Shackin' and Packin'

This one is for those that are co-habitating with their mate without a marriage.

Either you "shacking up", meaning you have a drawer over there and you are living together....
or you "packing up", meaning you have your stuff in an overnight bag and you are over there every night.

Either way, you should really consider sticking up for what you really want, which is marriage.

Living together is not marriage.
Spending every night over someone's house is not marriage.

Marriage is a commitment you make to your partner and to God.
It is a covenant. 

When you co-habitate, this is rooted in selfishness.
You are essentially saying "I'm going to see how good you can take care of me before I will commit to you. And if you jack up, I'm leaving". And even if you do finally get a ring and get married, they will still judge you based on your performance.

The minute things get hard, they are gone.



There is no true commitment when you shack up.

Listen to your Grandma.
