Living Arrangements

In this time when there are so many singles and so many expenses; what is your opinion about a male and female sharing a home in a non-committed, non-sexual, friendship only relationship?

I am just curious because the world thinks nothing of it. What doth the church say?

Blessings, Rhoni

I don't care what the church says - I say no way.

I'd want my privacy - - hate to have to make sure I was dressed at all times, etc.

I think for some it probably wouldn't be an issue. But there's always going to be complications ranging from the toilet seat to romantic feelings. Not to mention that we are commanded to avoid the mere appearance of evil and not to allow our good to be evil spoken of. I think it could ruin the reputations and the witness of both involved because it would look like they were shacked up... or playing with fire at the very least.

I'd advise against it.

I think people talk too much. People rent out rooms all the time. I don't think think room mates should be mixed gender due to the lack of privacy it would create.
