Cohabitation: the New Concubinage?

A few months ago, a student asked my husband if he and I lived together before we were married.  When he responded with, "Absolutely not!", the student was shocked.  She'd never heard of people NOT living together before they are married...and this was a student raised in the Church.  It is so sad that cohabitating has become the cultural norm today, even among "Christians".

Brian came across this article Cohabitation and it is super interesting.

What do you think?  Has cohabitation become the new concubinage?

May we, as lovers of Christ, be obedient to His Word and save sex for the marriage bed.  We must not let the world become our norm; the LORD and his Word is our norm.

"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous."
Hebrews 13:4
