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.

O.K. we have the UC vote...:ursofunny:ursofunny

Re: Living Arrangements
 

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.

Well... isn't THAT special! Time for my superior dance! Hit it Pearl...

Re: Living Arrangements
 

LOL. I wear sweats, and tube socks...so I don't worry about stuff like running around the house nekid. I am always cold:ursofunny

Re: Living Arrangements
 

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.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

Shucks..I was thinking about sharing a house with a UPCI preacher friend...Guess that's out:ursofunny

Re: Living Arrangements
 

lol - - I ............oh never mind. Maybe I need to go post on the things you don't know about me thread.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

If if were one of my kids, I would be totally against it! I think it looks bad for Christians, whether anything wrong is happening or not.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

HUMMMMM I can only guess...you like to run around the house nekid.:gotcha. I am not into lace and frills, and sexy nighties...at least haven't been for quite some time. I prefer tube tops and long pants with my hair in a scrunchie. I am just no fun anymore. I need inspiration:nah

Re: Living Arrangements
 

ummm, yeah darlin' lets not take away from the active imagination

Re: Living Arrangements
 

Seriously it would hard to convince people nothing would be going on,plus too having the feelings the we humans have,feelings could get stirred,and then you know what might happen,I would advise agains't it.
A mixed gender arrangement could hurt one's witness.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

Not necessarily, but I don't wear tube socks and sweats.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

Well I wouldn't let my kids..I was thinking about more the over the hill singles. I could cook and clean for him and he could fix my car, mow the grass and take out the garbage...but paying half the bills is the best part, as well as safety...but then again...I am doing great on my own. I put in a toilet seat last night, caulked the bathroom, and fixed the towel rod with a meat cleaver...hey...what do I need a housemate for?:ursofunny

Re: Living Arrangements
 

What is a tube top? Is it like a wife beater?

Re: Living Arrangements
 

And thats why you don't need a room mate of the opposite SEX !!:gotcha

(its SEX people, dont sugar coat the subject by saying "gender"):ursofunny

Re: Living Arrangements
 

Sounds like you're pretty self-sufficient! I don't think you need a roomie.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

Not to pass judgement but if I was single I wouldn't room with a female,I know male urges,I have the Holy Ghost but I wouldn't put my flesh in that situation.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

Well...duh - I would never share a house with a man I was attracted to.:spit

Re: Living Arrangements
 

My thoughts exactly.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

...but she's safe - she wears tube socks and sweats!

Re: Living Arrangements
 

I trust you but you are still human,and being the chemical factories we are,things could happen.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

You are right. I like what I like when I like it...a roomie would crowd me out. I am so independent that I am ruined.:sad

Re: Living Arrangements
 

That's right!:thumbsup

Re: Living Arrangements
 

Tube socks and sweats don't fight urges.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

I agree.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

All you need dear, is a dog

Re: Living Arrangements
 

Yes I know that,but still things could happen.
Listen Rhoni with your looks,the man might get stirred up.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

applause for an honest answer........ these answers or justifications of "we are only friends" or "it's just an arrangement, nothing emotional or physical" is :blah:blah:blah:blah . being around someone, caring for them, talking with them on an everyday level..... you will eventually develop some sort of relationship... As far as Christians go, take off the label of Christian and then do as you please! I don't think Christ would have been shacking up even if it was only a "business" arrangement.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

I signed off but saw this and had to say..Scott you are a sweetie but I am an old lady and my looks are gone...I am just...an old lady...what more is there to say?:sad

Re: Living Arrangements
 

I agree with all the conservative answers:) Just trying to start an interesting conversation since the forum was getting boring.:ursofunny:ursofunny

Re: Living Arrangements
 

boring??? have you read the 5 things AFF doesn't know about me.... Someone will be praying through tonight....:ursofunny

not mentioning any name, Elizabeth... Scotty...PO...HO...Dizzyde... oh the list goes on....:ursofunny jk

Re: Living Arrangements
 

Apparently, you haven't been reading the other thread!

My real thoughts are if you really needed a roommate for money purposes - there are probably going to be more women out there needing the help than men anyway!

Re: Living Arrangements
 

Sister Rhoni ,no joke if I was single and your age and you asked me to room with you,I won't for fear of what it could lead to.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

lol - - I think we get that.

Re: Living Arrangements
 

This is getting very interesting, very fast....
