Dating visit room question

[catholicwx]

Hi all,
I know it is not a good idea to cohabitate with one’s SO if they are not married. However, a good Catholic friend of mine brought this up to me just a few days ago about him and his gf. My friend and his gf are going on a trip together and are sharing a 2 bedroom hotel suite (where they both would each have their own room) for the trip. Are they in the wrong since they’ve been asking friends as well as her parents if they could tag along to help share the room but no one said they could since they’re splitting it for budget purposes. Thanks!

This matter is the decision of your friend and his gf. If you’re not going on the trip and not paying for the room, it’s not really your concern.

I personally think if they’re going to go to the trouble of getting a 2 bedroom suite and are mature enough to stay out of each other’s bedrooms on the trip, then it’s not a problem. If some friends or family took them up on it, I presume they’d divide the rooms and suite so that the couple would still not be sharing a room. Like guys in one room, girls in the other.

What you describe is not cohabitation.

Cohabitation is living together as if married including sexual intimacy.

Your friends are adults. They should be able to form their consciences on this themselves.

I think it is good that you care for your friend. If it were me, I would think before doing it, more because of the testimony I would be giving to those around me than anything happening (as they will be in separate rooms). Keep them in your prayers, there can never be enough people praying for us.

It’s very likely either the girl’s father or friend would join them

Yea I think that it would be likely for friend to join
