absolutely... you don't really know someone until you live with them.

I don't know I think it all depends on the couple at hand. I know I read somewhere that guys propose living together because its like you've already got everything (the girl, the house, probably the sex ) without getting married. So some of those lazy guys choose to go that way rather than get married. Although some actually take is a the step before marriage and use it to see whether or not their marriage could work. Personally I say stay seperate until marriage. It sorta adds to the anticipation of the whole thing I say.

some people are old fashioned and believe that marriage should come before living together. some people believe that if you move in together, marriage will never come cuz if it ain't broke, why fix it. i think that you should at the very least get engaged before you move in together. by being engaged you both know that the next step is marriage and can prepare yourselves for that next step. living together really gives you the opportunity to really get to know one another and can make or break a relationship. it may not better prepare you for marriage but it'll better prepare you to make that decision of whether or not you should marry.

In a way it does. It lets you know how you will deal with leaving with someone that you love in the future. I don't recommend it for your relationship to begin with because many of those do not last and often times people become so comfortable that they do not think it is even necessary to get married. The arrangement at hand seems fine to them. It's complicated really. By doing it you would know what to work on with your living habits when the person comes along that you would really want to marry and live with.

I personally do think it better prepares a couple for marriage. You should know what you are getting into before you commit.

No it is more likely for a couple to break up if they live together before marriage whereas if the couple is married it's more of a committment to make things work.

Absolutely. Like many others are saying, you really have to live with someone to really know them. However, I wonder why our parents and their parents are so on, had longer lasting marriages? In those days, it was not common to live together before marriage. Maybe they know something we don't.

It was the best thing I have ever done. I have been with my wife 7 years and married 3 years and lived together, 2 years it was great....And I have 2 step-kids and they ROCK.

I think it does, because it gives you a taste of what the other person is really like. It showes you what their bad habits are & lets you have time to decide if this is what you really want to do. It lets you work things out before you marry the person.

Yes I do, you don't want to marry someone that has habits that you can not handle. I highly advise living with someone, I did and I didn't get married. I know that if I didn't live with my ex it would there would have been a divorce.
