In today’s culture sex before marriage and living together is the norm. But what if God’s precepts against doing so were meant to protect you from the pain of a break up? The best research shows that cohabitation disrupts the formation of a long-term commitment. And cohabiting parents break up at a higher rate and inadvertently expose their children to dangerous home situations. Since up to 40% of all children will spend time in a cohabiting home let's rethink this and let God protect us.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: In today’s culture sex before marriage and living together is the norm. But what if God’s precepts against doing so were meant to protect you from the pain of a break up? The best research shows that cohabitation disrupts the formation of a long-term commitment. You keep trying to cook something without ever turning on the oven.

And cohabiting parents break up at a much higher rate and inadvertently expose their children to the most dangerous home situation for a child. And since up to 40% of all children will spend some time in a cohabiting home—I think it’s time we rethink this and let God protect us. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
