the official document, then fine. You might be doing a lot better than many married couples.
I dislike the idea of the marriage being a mere business contract, it should be a contract which commits the couple religiously. That really should be the most important thing.

I don't see it that way. It's about a man and woman, vowing before G-d and their loved ones to build a home and family together. It's not just about a man providing a roof over a woman's head in exchange for sex. In Judaism, the man is obligated to also provide sexually for the wife. If not, I believe that is grounds for divorce.
