What made you want to take this step, how long were you with them before that, were there any complications after you moved in, did the relationship change (good or bad) & what things did you talk about before moving in together?

I moved in with my girlfriend once thought she was the one for me. There are things you find out about some one you can only learn once you live with them. I think anyone that is serious thinking about getting married should have a trial run to see how compatible they really are. The down side is it is a slippery slope, I know people that moving in together has killed their relationship. Also you have to make sure you that once you are living together that you keep doing things with you friends with out your gf/bf. A lot of times people seem to lose their identity and become asorbed with each other. For me it worked out great! I am now married to the girl I lived with and we could not be happier.

Together almost 1 1/2 years, having a child together was the reason for moving in together. I don't know if things necessarily changed, it's just that I probably wasn't as aware of things beforehand. It was good because I learned more about my bf at the time (all bad), which changed my mind about our relationship, but I wish I would've just stayed on my own with my child. It would've been a lot less complicated, I think. I mainly did it because I didn't think I'd be able to do it on my own. Guess what - I was wrong!

We were friends but, became more. He had to move out of his apartment-someone else bought it and was changing it into a bar. I offered to let him move in with me, in my mind, I was helping out a good friend and he really did need a place to stay. We didn't really talk about it much.
Yes, the relationship changed. We now have 2 boys and have been married for 8 years. We are still friends but also so much more. He's a great father and husband. I love the heck outta him and would do anything for him.

I decided when I first asked her out & she accepted. Don't read into that because it goes further than that. I was in a bad situation feeling down on myself. She was someone I knew @ work. I finally worked the courage to ask her out. When she said yes, I was elated. Turns out she had 2 kids(which I knew about, but didn't care) But we could not make date because of no babysitter. So I invited her & kids over to watch some movies(kids were 2 & 3 yrs old at the time). She accepted & came over. Long story short, married 10yrs. & don't regret.

If you really care about each other, you will wait until you are married. There is no reason to shack up before that. You will probably break up and if you do get married, you will get a divorce. If you really feel that this is a person that you would like to make a huge commitment with, get married...if not, your wasting you time and you will get hurt.

1995, we were friends to begin with. Because I did not want to live at home anymore. 5.5 years. Yes a "relationship started". It changed for the bad. When I loved them they did not love me, but when I did not love them they loved me. Just that I want me to move.
The one positive thing was it taught me who I really WAS.

we were together for 1.5 years and we did it mostly becuase we both saw what was in the future and some becuase of opportunity. I have the ring and I'm waiting for the right moment to pop the question!
