You truly don't know someone until you've lived with them, this is true! Imagine the love of your life is a complete slob, how fast would you run to get the marriage annulled?

Because they can. I don't see the big deal you get to know the person better that way...I know a lot of people that did NOT live together before getting married and end up in divorce because "I didn't it would be this way...", "he/she changed so much"...Marriage is NOT about just living together its about sharing your love/life with that person.
Now, having kids before marriage is all wrong but living together before marriage is a good idea, therefore when you get married you'll know what you signed up for, rather that realizing that your wife/husband is a dirty pig, or their "true colors" start to show.

You have to sample the goods before you buy....
Seriously though, my hubbie and i lived together for 3 years before we got married and it was the best thing to do.
My mom always told me that you have to live with a man to really get to know him and vice cersa, a person can be on their best behavior in public, in front of family and friends, but once you marry him and live with him he can do an absolute about face. It's also very often the little things that become big things that break up marriages, soi rather live with him and get to know the little things and have a happy marriage.... You can only learn the little things if you live together...

I lived with my husband prior to marriage and I think it's a good thing for us. I knew all his quirks and he knew all of mine. I wanted to make sure that we could live together instead of getting married and then being stuck with something that I could not take. I have a very perfectionist attitude, I just can't take certain things. Now we have his sister living withus and our lifestyles don't mesh. Her and I living together is almost breaking my marriage up. Think if that was my husband instead. I would rahter know what I was getting myself into than getting a divorce 6 months down the line.

I think that some people just don't hold marriage in the same esteem as others or that some people want to test a relationship before they get married. Living with someone is really hard and i think its okay to test the waters before you get married. My boyfriend, however, thinks we should go to a justice of the peace and get married quick before we live together.

Some people dont want the complication of marriage. When they live together it is a common law marriage.

i guess people want to sort of test the water before diving in
in that way if things dont work out they just walk away sometimes and not always slightly scared emotionally and live the rest of their lives wondering ''if only''
BUt the way the people in this country live their lives and probably
have quite a few failures b4 they decide they cant test the waters anymore they have to dive
End up getting divorced anyway.and then from then on get lucky where they.but in most cases lightning does strike twice in the same place

Its wrong really. They do everything before marriage and then afterwards expect it to be 'different' after marriage. What's the point if you're going to live together, have sex together, maybe have a baby or two and THEN get married!

although it is forbidden in societies ang religion, people live together before marriage in order to have an experience of life after marriage... they don't realise that they are creating many problems for themselves as well as the society... this kind of practice is producing many illegitimate children and single mothers who are look upon by many societies... they are insecure and unprotected. they do not get the proper care and shelter which a husband provides to his wife and children after marriage. in my opinion we shouyld shun this practice in order to avoid such problems....
