Dear Maggie:

Can I live with my friend?

I am many years retired and have always been single. I have a close male friend who is now widowed and I am wondering what would be your opinion of us as an older couple living together [not getting married] for companionship? We do not have any sexual relationship on any level. Is this wrong for us as Christians to live together?
