I think everyone should do this. You never TRULY know someone until you live with them!

I always test drive a car when I am considering a purchase. I always try on a new pair of shoes I might buy. So to me, living together before marriage makes perfect sense. This way you know if you can get along with this person before you say "I do" and you even get to see what the person looks like in the morning.

Very bad idea. If there is no commitment and you're still in love with each other you will constantly be putting your best foot forward and so you're not being really real. And if you are starting to get tired of each other there is no bond of marriage to keep you together. All couples go through rough times. Living together makes it easy to get out. And, if you do get married later on you might feel like the fun is all gone because nothing is new or fun anymore. Plus... it's just wrong.

I don't think you should. In my opinion marriage is about discovery. If you love someone so what if they leave their socks on the floor etc? Marriage is like buying a car but not how other people are answering. The test drive is the dating and getting to know them first, once you are married then you have bought the car. And just like buying a car you have to fix the problems as they come along. I mean no one gets to test drive a car for six months, so you have to go with your instincts. Good Luck to you on whatever you decide.

It depends on if you want to live for God. He says it is wrong. Before I was a Christian I was married 3 times and lived with two of them before marriage but they ended anyway. You don't really know people Even when you live with them. So why not do it right in the first place.

You never really know a person until you live with them. Nothing beats getting up in the middle of the night and saying " Honey do you love me" to the partner and watching how they react. The real beast or lamb will come out. Testing the meat before you buy it is not possible most times but trying the car before you buy it is normal. That is only the third largest part of your life. How can you marry someone without fully understanding them??

Do it right from the beginning. I'm living with my bf and we have been together (and living together) for almost 5 years. I never thought it would take us forever to get married. I believe the purpose of a serious relationship is getting married at the end. I think you don't know a person a 100& no matter how many years you know him/her or how much time you spend together.
for me, it's kinda frustrating to hear "eventually we'll get married". it makes me feel like he tries to say : "why buy the cow if I have the milk for free". I dont have any doubts that he loves me ok? he is a very loving, caring person and he is always making sure I have everything I need but sometimes i feel like he is afraid of getting married again...

I think it's a great idea. There were many girls I dated before I got married and I thought a few of them were marriage material, then we moved in together. Everything was great for a few months, and then slowly but surely, you find out all of the things that lay below the surface.

I believe you should live with someone before marrying them.
My bf and i live togeather. Its really to only way to learn what a person is like day to day.
Maybe they will do something that you just can not stand and it will lead to lots of fights after marriage so its better to find out now than after you've already gotten married.

I am against it. Why live with them before you are married, why not be a real person and be mature enough to get married before you live together? All these people who live together before hand just to see, are just really to chicken to grow up.
And there is a reason that they still call the person they live with ther BOYFRIEND. He gets what ever he wants with out having to worry about taking care of anything but himself.

Fine with me so that by the time comes you're not going to blame someone else why you came up with the wrong decisions. We should be wise enough to know more the person first before entering marriage coz it is a lifetime commitment.
