One of the growing lies in today’s world is that commitment is optional, especially in relationships. More and more people are cohabiting; living together, raising kids, even growing old together. Without ever tying the knot and getting married properly. They say things like, “Let’s see how it goes,” “Marriage is just paper,” or “We don’t need to rush.” But six children later, they’re still “testing” the relationship. This is not God’s design. God didn’t intend for people to live in limbo. His blueprint has always been clear: leave, cleave, and become one. This is to be done in covenant, not in convenience (Genesis 2:24).
The family is the smallest unit of society, and when we allow the foundation to become shaky, everything else becomes unstable. You can’t build a strong society on broken homes. You can’t raise whole children in houses where mum and dad live like part-time roommates. Marriage is not just a personal thing. It is a spiritual institution that carries weight and blessing. When people replace covenant with convenience, they are opening the door for the enemy to attack. No wonder the world is so confused today. When the foundation is cracked, what can the righteous do?
This is not about judging anyone. It’s a wake-up call. Many of the celebrities and influencers people admire are deep in this lifestyle. Don’t let fame and money deceive you. Without the blessing of God, all that glamour is empty. God honours marriage. God defends families. God blesses covenant. If you want to build a home that lasts, don’t test it. Commit to it. Don’t follow culture; follow Christ. And if you’ve already gone down the road of cohabitation, there’s grace. But grace doesn’t cancel truth. Do the right thing. Build on the rock, not on sand.
