I dont think sleeping in different rooms would be sinful.So, I think most will agree that a couple living together before marriage is a bad idea, but my question has to do with long distance relationships. When visiting each other, is it permissible for the traveling person to sleep over in another room? I wouldn’t think staying in a hotel every time would work…
I don’t know that I’d consider $100 a night cheap…Hotels are cheap, and friends are cheaper. If you are grown up enough to date long distance and discern marriage, you are grown up enough to do it right.
There’s not a reason in the world for you to stay in a hotel during your visit–infact it seems kinda dumb to me!. Your significant other and you have apparently already committed to chastity (Good for you!) Why waste your $$ on a hotel–I mean, if you are in the same town and want to have sex you certainly can–even if you are staying in a hotel, right?, Having you in a hotel is NOT going to change a thing!So, I think most will agree that a couple living together before marriage is a bad idea, but my question has to do with long distance relationships.

Been there - done that. Or even with family.friends are cheaper. .
As St. Catherine of Siena - she will agree - seek out friends and family for them to stay with. Set the world on fire with your example here!“If you are what you should be, you will set the whole world on fire. Let the truth be your delight…” St. Catherine of Siena.
That’s a real friend if they agree to go along and be a third wheel. I’ve had to chaperon before and it is really, really awkward making sure a couple observes all the proprieties. You couldn’t pay me to go along.If you want an added layer of protection you could ask a friend or family member to stay with the both of you as sort of a chaperone.

Again, this is not possible given location.Do not put yourself or your loved one in a near occasion of sin.
And do not give scandal to others.
Have* them** stay* with family or with a friend.

Yes that might require some sacrifice -but love and marriage is built on sacrifice…
Then go to the other location. If it is a problem for one to go one way - the other goes the other.Again, this is not possible given location.
Well, I also feel it’s pretty unfair to have all of the travel fall on the same person all the time. I think the occasion of sin is no worse than being on a date alone given the precaution of separate rooms. Scandal is also nonexistent because of the short-term nature and lack of direct neighbors.Then go to the other location. If it is a problem for one to go one way - the other goes the other.
Find a way.
Pray to St. Catherine of Siena…
Unfair? Are you dating? (tis not a business deal -tis a matter of the heart…)Well, I also feel it’s pretty unfair to have all of the travel fall on the same person all the time.
