    Agency application question

    I have a question. There is a question on the application asked if we lived together before marriage. We did, if I answer this will the agency deny us??

    Hmmm, that sounds like an odd question on the application, unless you are going with a Christian agency.

    I would be honest. I suspect lying about it and somehow getting caught, would be worse than the truth. (total Brady Bunch moment here) I don't know if they can deny you based on that but maybe they will just ask you questions about it and move on.

    My only guess on why they are asking is to get a guage on what your committment level was before marriage or that it is a Christian agency. I have never seen that question before and I am curious what the reasoning is.

    I called Great Wall of China and asked about the question on the application concerning the topic of living together before marriage. The lady I spoke to stated that they had so many couples who have been married before that they added the question to show the stability of a couple current marriage. She said it would not effort our application at all and would be a benefit as dh was married once before.

    Thanks to those who answered my other post.

    We had to answer that question. We were honest. Didn't hurt us in the least!
