Rules Before Marriage
Contrary to what many believe, unmarried couples are actually allowed to share a bed and are even encouraged to do so. They do have to be fully clothes and must have a wooden board in between them in order to avoid physical intimacy before the wedding. However, this surprising closeness is allowed so that the couples can get to know one another before committing to a life together.

Tax Rules
While Amish people are subjected to the same sales and property taxes as everyone else outside of the community, they do object to the benefits and insurance from Social Security. In 1961, the IRS agreed to exempt the Amish from Social Security taxes, as it is applied to religious groups that are against receiving private and public benefits, but this only applies to self-employed Amish.
