Should You Move In Together? What the Research Really Says
📖 Episode Description:In this episode, I sit down with Steven Widner, University of South Florida Chi Alpha Director, to unpack one of the most pressing questions facing young adults today: Is it a good practice to live together before marriage?
Drawing from a detailed study and years of ministry experience, we tackle:
The cultural rise of cohabitation and why it seems so normal.
What research reveals about the long-term impact of living together before marriage.
Why the Bible points us to a better way—and how this affects our walk with Christ.
How cohabitation often undermines trust, commitment, and God’s design for marriage.
Practical steps for those already living together who want to honor God moving forward.
This honest conversation is designed to challenge assumptions, bring biblical clarity, and encourage young believers to pursue relationships God’s way.
