It's possible but why get married if you are going to live apart.

thats funny, me and a friend of mine were just talking about that the other day. We have come to the conclusion thats its not normal and definitely goes against ALL ideas of and all reasons FOR marriage in the first place. normally 2 people get married in order to be with each other more, to live together, to battle though life together, to be each others' everything. If one doesnt want that and just wants a significant other who lives somewhere else - then WHY get married, if you can just date and your BOYFRIEND, not HUSBAND will most definitely be that person for you . Because lets face it - you already have a relationship with the guy you are about to marry and that relationship is a boyfriend/girlfriend one, (you ALREADY have all the perks of being in a couple without necessarily being married), so why would you want to change it to husband/wife one if you dont want the things that marriage stands for ?
It is all about the underlying principles of marriage and reasons for marrying.... ultimately its up to you ( or the couple) but I personally think that before tying the knot you ( or whoever ) should think what are the reasons - WHY do you want to get married and IF those reasons work perfectly fine and do not collide with the separate habitation issue - then go ahead and go for it !!!

One of the happiest married couples I ever knew lived next door to each other, and the kids stayed wherever they wanted to on a given night. Dad one night, Mom the next, or whatever. The couple went out to eat, movies, everything together.....but they COULD NOT live under the same roof together. They're still together, still happy, and the kids are grown, well adjusted men and women. They have a GREAT marriage.

I don't think so. You would be having a long distance relationship and it would be hard to keep a marriage up through all of that. You wouldn't be able to spend time together, have sex, talk, or do anything together other than talk on the phone. That might be fine for a while, but after a while of doing that you are both going to be lonely and end up looking for other people to do things with.

Um well if you spend time together maybe but you miss all the things that come with living together when you are married. Its not the whole experiance unless you do. Thats a big part of marriage

ABSOLUTELY!! My husband and I live apart when he's on tour or I'm working on something. We do have two homes;but it's not like we each have a house to ourselves or anything. It's just for convinience for work. However, when he's working away, my boys and I always spend about 1/3rd of the time visiting him. When I am working; same thing. On our off time together, we are sooo happy. We have a great balance of together time and time apart. I think that's extremely important in any relationship. You have to have time to miss them every once in awhile. It wasn't like we wanted to get married but not live together; technically we do live together, we just spend a lot more time apart than most.

Yes. But not for long. Takes a LOT of work on both your parts. Just look at all the families in the military that get separated for long periods, some more than a year.
