Living together Before Marriage
This question could be much more easily answered if the Bible made a clear proclamation such as “living together before marriage or outside of marriage is living in sin.” Since the Bible makes no such definitive statement, many (including some who profess to be Christians) claim that living together outside of marriage is not living in sin. Perhaps the reason the Bible does not make a clear statement is that, in Bible times, the arrangement of unmarried people living as husband and wife was relatively rare, especially among the Jews and Christians. For the purposes of this article, when we refer to living together, we are referring to living together in the sense of living as husband and wife, including sexual relations, without being married. We are not referring to a man and woman living in the same house without sexual relations.
While the Bible does not make an explicit statement about living in sin, that is not to say the Bible is completely silent on this issue. Rather, we have to put several Scriptures together and glean from them the principle that any sexuality outside of the marriage of one man and one woman is sin. There are numerous Scriptures that declare God’s prohibition of sexual immorality (Acts 15:20; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13, 18; 10:8; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7). The Greek word translated “sexual immorality” or “fornication” in these verses is porneia, and it means literally “unlawful lust.” Since the only form of lawful sexuality is the marriage of one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5), then anything outside of marriage, whether it is adultery, premarital sex, homosexuality, or anything else, is unlawful, in other words, sin. Living together before marriage definitely falls into the category of fornication—sexual sin.
Hebrews 13:4 describes the honorable state of marriage: “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.” This verse draws a clear distinction between that which is pure and honorable—marriage—and that which is sexually immoral—anything outside of marriage. As living together outside of marriage falls into this category, it is sin. Anyone living together outside of lawful marriage invites the displeasure and judgment of God.

We are all false teachers.
We can't be right on everything.
The point here is Bible discussion and a healthy talk.
But things are often toxic and unhealthy.
You have your assurance of salvation. Don't worry about it. You feel the love of God. You say that God loves you. You have confidence God loves you. Not everyone on this site has the same confidence as you concerning themselves. Many here do not feel loved, and that is why they are here.
I am among those who do not feel loved.
Not that I feel hated by everyone.
I just don't feel loved by God. So, it is my cross to bear. I don't understand God at all. Easy to learn the Bible. Anyone can do it. Knowledge puffs up. But to have a true understanding of God -- I lack it. I don't know the mind of God. I don't know why God does this or that and why he doesn't do this or that. Frankly, I would do things differently. I do not grasp God or how he thinks. Why does God give one the opposite of what one prays when one makes a reasonable prayer? I don't understand it. Yes, I know the scriptures pretty good. But I still fail the test.

Thanks for your response here. Yes I feel loved because I have a personal Relationship with Jesus and my salvation is secure in Faith in Christ. I have worshiped God with people who lobe God and have good intelligent Men Bible teachers.
God thoughts and ways are much Higher than our ways.
Bible teaches that when we Pray, we should ask for What God's Will is. Often we Pray for things that Re not in God's will for Us . So He knows That's not Best for Us and we don't get that thing.
I learned over the Years it's not just Reading the Bible and studying. It's getting that Personal Relationship with God through His Sin Jesus' Christ.
Many so called Christians don't have that Yet .
They struggle with many things in life and don't have Peace

I don't think it is as simple as that.
Job 13:9
But yes, "God's will be done."
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. (Hebrews 12:11)
He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.” (Matthew 26:42)
Jesus did not want to go to the cross.
When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. (Ecclesiastes 7:14)
“You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” (Job 2:10) In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.
So, it is for us to deal with the unpleasant.
God has subjected us to frustration.
For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it. (Romans 8:20-21)
Frustration is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart. (Ecclesiastes 7:3)
Enjoy feeling hugged by God.
Not always do we feel hugged by God.
Not always do we feel we are being carried by God in the loving arms of Daddy.
Somethings hit us hard, and some years are a trial.
