=* That a man is living with a woman without being married would be 
=considered gross immorality by the majority of christians. Yet, again, 
=the marriage as we know it did not exist at the time the Bible was 
=completed. The way what the Bible calls marriage was implemented, was 
=simply when a man and a woman arranged to live together (somehow 
=simplified; they had some arrangements involving money but they are not 
=considered appropriate today).

Quite a statement.  You need to back it up with solid research.  All the
resource
books I have (the entire college library) says quite differently.  Perhaps this
was
true among some Gentile cultures.  But you will find the Jewish culture quite 
different.  I challenge you to prove this statement. ;-)  The Jewish marriage 
customs were even more complex and binding than any marriage in our culture
today.
