Marriage is going to become an institution,
Where all can share
As one does in any institution
In -living is the order of the day
When you can get free milk
Why pay
Also have some
Butter by the way.
So those who have sex
Also love to have sex
With more than many,
Also want to their prowess retain
I dare say they should ever marry
That’s for Scorpio’s
Is my refrain

As far as I know, the Catholic Church does not teach that it would be a sin per se to live together before marriage. The Catholic Church does say that this is mighty foolish though. And it would be a sin to cause scandal. Other people see you living together, consider you as upright Catholics, but don’t necessarily believe you aren’t engaging in intercourse. Hence they figure this is something that Catholics do. Just like Kerry and abortion, other people may get a wrong impression of Catholic moral teaching if they see Kerry receiving Communion one day, campaigning for Pro-Choice the next.
Now, here’s my question to you – Why would ANYONE want to live together thinking they’re not going to have sex?
For one, you’re either overestimating your ability to resist temptation, or two one or both of you have got something wrong with your wiring.
Any woman who can sleep in the same room with me for many nights in a row and NOT come dangerously close to temptation would IMMEDIATELY lose her candidacy to be my wife. Can you spell F-R-I-G-I-D?
