Abstract
It became necessary to undertake an analytical study of the history and theology of marriage in comparison with the entrenched incidence of cohabitation. Christian marriage, biblically rooted and upheld by Christ, remains the church’s norm. It is also a sacrament which is highly regarded and upheld by all Christian denominations in Seychelles and to which most couples aspire. A new pastoral approach as a new response to cohabitation is the raison d’être of this thesis. The new response is based on the gospel concept of love, forgiveness, healing and reconciliation. Results from the new approach so far are encouraging.
