I don’t know how to handle this situation

Question:

Hey,

I know you're not God or anything, but I've been dealing with some sins in my life. I was baptized last year, and I moved my kids' father into my home. Around that time, I didn't think of anything else, so I explained to him what needed to be done, and that was it. I let him stay due to my knowledge.

I don't know how to handle my situation because he's completely comfortable here.

Answer:

I'm going to have to make a few assumptions here. Based on the way you worded your note, I conclude that you committed fornication prior to becoming a Christian. That resulted in you having a child. Since becoming a Christian, you allowed the man you committed fornication with to move into your home, even though the two of you are not married.

The simple answer is to get married. Your current situation is improper and can lead to sin. "But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion" (I Corinthians 7:9).

Response:

Thank you for the clarification.
