do u prefer marriage or living together? or which r u doing?

Answer 1

i am living together with the four girls that i am helplessly in love with. there is no way that i can decide between them, because they all have special traits that i love about each. there is no way that i could choose 1, becasue i would be short changing myself. i will not marry just one of them though, and they are all unhappy about that. it is just nice to see that our society is starting to accept more and more relationships like mine without looking down on me like i am some kind of "pimp" or whatever.

Answer 2

Living together is a BAD IDEA! It in no way shape or form compares with marriage, and if you don't feel a person is good enough match for you to marry, why waste your time living with them? Heck, why are you dating them if you don't think you want to marry them some day? Plus, living together before you get married increases the chance that you will get divorced. Living together is too easy to walk away from, which is why people do it. They don't want the commitment and promise of marriage, but cohabitation is full of disadvantages for everyone involved. Marriage isn't just a piece of paper, it's a covenant between man woman that they will love, supoprt and stay with each other forever.

Incidentally, I did live with someone, despite my beliefs against it, it was horrible. Never led to the marriage I hoped.

Answer 3

I was married for 15 years, and no that my boy friend and I have been living together for 2 years, I'm leaning more to the living together only side. Marriage for allot of people is overrated. It takes more then a day or a year to get to know someone who you think you might want to marry. Take your time and enjoy life, if it happens then it happens and if not we are still together, that's all that matters.

Answer 4

Married living with my husband. I always preferred marriage over living with a boyfriend (just my beliefs).

Answer 5

Living together all the way. Marriage seems to have many resposiblities. Plus you need to get to know each other. So living is the best situation.

Answer 6

honestly, i don't get the whole concept of marriage.

and, anyone who does and is currently happily married, i say more power to you! it's just not for me.

the way i view it is, people only get married out of a primitive instinct to NOT be alone. some will say it's becuase you love someone and want to spend the rest of your life with them. but, if you dissect that comment, it really does read into the need to NOT be alone.

but, what's so wrong with being alone or single?

you get more freedom to do things. some of my friends will say that it's just more fun to do things with someone else, like travelling. but, let's be honest, that other person is probably not exactly like you and probably doesn't want to go where you want to go. so, why not just stay single and have the only restriction put upon you be..."where do i want to go to today and what do i want to do when i get there"?

plus, i can't see myself, 20 years into a marriage, waking up one day, looking over at that person, and NOT think to myself "goddammit, you're still here?"

Answer 7

I got married once, and once only I won't do it again, the only possible way is if i meet someone who makes me feel the way i felt when i first met my Ex-wife. But I don't ever want to be that infatuated with someone again it was like nothing I ever experienced before and it hurt just as bad when she left. So that's a big double edged sword.

Answer 8

Me and my man are shacking up, but sometimes I think I would like to get married.
The thing is, I know more than a few couples who've been living together for years, and once they get married they fall apart.

Answer 9

I told my boyfriend that I wouldn't live w/ him til we were married. Living together can ruin a relationship. We've been married for over six years now.

Answer 10
