Im not sure what you are pushing because it would be parents responsibility to educate their young on what is acceptable behaviour and also parents supporting marriages as they would be the in laws. if they are not prepared to do that many marriages would be doomed.
If you want the church to be the 'in laws' the. you have to go about finding ways to make it easier (and cheaper) for couples to marry, like st Valentines did I suppose. Help them into their own homes? Most young couples are facing huge challenges like buying their first home as their parents arent likely to just give them a spare one. Many do not have the financial resources to do so.

1.) My ex is no longer in this country (plus he's barred from reentry)
2.) Not sure he's still alive
3.) If I could find him alive somewhere and presented myself before him claiming Christ as Lord and Savior - I'd be the next propaganda video, beheaded by ISIS on YouTube for your viewing enjoyment (so he'd not exactly accept me back as wife)
God saved me, forgave all my sins and gave me a life and family to replace those I lost.
I don't believe, nor does my husband believe, God is asking for me to die, but rather - to live. When I was saved, before God I have a clean slate.

Now read 2 Corinthians 6:16 "What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” ......Paul was referring to idol worship. Not sexual immorality.
Flee Fornication

They were both related. There were people within the church claiming to be believers trying to convince others that it was not a damnable sin to commit fornication with the temple prostitutes. They were also trying to convince them that joining these feasts where meats sacrificed to idols were served and this fornication took place was ok as well because idols weren't real after all.
The entire teaching and persuasion to COMPROMISE was related, coming from the same PARTY or feast in the temples that "everyone was doing" It is applicable to "It's ok to fornicate when dating because everyone does it and God knows we are weak in the flesh but we will be saved anyway"
The truth that one will go to hell who persists in this is as applicable to the temple fornicators as it is to the Saturday Night fornicators.
But everyone already knows this. I don't take anyone serious who tries to say they can fornicate and still go to heaven. They know better.
There are those who are living together and are deceiving themselves into thinking that they are not fornicators. Some of them are sincere and you know the sincere one because they are feeling really guilty and wondering if they are lying to themselves, (because they are and their conscious is telling them so) these need our help and encouragement to separate and get married if they desire. But to immediately separate and pray about the next step. Jesus first, marriage second.

Read any evangelical commentary on 1 Corinthians.
The eating and the fornication took place in the same temple feasting party.
Knowledge about the 1 Century Corinthian culture is helpful in understanding the background of what Paul is talking about. It was known to him and the people he was writing to, we however need a history lesson to close the 2000 year gap. There is an abundant amount of information about what these feasts were like where both the eating of the meats sacrificed to idols and the fornication with the temple prostitutes took place during the same party or festivities.
He addresses fornication with temple prostitutes before he talks about abstaining from sex in marraige or remaining single in Chapter 7 which is not the same context as the fornication issue with temple prostitutes.
