Separate. Most definitely.
If you've become saved and were in a cohabiting situation, you either get hitched, or one hitches out the door!

If the couple claim to be "born again" and share the same Faith, then they should BOTH follow The Law and be married in the eyes of God in front of their congregation...
Peace be with you.

Separate.
If they now know Jesus, then who do they love more, their roommate, or Jesus.
Whether they marry or not, they should separate until the wedding or until they decide if they should call the whole thing off.

when i became a christian i was living with a girl....she became a christian,too.....we both suddenly knew that it was wrong to be living together (noone told us anything, we just knew it in our hearts) so i moved out....not far, just down the street. we remained friends but God never brought us back together.

i dont see why the one has a problem with it...My husband wanted to marry me sooner but we were waiting for his divorce...what God wants is for ppl to Stay together. After 18 mos if he wont I would consider not continuing though cuz I would want the ring and the commitment..

they shouldn't live in the same house. The temptation would be tough. Not impossible, but tough. If they really believed that what they believed was really real, then they would strive to follow the one who saved them and obey His commands.

If I'm not mistaken, adultery is a sin in most religion's that I know of.
So what's the problem?

They better work it out if they want to stay together. The one insisting on marriage may be doing so for the wrong reason, religion!

It depends on how strongly each of them feel about it, but it has nothing to do with their religion. If one wants to be married and the other one doesn't, the relationship is doomed, regardless of their religion.
