re: Did you live with your spouse before marriage? Would you recommend it?

Yes. Moved in together while engaged due to timing and renting. I would recommend.

My wife’s pastor who was supposed to marry us said he could not, in good faith, officiate the wedding because we were living together prior to marriage. So you’d rather us just continue to live together “in sin” and unmarried rather than marry us and make things “right”? It still blows my mind.
