Cohabitation Vs. Marriage?

No! Do not live together before marriage!!!

Studies time and time again have shown that couples who live together before getting married are more likely to end up divorced after marriage.

I think this is because people who feel it's okay to live together before marriage generally don't take the issue of marriage seriously - they are more risk takers and think less of consequences. They aren't serious about marriage before marriage, what makes you think they're going to be serious about it after?

Cohabitation is a bad concept. Couples who do marry after residing mutually are 50% plenty extra probably to divorce than people who did no longer. purely 12 % of couples who've started their relationship with cohabitation finally end up with a marriage lasting 10 years or extra. there is plenty extra on the link. The college of Wisconsin at Madison (no longer often a bastion of conservatism) did a be taught with comparable result. additionally look on the linked fee of sexual abuse of infants in a cohabitating concern. additionally, having a reliable, 2-determine family is the only terrific predictor of overall performance in college.

i think the whole reason mariage don't last as lng as they use to is cos couple wanna have a 'preview' of marriage and move in together and this lasts for a few years then they dicide to get married then things don't work out cos the whole point of getting married i think is to start a new life together, and if couples have already done that before marriage then it's take the years of marriage, hope i'm making sense. but it's all upto individual in what the wanna do, but personally i wanna get married then move in together,

I don't know if it really matters either way. My wife and I lived together for almost 3 years before we got married. I do think it helps to really get to know each other's habits and that way there are no real surprises after you get married. I also think that for some people they prefer to be more traditional and not live together. Either way, the key to a good relationship is to take the time to get to know each other first, see each other really sick & down in the dumps, you know experience some real life situations with the other person to see what kind of person they truly are. Even after living together for 3 yrs, it was different when we got married. It was like we got closer and things were even better.

If you ever expect to get married, probably not - you get comfortable, then marriage seems pointless because you're already living that way. Otherwise, no reason why not.

just my opinion, but live together first.....i got married before living with my ex husband. he hit me for the first time after we were married. i had no clue he was abusive. there were absolutely no signs. but you do what you are comfortable with. good luck

Abstain from sex, get to kow each other, ask for God's guidance and then get married if its His will for you both.
