What is companionate marriage and why is it condemned?
"Companionate marriage" in politically correct terms is "cohabitation." "Cohabit" in the dictionary is defined as "live together and have a sexual relationship without being married." It is condemned because fornication is forbidden, but more generally because living together like that is not chaste, and as the Guardian tells us, the Baha'i standard is very high.
