I will say this though - the pastor has a point. I strongly believe that living with someone before marriage is a bad idea. Studies have shown that couples who live together before marriage are actually MORE likely to get divorced than those who did not.
Marriage is a covenant, and there should be something special, something held back from the relationship, until it's done under the sanctity of marriage.

I absolutely agree. If you aren't sure you want to be married or rush into things, don't move in together. Keep your lives separate until you're committed to sharing your lives for good. You should never have to smell the morning breath of someone who isn't your spouse!
