I know that this is wrong, but I'm curious to know what other people think.

The majority of the populations around the world would say that it is better to live with someone before marriage. In my religion it is highly frowned against. My belief is that it is best to wait for marriage, but if you are in love, then it is ok. Also, if you live with someone of the opposite sex you are not dating, for financial reasons, I have no issues with.

I think it is a good idea. What do they say, you don't know a person until you live with them. You are better off finding out how well things work out before than after you make that life long commitment.

it is considered wrong yes. but i say that in this day and age that you have to. because people are really good at hiding their true selves now. youc an date for a long time before you get married but you still dont know what they do behind closed doors. you have to live with them first to see how they really are and sometimes that doesnt even work. for example: i lived with my husband for 6 months before we got married. lived together as married for 1 year and 3 months and i still didnt know about his fetish for looking at little girls until just recently because he had been doing it for so long he knew how to cover it up.

People do it all the time - they are called families containing blood relatives.
Other people do it as well - they are called roommates in coed dorms for colleges. It usually works fairly well; as well as any other living arrangement.
There may be people who assume that more is happening than is actually occurring, but that's a different question.

Everyone has their own beliefs, but I think you SHOULD live with someone first. I think you do not truly know a person (and all of their "quirks") until you live with them. Dating is supposed to be the time when you find out which traits and quirks you like or dislike, can tolorate, or can't. When you find a person who's worse "quirk" doesnt bother you that bad, thats the one for you! :)

it is not wrong it is better to live with someone before marriage because you find out way more about them and their habbits and then you can definately see the person properly and maibe after all you wouldnt want to get married so living with them is fine

I think it is a good way to truly get to know the person and their behaviors/habits. I wouldnt want to get married and then realize I could not stand to live with the man/woman.

Ho is it wrong? It is common sense, if you can't live with someone then you certainly should not get married. I think you should live with someone for at least 6 months before deciding to get married.

I think it's a good thing (unless you have moral/religious objections) because you get to see who they really are and if you can be with them forever. If you can live with someone then you can probably spend most of your life with them too.
