Living Together is Unwise

A Wise Article

When my daughter was of age, I advised her bluntly; “Men want sex, companionship and help at home and in that order. If you give them all three and don’t get a wedding ring in return you are being foolish.” While I believe choosing marriage over living together is also the right moral choice, the reasons for such a decision are plentiful simply from a practical viewpoint. That is the key idea in this thoughtful and well-reasoned article affirming the wisdom of choosing marriage over living together.
