My Husband and I currantly live in an apartment in Anaheim and pay about $1000/month for a 1 bedroom. The area we live in is pretty bad, and honestly, anything for around $1000 is going to be not that great and we can't afford to spend much more then that.
We met a Christian couple that seem great and we have talked about renting a 4 bedroom house together in a very nice community. What do you think? Should we do it?

I think you should really think about it. Have you been married long or our you newlyweds? This will be a huge adjustment, especially if you're still getting used to living with your spouse. Having another couple to deal with may put stress on your marriage. But then again, so does not having a lot of money and living in a bad area. If you do decide to rent the house, make sure everyone is aware of "community space" and appropriate rules. It will be better to have everything out in the open before problems arise! Yoy may even want to go so far as to write things down and sign it. Also be aware of your lease and the terms. You don't want to be liable for something the other couple may cause. But kudos to you for looking at your options!

I can honestly tell you that moving in with another couple will either help your relationship or break it. Everyone knows that always having someone there to share your thoughts and feelings with is great but what if those feelings are taking advantage of? Make sure you know these people very well and make sure you can all get along. Moving into a big house is easier because its not so congested and you will each have your space but also take into consideration the bad things that come with living with other people. Good luck I wish you all the best!

Absolutely not!! My ex husband and I moved in with a couple that we had known for years and it didn't work out. If you love your husband and really like your friends dont do it! It is impossible to mix two families. When they get on your nerves what can you say without hurting someones feelings and the same goes for them to you. It's okay for the first couple of months because everything is new and you enjoy having company from someone other than your spouse sometimes, but eventually everyone will annoy everyone and you are sure to lose some pretty close friends in the end.

Well, to be honest with you, four adults living in one house is going to be very difficult. It may not be a bad idea if this is a temporary fix. I understand that it would help you get into a better area...but be prepared for some tension.
It happens even to the best of friends. Everyone had their own way of doing things, but they don't want to say anything in fear of hurting someone else's feelings. It eventually turns into resentment and then things get tense. Be prepared for that.

me and my fiance moved in with my best freind's boyfriend. it was horrible. wegave him money for rent, electric he pocketed the money every month and didnt tell us. none of the bills were ever paid and we got kicked out. he never paid his half of the phone and cable bill which was in my name and i just finally paid it off 6 months later. this dude put me and my fiance in a deep debt hole. THEN he tried to sue us for the money he pocketed! saying we never gave him anything.
if you are considering moving in with another person make sure you can trust them and that you have a written contract that all of you sign that says how the billing arrangement will be and if you have to give them money put it in a check dont use cash.
hope your luck is better than mine!

Living with more than one couple in the house more often than not doesn't work. The old saying {too many cooks spoil the stew} more often than not holds true.

Nope not a good idea, a couple needs all the privacy one can get and if the other couple are good friends of ya'lls then they will only end up as ya'lls enemy's.

It is a quick way to end a friendship...the old saying goes "there is not a house built big enough for 2 women."

Personally I couldn't. Where is your privacy then ? Dont you think it will be weird ? You cant walk around the house the way you want, wearing what you want. I couldn't do it.
