I don't believe living together before marriage is right, but it's almost necessary. I lived with my husband for a few weeks before we got married, but I wish I'd takin a lot more time to get to know him. He's not exactly the person I thought he was and now we fight a lot. I think that, had we lived together longer, that side would have come out and I would have probably thought differently about getting married. So yea, definately live together for a good while..get to know each other really well and think about things before getting married. Do you guys have the same interests? When you have kids (if you dont already) are you guys going to have conflicting views on how to raise them? Different religions? How dependent is he on his family and do you think that could possibly stand in the way of your marital happiness later on? These are some of the problems I am facing with my marriage, so again, I urge you to just think everything and every possibility out first and make sure you CAN spend every day with this person. GOOD LUCK!!

I would say live in relationships. I say this because marriage seems to complicate things. If you live with the same person for an extended period of time and you get along well that is the time to consider marriage.

Dear Doll, Research has shown that couples who cohabit before marriage express more dissatisfaction after getting married than those who do not cohabit.
Please do not listen to personal opinions. Study the statistics yourself and you will know that one of the risks for a marriage to end up in divorce is cohabitation before marriage.

hhmmmmm. You know, I have kids so I say--marriage. I wouldn't want my daughters to live in with a man--so I have to set a good example for them. Also, I would NEVER bring a man in to live with them without a covenant between us. I don't even think I'd do it, period under any circumstance.
Why cheapen myself? If you want me to be with you at all times, make the commitment--on paper! Marriage is a business agreement along with all that love and cherish stuff.

live in relationships. Marriage is the easiest thing to get into and the hardest to get out of.

It is an honourable thing to marry. You get to live life to the full and you do right by yourselves. its another thing if you fall out with each other and want to separate but gimme marriage over a live-in relationship anyday.

Marriage. It solidifies and legitimizes the relationship in the eyes of each other, the law, and society as a whole.

I choose marriage because at least there is some form of commitment. Live in has none.

I strongly suggest you live with the person for at least one year before even considering marriage. Marriage is a life-time commitment. Take it seriously.
