I see the author's name at the top now; however, I read the blog via email and it does not show who is writing the article. It would be nice if it did. I think we need to give Mike a little break here. Not all Christians think the same things are wrong i.e. living with his girlfriend. Also, it seems the ladies who posted responses have a problem with the relationship between Mike and his father. Guys will tell you that all men have disagreements with their fathers around that age...I know I did. It doesn't mean we don't love or respect our fathers, it just means it's about time to get out on our own. If not then we'd all still be living at home. Mike, thanks for responding.

You could have said something like, "We decided to live together, although now I know this is contrary to God's will." Why didn't you get married then instead of waiting a few years?

I too had to double and triple check who was writing and what blog I was on. I guess it shouldn't be surprising it would be so different without GLBL guy and we will all have to adjust accordingly. I would like to read Mike's definition of a Christian sometime. For some reason, Abraham Lincoln comes to mind (You can please all of the people some of the time ... ) :-) Wow.

He was 18 and disagreed with his Father? That's perfectly normal.

I will not judge what happened in your personal life. NONE of us are saints either (Romans 3:23). The decisions we made at 18 may or may not be the same decisions we would make at 38 or 58 or 98 (1 Corinthians 13:11). Good post!

However, I do not think, like in any other religions, that there is an absolute about faith and belief. I don’t see myself as a sinner because I have lived with the person I loved and helping her solving her personal problems before we get married. It’s all relative to where one has been raised and how religion was thought to him. It was important for me to get married and having my children to be baptized. I also intend to teach them about my faith and beliefs. However, I may not have the same Christian perspective than others on this blog. This was one of the big reasons why I have decided to keep Stew (besides the fact that he is an amazing writer) and make sure I learn from him and from you guys. I hope it clears up my intention toward this blog. I want to keep it with a Christian perspective but I can’t hope to write like Larry since I am not Larry… Thx for your comment. Mike. Sarah,

There are numerous reasons of social reasons for the rising practice of cohabitation. I believe in God and I don't think that living together before marriage is an offense against God's law!
