Things have changed so much:
1. In the past a kiss before engagement was a no no
2. The man asked permission of the woman's parent's to marry their daughter
3. We didn't believe in or participate in divorce
4. Men actually took care of theri families
5. Right and wrong was an easy thing to determine...
Now:
1. Sex before marriage in the norm
2. Parent's have to impress the fiance
3. Divorce is acceptable even in ministry
4. Women support and take care of men and the children
5. Lines of sin and right & wrong are blurred by circumstance and gray areas
It is a sad state of affairs in the church and the world.
The Bible tells us about what will be happening in the last days:
* Children will be disobedient, unthankful, and disrespectful
* Men will be lovers of pleasure and themselves more than others or God
* The saints will be worn by these things from satan.

None of the things mentioned in the above post have a thing to do with allowing a man not married to us to move in.
It's not being critical if someone questions two single people of the opposite sex living under the same roof.
I can see no good coming from it, no reason for it, and the Scripture cited makes it clear that we should avoid being in a questionable situation.
Your opening post asked for opinions, and I gave mine, for what it's worth...
