well I did not think you were condoning living together
actually, the 'one flesh' in the context of where it is found, is actually discussing staying away from prostitutes. see below
12“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything.
13You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
14By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.
15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!
16Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”b 17But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

18Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
19Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. I Corinthians 6
I think we should honor what Jesus said regarding the woman at the well. He did not say 'you are on your 5th or 6th husband
what He did say, was this:
16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 “I have no husband,” she replied.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and
the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” John 4
I'm not making the distinction. the distinction is there. even if Jesus was using 'husband' as in living together, why does He go on to make the distinction that the man she was currently with was NOT her husband...
as you can see from I Corinthians 6 above, it is a warning against having sex with prostitutes and an emphasis on illicit sex of any kind
I have no understanding that you would say otherwise, but I was surprised that you said what you did
I don't see where the Bible needs a 'special' revelation as what it means when it talks about sex outside of marriage
I think it says what is says and the meaning and intent is clear
