I know I don't need to read it. I'd never shack up with someone.

That just negated the whole blog for me.

Lol. The whole thing is laughable. She even refers to women as "girls."

Girl just means young women, not necessarily a child. Most young adults shack up at some point.

The god bit blows any credibility out of the water. I would have married someone if I didn't live with this person before hand. That living together showed us we weren't compatible and indeed we would have been divorced. Many divorces have been prevented due to living together.

No. The whole article talked down to women. Using "girls" was just icing on the cake.

(6) If you want God’s favor, you’ve got to follow God’s ways. Bottomline…living together is sinful. I don’t say that is a judging way, but instead as one who has had to go through a journey of realization and repentance for my own sinful choices. We watch as each of these couples come through our class looking for God’s favor on their marriage. They don’t want their marriage to go the way of the world, to a miserable existence or to end in divorce, yet they are following the world’s way into marriage. If you want God’s favor, you’ve got to follow God’s ways.
Sorry but I would NEVER Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever take advice from a religious person.

That blog article is 100% bogus!
