šÆ Letās Be Clear: This Isnāt About ControlāItās About Covenant
Thereās a lot of noise out there about āliving together before marriage,ā and it usually centers around s*x. But at Wind Haven Foundation, we dig deeper than that. We donāt do surface-level religionāwe seek Godās heart.
So letās set the record straight.
Iām not trying to push s*x outside of commitment. In fact, Iām saying the opposite.
What gets twisted is this idea that marriage equals covenant. But the truth is:
Marriageālegally speakingāwas a concession. Covenant is Godās design.
S*x outside of commitment hurtsānot because Godās mad, but because God loves us enough to protect us from soul wounds.
It hurts when someone cheats. It hurts when someone uses s*x as leverage in a fake relationship. It hurts when you give your body to someone who hasnāt committed to your soul.
Godās not uptight about your floorplanāHeās concerned about your foundation.
At Wind Haven, we walk with survivors every day whoāve been used, discarded, and betrayed by people who played house with holy things. And we see the healing that happens when people stop chasing contracts and start pursuing covenant.
So no, living together isnāt automatically sin.
But calling something covenant when it isnāt?
Thatās where hearts get broken.
Godās not anti-s*x. Heās anti-using people.
Heās not anti-living together. Heās anti-confusion and counterfeit love.
Donāt just ask:
āCan we live together if weāre not having s*x?ā
Instead, ask:
⢠Are we walking in covenant, not just comfort?
⢠Are we honoring each otherās emotional, spiritual, and physical safety?
⢠Are we building a relationship that reflects heaven, not just a Netflix account?
Because covenant isnāt just saying āI do.ā Itās saying, āIām staying.ā
Itās protection before passion.
Foundation before furniture.
Legacy before lifestyle.
At Wind Haven, we believe in that kind of love.
You are more than a conqueror.
Youāre an Overcomer.
