It stuck out to me because of the priest's insistence that one of them physically move out. The priest didn't want them having any more sex until the wedding - that's fine, it's the Catholic Church's stance that premarital sex is a no-no. But it wasn't sufficient for them just to promise not to have sex; it wasn't sufficient for them to sleep in separate bedrooms in their apartment; they had to have physically separate residences.

I guess the priest's feeling was that by LT they were sending the message that they were sleeping together (as, indeed, they had been), but it bothered me that he wouldn't accept their word that they would not have sex.

Plus, what's to stop them from getting a second apartment and then staying over with each other all the time?
