The woman is usually the biggest loser in long term cohabitation. Marriage confers many legal rights to spouses. These rights are not offered to cohabitees. There is no guarantee that you will receive support from your male partner. You may have given years of assistance at home, but if one day he chooses to leave you, you are likely to be out of touch with the modern commercial world. Your skills may be outdated and you will be lost. If you cohabit you may not have any succession rights. That means you may have lived in the same house with your partner, but if he owned it, you will not be entitled to it. It will be transfered to his next of kin, unless he has written a valid Will. Your child may also have to live with the stigma of being illegitimate. You may not even be able to claim his body when he dies. Why cohabit when it promises you nothing. Many people who cohabit think that cohabiting provides the same rights as marriage.Most legal systems will not offer the same rights to cohabitees because they regard marriage as sacred and most governments, even in the west do not encourage cohabitation. You may want to check with your legal system on this.
There are no clear pros for cohabiting. A question to ask if a woman is considering Cohabitation is - If you want to be together on a long term basis, what's holding you both back from making it a marital relationship?
A woman's beauty and biological clock is not a permanet feature but a man's desire of woman's beauty does not end with his growing older. A man can easily leave his cohabiting partner for a younger woman. This happens even with marriages. This is the reality of the world we live in. But at least in a marriage a woman can assert her rights, claim support for her children and herself when the marriage ends. What will a cohabiting woman do at age 40 if her partner no longer chooses to support her and walks away with a younger woman. Is it worth it to put your life in the hands of a non-commital man who has ALL OF YOU till he finds someone better at some point in future?

I AGREED with the gent whos being 18 years married....you need to get to know the person ur getting married too....if at the end of 2 years u know u love each other...I think u know u can give the next step...with more love than a couple that married out of an ilusion or do it just to follow every bodies patternif it works ull married in love and convinced with a greater satisfaction if not ull be sad but happier that u did not jump into something so important that will aspect ur life and your future generation...
think about it...if u have 2 years gain with someone is dumb to throw those away those 2 years is experience and knowledge that u love her....and u will marry her after those 2 years...theres nothing to be scare about...im a woman....i would rather try even though ill be 50 before getting married to someone I dont know for sure if I love him...or will be able to stand for his crap.....cause we all have some .................

For a woman, who cohabiting or living together is always lose, lose situation. The man is always the win, win situation. Being married, as a woman you are covered by the legal act under the "Woman Charter". Thus, you can see for yourself, choose the options wisely. This is only applicable in Singapore, other countries may difference from us.

Get married first. I've known too many couples that split up after they move in together. The woman will lose years of her life if she separates from that man and, depending on her age, won't be able to have a kid if she breaks it off too close to menopause. Depressing, ain't it?
