My daughter is 19, and will be going to an art college about an hour away. She will be getting an apartment, however, she recently told me that she and her boyfriend (who is going to a college near hers) plan to find an apartment together. This blew my mind.
She and her boyfriend have been dating for about 4 1/2 years, and plan spend their future together, however, they don't want to get married for another 4 years!! She told me it was because they wanted to have money for large wedding to celebrate and they've been committed to each other for so long already, (they've never had commitment problems) that they feel that getting married is just a piece of paper and a few diamonds that say their together. While I know their in love, I cannot support this lifestyle. I KNOW what they'll be doing if they live together, and it's against biblical teachings. My husband and I are Jehovah's Witnesses. Our daughter made it clear to us that she is agnostic.
How can I handle all this?
