I didn't live with my hubby before we got married and I wouldn't suggest it. Remember that old phrase... Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free... I mean really, are a few bad habits enough to make you change your mind about getting married to someone? My husband leaves the seat up, likes to watch Hunt for Red October a million times, plays computer games too much and I leave my cloths on the floor, brush my teeth in the shower... ect, and none of that would've made a difference if we'd known it before we got married. Why lessen the sacredness of marriage?

Doesn't stastitics say that you are more likley to divorce after living together than never living together first? I know of at least five couples who married and after living together, the marriages did not survive. Nothing is guaranteed, however, if you follow the Word of God He is guaranteed and His Word will not fall null and void. His Word applys to everyone. Like I always say- sleeping with him only will get a dinner and a movie but holding out until marriage will get you diamonds and fur. I have both to attest to this, because I told my husband my body is gold and I am precious and I am not FREE. No Ringie No Dingie.
First come love...then comes marriage and a house and a fur and some sanctified sex ordained before God.. Think about your image before SHACKING UP with a man. You are gold, girl.

My fiance and I got engaged over 2 years ago and moved in together over a year and a half ago. I think it was a good move because you truly don't know someone until you have lived with them. We will be married at the end of next month. Like my fiance says, Would you buy a car without first test driving it?

I am all for living together before marriage. You never truly know someone until you live with them. I lived with my husband first and have no regrets. If it is meant to be, you will get married. Better to find out and possible break up than wait and be sorry and end up getting a divorce.

I think that if you truely love someone it is going to work out anyway you do it. Think about this...
If you get married and then move in with a guy, and his little habits, like throwing socks on the ground, is enough to make you want a divorce, then obviously your relationship wasnt that great.
Every SINGLE person in this whole world, is going to have some little habits that are going to annoy you. You either work past them, or you dont. If you truely love someone those things are not going to make or break you.
Dont move in with a guy to see if he has annoying habits or not, because everyone does. I think truly getting to know a man before marrying him is the most important thing, whether you live with him or not.

i dont have any experience but i would think it might be a little better to try to live together for a little while before getting married just in case you decide you really don't like the way the other person lives or whatever...things like that could change your mind and your feelings but it also depends on what your beliefs and values are

Well what my husband and i did was movie in together and i told him after living together 2 years if we are not engaged or married then it is time to split. If after living together 2 years you do not know what you want then i don't want you.

It might go against some morals but I think it is better to live with someone first. That is when the real person starts to show. How they behave at all times. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. But it is better to find out that you can't stand to live with someone before you marry them.

Any person worth living with is worth marrying. If you are unsure about whether you can live together, take time to get to know each other better.Too many people rush into cohabitating.
