Hi, guys—

  • Is it permissible for me to allow my unmarried granddaughter and her boyfriend to move a camping trailer onto my property to live temporarily?

I do not know how temporary it will be. I am an elderly widow, not able to take care of this place anymore and I am in bad health. When I die, this place will be hers.

They have three children, and they have been together for several years. They are not married, strictly for economical purposes. They are both deeply in love. If one of them could get a job to take care of their:

  • bills plus,
  • medical expenses plus,
  • other expenses . . .

they would get married.

Pat —

I'd hold fast on this one.

Don't let them fornicate on your property. That will not be a blessing upon you!

Encourage them to have a minimal marriage, there is no need for a reception, they've proven that already.

Let the rings be super simple. It can be worked out.
