Why is it that older people have a problem with younger couples living together before marriage?

Answer 1

Maybe it is because they have had some experience with life and know how hard it is to live with someone especially without the commitment of marriage.

Answer 2

I personally think its a good idea. Get to know each other quirks and habits before you're Stuck with them. My fiance says he's happy we are living together first. Apparently i have a few bad habits that needed some addressing (and so did he!!) I think our communication skills are stronger, because when you fight - you just cant run away... you HAVE to deal with them right then and there (or sooner rather than later). That lead us to some serious growth on the part of both parties. I doubt our relationship would have worked through some of our arguements, if i had a chance to not confront the problem. BUT i read an article last week about how, statistically, living together prior to marriage has a higher divorce rate than staying seperate. I dont get that personally... but i didnt do the research!!

Answer 3

Statistics say those who live together before marriage are more likely to divorce. Older people are also not used to this. They usually never lived together before marriage.

Answer 4

Would you be happier knowing that your mother lived around with many men before marrying your father?

Why do younger people want to live together, bring children into the world and then find someone else? The child pays!

Women are stupid to entry into live together relationships with men because all they become are CONVENIENT SEX without consequences.

If he wants to live in your bed, why don't he want to marry you?

Don't talk about love, feelings, ethics or responsibilities.

Just read all the relationship crap in this forum.

Answer 5

because it is too easy these days to discount marriage. And men love to test drive as much as possible without buying the "car"
