We both live in separate states and have had a long distance relationship for three years but have dated for more than five. I am more of a conservative Christian and he is liberal. If I move-in with him, does this affect my spiritual relationship with God?

I am fully aware of my sinful actions of participating in pre-marital sex, but that does not make me any less of a Christian. In the midst of my sin I have realize the severity of how my actions will affect my and my child. I just want to do what's right NOW inlight of my present situation. Futhermore, for a person to suggest for me to put my child up for adoption is ridiculous. THIS IS MY BLESSING AND I WILL BE A GOOD STEWARD! Abortion and adoption are not options because before conception this became my responsibility. However, I allowed my experience to become a forum for RELEVANT suggestions. So, for those who may be interested in responding as of Sep 22 @ 1:52 pm, please govern yourselves accordingly.

Remember what we talked about in my email. I know you are aware of sinful actions as we have already discussed. And you know I disagree on moving in with him but you have to go with your heart and what is best for the baby. I think if he wants to marry you he will do it now.
God bless you

No, not if you move in with the intentions of having a life with this person. God wants us to join in "Holy matrimony" which means you vow to be with this person and try your best to make things work. It was the people who needed to feel important that made "marriage" such as a big deal. Nowhere in the bible does it say "run uptown and tell the rich government people that you have decided to settle down. It was more of a "informal" union between two people. As long as you both love each other and are in this for a monogomous relationship, you have done your part. Its actions like that that ruin your relationship with God whether you are officially married or not.
I have been with my "husband" for 9 years. We celebrated our anniversary yesterday. However, there is no marriage liscense. We had a ceremony at the church to confirm our vows and have seen no good reason to get the government involved.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!

Well having sex before you get married is not too spiritual either, if you really had a spiritual relatioship with god you woulve not been having sex, so for the baby is better to have both its parents together, if you dont feel too comfortable with the fact of moving in with him, have you guys talked about getting married? but you have to be sure this is the guy you want to spend the rest of your life with marriage is pretty much the same thing as moving out and if your boyfriend is serious he would be happy to do it. Good luck!

I am Christian and have 2 children. I am unmarried and living with a partner. Some say it is not right, however I think it is best to live together before you are married because you will find out if you can truly get along before going through with the huge expense of a wedding and it decreases your chance of divorce. People are definately a whole lot different than you think when you live with them!

It is always best for a child to have both parents ,but don't make you'r dicision based solely on the fact you are pregnant.Weigh the pros & cons of both options .God forgives all if you only ask ,that is why we gave his sons life so we could all be forgivin for our sins,But if you don't feel you would be happy living with the dad don't .Lots of happy kids parents don't live together.Although it helps to have assistance when baby comes home perhaps for a little while till you ,and he feel ready to commit to eachother.

First off if having sex before marriage didn't affect your relationship with God then I don't think moving in with you boyfriend will. But it's up to you if you feel it's best then go for it but don't let him pressure you into it just cause he thinks it's right. It's your decision. Good Luck on whatever you choose.

If you guys are making it so far not staying together, why change things. Im pregnant and we dont live together. I stayed with him for about 2 weeks and i almost drove him up the wall with these crazy pregnancy hormones. Maybe after baby comes, you all can move in and play house, just as were going to do. Were 38 weeks pregnant and not engaged either.

A child needs all the parental support it can get, so I recommend you live together. This is not about your spirituality -- it is about what is best for the child now that the child is coming. You decided to have a child and the child did not decide to have you. Children deserve two commited parents
Good luck!

Your relationship with God is between you & God. If the relationship is affected it's because you allowed it to be. Move in with your baby's father - believe me it's easier getting to the hospital to have the baby when dad is right there.

sweet heart getting preg in the first place affected your spiritual relationship with God lol. it is up to you whether you should live with him. the "damage" is already done. living together wont necessarily make him a better father. i made that mistake and left after 5 months. living with someone regarldess of how much you care for them is hard. there are so many little things you never knew that will drive you insane. its your call how do YOU truley feel?
