If two people sleep
together in fellowship, I do not mean immorality, it is one of the closest ways
of association. Good friends may sleep together and share a room together
sometimes. This is quite acceptable in some cultures and has no sexual or
immoral meanings. Of course married people sleep together and consummate their
marriage. “Sleeping together” as a description of an immoral relationship is a
poor definition.
