COHABITATION, COMMITMENT & God’s Design for Relationships

COHABITATION, COMMITMENT & God's Design for Relationships is a concise Christian minibook that addresses one of today's most common relationship questions: Is it okay for couples to live together before marriage?

Written in a warm, pastoral, and non-judgmental tone, this book explains the biblical perspective on cohabitation, sexual intimacy, and marriage covenant while also engaging with modern social research on relationship outcomes.

It is especially aimed at:

•Young adults navigating dating relationships
•Engaged couples seeking biblical foundations
•Christians who have drifted from biblical teaching on sexuality
•Readers curious about how faith intersects with modern relationship culture

Topics covered include:

•What the Bible teaches about marriage as a covenant
•Why sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage in Scripture
•The difference between commitment and cohabitation
•Common myths about "living together first"
•Research findings on relationship stability and marriage outcomes
•Grace, forgiveness, and practical steps for those already cohabiting

Each chapter builds toward clarity and application, helping readers understand not only what the Bible says, but why it matters today.

Includes 4 Appendices: with FAQs,  Discussion Questions,  Scripture references and Resources.
