If they are both Christians and really don't do anything except sleep in the bed, for convenience reasons.

I think it would be more wise and just as convenient for one of you to stay at a friends or on the sofa.
It says in scripture to "flee temptation". I would never want to risk something as precious as my purity on one night.

I can see falling asleep on the couch while watching a movie, but if they're going into someone elses bed, they're might do more than just sleep.
Just be responsible ''use protection'', oh and I think it is all right for an unmarried couple to sleep together; that is living life and living life is not a sin. Now I'm not saying sleep around with every person to see, I'm just saying be responsible in choosing your partner and be responsible when having sex.

Well, yes and no. There is nothing wrong with sleeping in the same bed, but to do so, especially when in love, is to invite temptation. In my opinion, it is unwise to do so and should only be considered when there is no other option. Passages such as Ephesians 5:3 come to mind when seeing if this is a wise and godly choice.
In summary, it is (probably) possible to glorify God in this, but it is very unwise, as it invites temptation and tests the self control more than is nessessary.

It would be best if they slept in two different rooms if one had to sleep over night .It's hard to stop a rolling snow ball down a hill .1 John 2:16 " For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh,and the pride of life, is not of the father, but is of the world ".

We are to avoid sin and avoid occasions of sin. This would mean that we should not put ourselves in situations that could lead to sin.
If it's not absolutely necessary I would say, don't do it. Sleeping with someone of the opposite sex is a privilege reserved for marriage. Convenience is not a good reason.

The Bible tells us to guard ourselves from the appearance of evil. Sleeping side by side makes us vulnerable to temptation.
This intimacy is for marriage only. Sleeping in the same bed would be a kind of rebellion, or manipulating God!
Keep it for marriage, and God will bless you!

Believe me, the devil would have a blast tempting the two. Even with the best of intentions, when we're tired and lay in bed, things could advance, even though we never planned to. The flesh takes over.

Why bother putting up pretenses, just do it already. Just wear protection.
I can't stop laughing at all these answers, you people have such a lack of self control its hilarious. No wonder you need a bible to tell you how to live. You probably don't drink because you think you'll be tempted into alcoholism. You probably don't have friends because you'll be tempted to bang them all. Get a grip of yourselves.

It is not the wisest decision an unmarried Christian couple can make.
I wonder what the necessity would be.

No.....Many "innocent" nights start out that way. The feelings get too heightened when a couple is laying right NEXT to each other, and the temptation is hard to resist.
