Yes because it helps them see what each other's like before they actually go through the marriage situation, in case they don't like it and end up not wanting to marry each other. Even though it's messed up to give up a marriage just because of ones ways.

Not if being Christians means anything to them.
First: God considers sex outside of marriage as fornication.
That's a bad thing.
Second: Romans 13 explains that Christians should cooperate with governments and governments really prefer couples living together be married, if only for a census.

yes i do agree that a couple should live together to see how it will work out marriage is a life time bond. this way if it don't work each one can go there separate ways without the high court cost. and then sometimes the couples decide that it works out so very we'll they decide to get married and live happy ever after sweet right

Yes . Why not. Marriage is the way the government taxes sex. What else could it be? You get the License at the court house. The money goes into the Government Coffers. They give NONE to God or the churches. The Minister even keeps his Gratuity fo rhis personal use.

No. They should NOT.
It comes down to real love which is supposed to be a life time commitment to each other. And real love is unconditional. Meaning Real True Love between a man and lady should start out Pleasing God not just one's self.
On top of that the bible is very clear that just living together does not please God. In fact a person can actually be enemies with God by refusing to live right when a person knows better especially.
The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Just one more thing....This isn't just an opinion of mine. Its from The Bible which is the word of God. Its God's standards, and its important to please Him. I wouldn't want to ruin my life by starting a relationship out doing the wrong thing.

Do you mean, allowed by the government? I don't think it's the government's place to dictate that.
As for in God's eyes, that's not the way it works. Besides, living together is NOT the same.
Been there, done that.

No this should not be done. You should marry first, then move in together. Marriage is a very special thing and the benefits from it (i.e., living together, have sex, etc...) should be done after marriage as this is what makes it so special.

Nope,
Simple. If you wait until you get married. No matterwhat happens, go or bad, they have to come back home. If you're not married, one could just up and leave and then you have really no legal recourse at all.

Marriage is a hard relationship no matter how well you might get along in the beginning. I think it should be a requirement.

Yes! they can get to know each other. it's very important! nobody want to get divorced after few years of marriage...nobody would like to hear "I married somebody else, you were pretending,it's not happening..." WE SHOULD GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BEFORE MARRIAGE! That is really important!!!!!!
