Either person is no longer single and should not be living a single life, but a life with one Spirit, physical intimacy, same goals, and a united mindset for a healthy home. No home is perfect but it should be healthy. Both people should be entering a marriage with 100% (not this 50% stuff) but 100% and whole, this is the mindset, the foundation to build on the unity of a healthy home with a strong vision
