"Marriage is out of date; everyone should just live together today"
Give two reasons why a religious believer may agree or disagree with this statement [4]

Example:
A religious believer may agree with this statement as living together would probably improve the relationship, thus creating a longer and happier relationship. They may also agree because just living together would certainly lower divorce rates, and all religions dislike the idea of divorce, even if they allow it.
However, they may disagree because living together as a couple would very likely mean sex before marriage. Most, if not all, religions disagree with the idea of sex before marriage and cohabitation promotes that. Religious believers also feel that marriage is God-given so it undermines God's plan for the relationship to not marry. Just cohabitating may not even ensure a committed relationship, and marriage usually does.
