Absolutely not. There have been more people who did that and then broke up. Then they fight over the house equity. Wait.

If you are in the financial situation i would say buy your own house for now, and if you want your boyfriend can live with you in the house and help with the bills etc. and then when you get married you can keep your house and use the equity to buy a new house with your boyfriend. You can keep the old house for income purposes (rent).
If you must buy together see a lawyer and sign some sort of agreement where you don't lose if you guys break up

I agree with the above answer, "If you break up, who gets the house?"
My answer would be to get married if you love him. Marriage is a strong commitment and it takes effort but in the end it is worth it if the person you are married to is the person you love.
So please...wait to get married and THEN buy a house together. =)

hmmmmmmm, that is something I suggest you wait to do... only suggest mind you.... your choice tho.... a lot can happen before the *I do's* are said. IF you buy in both names, it would mean you both own, if in your name, you would legally own, but he could sue you for certain things.... all that would be if you broke up at some point of course.... but, if you decide to buy, make sure all the I's are dotted and the T's crossed... have a legal agreement drawn up, for yours and his protection... such as, he would be legal rentor and you owner, his *rent* would cover, housing and his share of utilities... and of course you would or could have a clause that states, the house would become JOINT, when married..... I hate to have to suggest a legal paper, but there is just to much that could go wrong... sit and discuss all this with your b/f and see what he thinks.... God bless

wait till you are married.
If you two break up after the house is bought, the headaches you will have trying to get the house sold and your portion of equity out of it are unimaginable. I know that you think that you wont break up, but anything can happen and best to play it safe when it comes to purchasing real estate. WAIT!

Its not a good idea. Unless you are about to get married. What happens when you break up and your not married? You have to split as if you were married and go through all the same hassles of whos who. If you know your getting married with a ring on your finger its something to think about if not well its your choice.

Are you engaged, and how soon is your wedding? If the answer is not in the next 2 months, you need to think this through. No matter how much you care for your bo, its never a done deal till the ring is on your finger, and even then it is iffy.
Besides you get better tax breaks if you are married. You may need it later.

Married first, house second. Will save you a lot of trouble closing if you are married and permanent first.

aside from biblical reasons (if you beleive in god think about that)
there is one big big thing
most people just dont try as hard just dating as they do in a marriage
i know my husband and i love each other very much
but theres times that if we werent married (and stuck together) than we would just be apart, we love each other and so of course would always come back
but since we are married we have to get through these problems instead of running away so to speak
besides
if you guys get mad at each other
where will you go to get away from him and blow off steam

I wouldn't do that. Why would he marry you then. He gets the house and sex with very little legal commitment.
