They are in sin, God does NOT reward sin.

I don't see it as an either, or, but a matter of degree, and surely a question of personal choice. Love IS God, so to the degree that love IS, the blessings of God ARE. To the degree that you are each committed to God and to each other, the blessings expand. When money is no longer the larger consideration, but rather the greatest expression of Love is the larger consideration, then perhaps you'll both be ready to take the next step.

What God put together let not man separate...thats one of the many verses in the bible regarding married people joined together in love and having blessed by God. If you guys really love each other, you'll willing to loose a lot for that love, which includes the money that your girl receives. Its just money anyway! It is much better to live together under one roof, with blessings coming from God. As husband and wife, i challenge you to marry and not worry bout loosing material things...God is gracious to those who seek Him to those who obeys his commands...God will give whatevr you ask in His name, but first you must obey Him...In that way you guys will glorify God...and blessings upon blessings will flow in your life...Goodluck and let God be the center of your relationship.

There is no God, people make their own decisions. If you want to use God as your scapegoat for a bad decision you made then you're in denial. Which is the way most of the world seems to be today. When things are great, people thank God for it. When things go bad, they blame it on God or ask God why? Rarely, do people look at things and take responsibility for their own actions.

You'd have a common law marriage. I guess whether God would bless you two or not depends on what you want Him to do...how to be blessed, etc. However, I would feel rejected if someone put money over me. By not marrying you in order to get the money, she is basically saying that the money is more important than a legal commitment to you. Think of it this way, depending on what state you're in, unless you get married, you will have no benefits of marriage. If she gets sick, her family can deny you the right to see or or make ANY decisions on her behalf including any financial or medical. You'd have no say in her funeral plans if she were to die, you'd have absolutely no say in anything. The same goes for her if you got sick or died. By putting money first, she is giving up a full commitment to you for your future together.

I don't think you really feel God would bless the union yourself, and that's why you posted this question. I realize that she will lose the financial support she's getting if she marries you, but is it worth the risk of doing something that you know is not right in the eyes of God? If you are truly in love with each other as you say, then you need to trust God to supply your needs, and not Social Security to supply them. If you two will do what's right and dedicate your marriage to Him, He will look after your financial needs in the marriage.

Well I think you know the answer to that already. You could get a good job that will provide for you all. When you are married it is a sacred bond between man and wife. There is a huge difference than being boyfriend and girlfriend. God bless you both in whatever decissions you make towards one another.

You sound like you are choosing money over your beliefs. Just that you have asked the question, to me, shows that you think it's wrong.Our government has almost made it necessary for people to have to do this. It's really a sad state.My husband and I lost a lot when we married but we made it OK. It was really tight though.

That's like asking will God bless me if I steal money from the bank and give it to the homeless on the corner because I meant good and it's feeding the poor? According to God and His rules for being blessed and to remain on His good side, you got to do things His way. Get hitched if you love her and you will get double the blessing buddy. Make an honest woman out of her!!!

Nope. It's not okay. You want spiritual blessing when you're also overly concerned with the things of the world. You want money but are hoping that just this once it's okay for you to do what you want and not be sinning. Living together before marriage is a sin whether you're getting extra money out of it or not.

I cannot judge you on this its between you and God technically the Bible Say's its considered a Sin and I would think that if you were not uniting in holy matrimony because of money, God may frown upon it however it's yours and Gods relationship you and your GF need to pray together with an open heart and continue praying until you undoubtedly know what is right! Don't pray with an answer in mind because thats what you want it to be pray with a humble heart! Good luck to you and God bless
