I am really surprised at the counsel given here. It strongly suggests having a conversation with the Granddaughter that will lead her to believing that a compromise can be made. There is no compromise to supporting immoral behavior under your own roof. There is no compromise when your purpose is to maintain a good example for younger children. Moral cleanliness is a very serious issue and should not be trifled with by inviting a long, drawn out conversation. A simple, kind and honest statement suffices: "I care about you and your feelings, and I look forward to having this opportunity to spend time together and draw closer. Because of my personal beliefs, no one will be sharing bedrooms on our vacation unless they are married."
