You gotta test drive the car before you buy it. I would not marry anyone without seeing if I could live with them first.

If most of these people commenting had spend half as much time READING the actual article as they did ranting their opinions, they might realize what it actually said. It is already against the law for a man and woman to live together if they are not married and has been since 1868, it is just not enforced! They are trying to remove the already in existence law! AND, if “Christians” would spend half as much time READING their Bibles as they do ranting about what is sin, they wouldn’t have time to tell everyone on here what is right and wrong, because they would be too busy working on their own faults and loving others like we are supposed to do. Just saying.

Daniel, it’s your first wife not 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc., that one should stay married too, is what the Bible talks about man & woman, if you really want to break it all the way down, so next they’ll want to try to find a loophole in Gods word to okay divorces, but the actual true way of being able to divorce was to prove your spouse was having relations with another.

If someone is on probation, this could actually violate their probation.

While agree it is, indeed, an antiquated, outdated law, it is rather curious as to why they are seeking to repeal it almost 150 years after it was passed. Is it to possibly cover up the fact that MANY of the LAWMAKERS and law enforcers may be violating that very law? I mean, if it is not – and has not been – enforced in DECADES, why worry with it now?

I theorize that it was passed to begin with just as a means to ensure the revenue from marriage licenses. Which, by the way, is a business the government ought not be in to begin with. It really is a God-law, not a man-law.

In general I am not as annoyed by this as I am some of the other things that liberals are doing to destroy the fabric of this Christian nation. I got news for those wanting that. It ain’t going to happen. This is and always will be a Christian nation! One nation under God and I am proud to say it.

Section 741.211 of our state’s statutes explains that any “common law marriage entered into after January 1, 1968″ in the state of Florida is not considered valid.

So you can maybe soon live together legally, but Florida will recognize the arrangement as “common law marriage”.

All I can say is WOW! A union between 2 people is their concern, period. There is a thing called common-law marriage, no mention of that. All the Christian comments rather make me chuckle.

This used to be a Christian nation and now piece by piece they are changing it.
