The Duchess of Cambridge

I really do wish Kate and William success in their marriage. I hope they truly are committed to each other, and if they are then the result will be a marriage that lasts their whole lifetime. Nevertheless, I do not think it is best to live together before marriage like they did, and I am writing this series to help couples see how best to prepare for marriage.

 

Tiffany Stuart wrote a great article, “Six-Month Security:Living together was a farce, a halfhearted commitment with a huge ‘Exit’ sign looming over it,” Focus on the Family. I will be dividing the article into four parts. Here is the first part:  

“Hi, Hon, I just wanted to let you know I’ll be home late. I’m going to hang out with the guys after work,” Derek said.

As I hung up the phone, I swallowed the bitter taste of disappointment. Why doesn’t he want to come home and be with me? So much for security once we moved in together.

The Lie That Living Together Offers

After dating on and off for three years, Derek and I were serious about our relationship. We agreed that living together was the next step. It sounded as natural as riding a tricycle before a bicycle and as practical as packing before taking a long trip.

And, we had other reasons:

• No more roommates interrupting our candlelight dinners.
• No more wasted time or gas driving back and forth to see each other.
• No more overnight packing.
• No more wondering if we were committed. We’d be sharing a place, after all, and could see where living together leads.
