IS LIVING TOGETHER BEFORE MARRIAGE GOOD OR BAD?



 I personally think that living together before marriage is a bad idea. I mean given where I am coming from. I am a christian and call me old fashioned i really value God's principles and i try by his grace walk according to his will. I am not saying I am  perfect nor holy.

 From a Christian perspective, living together can be a temptation. Nevertheless, it depends on your mental fortitude.

This is why i think it is bad.

 1. Hebrews 13:14 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. 

There are certain things you should know about each other, but you don't have to live together for that. I mean you can ask each other, get to know each other, find out both of you have similar values and beliefs without staying together.
My mum likes saying that you cannnot buy a cow if you getting free milk from it everyday. When you live with a guy you somehow going to act like his wife, cook, clean and fulfull his desires in the bedroom. What happens when you guys have issues and break up.  You would have made a soul tie to that guy and it breaks you emotionally.  Its  hard hey. So why not date, get to know each other but not live together.

  I Corinthians 6: 18-20 

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

I think that as women we need to have a standard and not let guys control us. We gotta stand for what we believe. Don't let a guy fool you. Don't lose your dignity .If he really wants to be with you, he can wait until he puts the ring on it. That's when you can move in with him.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

THE SORBET FACE ELECTRIC BRUSH

The  sorbet rechargeable cleanser  removes dirt from pores much more effectively and gently than that of normal cleansing. The fine exfoliating bristles ensure deeper cleansing and gently remove dead skin cells, revealing brighter, more youthful looking skin. This ensures that subsequent face creams or serums are also absorbed better into the skin. The cleanser is fully water-resistant which makes it safe to use and store in the bathroom.  It comes with 3 different heads (a daily cleansing brush, the exfoliating brush (with fine tapered bristles) and a silicone brush head for extra delicate skin).  I have found that I tend to use the daily cleansing brush every evening after doing a pre-cleanse to remove the bulk of my makeup and then I use the silicone brush head in the morning.  I use the exfoliating once a week. I love that the cleanser comes with a USB charger which makes it easy enough to charge – no need to worry about batteries.  A single charge will also last y

YOU GIVE ME JOY

Image
Lately, God has been teaching me to humble myself under his almighty wings. He is God, he is my creator, and he knows me inside out. He knows my thoughts, my needs and my heart desires. What an amazing God I serve, no body like him.  BAD HAIR DAY...STILL SAVED BY GRACE When I consider his love for me, it leads me to desire to walk in his ways, to live by faith and not by sight. In God I found my being. Ladies, know your worth. Discover who you are, your identity. When we lack identity, we seek opportunity to show others who we are. This leads us to become narcissistic and wish for people to approve us. That’s why at the end of the day, we exalt our self, and we promote ourselves and live to please other people. We become so obsessed with filtering our pictures, posting every move we make, designer bags, expensive dresses whist on the inside we are empty. Get me right, there is nothing wrong with buying expensive items and all of that. Do it for you and not for the next

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Problems sharpens us. Problems brings us closer to God. The more a pencil is sharpened, the more it works wonders. Don’t worry when life turns differently, stand more, fast more, pray more, read the bible more and love others more. Though pain may come in the evening, joy comes in the morning. Remain positioned in the Lord, even if seems like he failed to save you. Let him be his your Lord and personal savior. Don’t compare yourself with your neighbor. Let your care be your care and theirs be. No matter what you are going through just know that God will never leave you nor forsake you. Your life is in the hands of the potter. His thoughts, plans and ideas are not like ours. U can’t be better than God. Know your fate. Don’t live your life empty spirited. Open your heart and let Jesus come into your life. I encourage you to turn to God. May your worship not be dictated by your situation.  He is God in and out of every situation.You are not alone. You can overcome that depression, t
