This is not really a religious issue.

Also, I am not asking about myself since I am not moving in with anyone. I was just curious.

I keep coming across questions and stories from girls about how their guys won't marry them and yet, they live with them. So I thought maybe there was a connection.

YES..... because it's like they're already married.
They're playing house.
And if they're already acting like they're married, what's the point of actually GETTING married?!
Besides, there will always be something in their head saying, "Oh... this is only temporary. I can always get out of this fast."

Yes, I think a woman makes a mistake by moving in with a guy before marriage. If a man is getting everything he would be getting in a married relationship before he gets married, what incentive is there for him to get married ? The woman ends up doing the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and sex with him, so he reaps the benefits of marriage without having to make the commitment.

Absolutely! Especially in today's world where we live in this very disposable world. Think of it from the guys point of view for a moment. Why should he get married if he can have a live in girl friend sho he can have sex with any time he wishes while trying presumably fooling himself and the girl into thinking he is in a committed relationship. Thats not committed.......its convenient is what it is.....he can easily get out of it anytime he wants. and you women play just as important of a role......you get yourself believing sometimes that he will come around when more often than not he doesn't. So you play house for awhile thinking also its a committed relationship but its not. Nope...it is not wise to move in together. Good Luck to your friend!

I think It depends on the couple. In a way I'm a hypocrite because my 20yr old sister wants to live with her guy even though I can see that their relationship isn't anything special, but I moved in with my now husband when I was 19yrs old but we were crazy in love as we are now and knew we were meant for each other I think CRAZY IN LOVE for 2 people is rare now days. Alot of people thought we were wrong moving in but we both knew we had something great and we have been together for 7yrs!

The mistake they make is they think the next step will naturally be marriage...without the commitment of marriage it makes it so much easier to walk away when the going gets tough, but if any person vows for better or worse...its their integrity on the line...they will at least give it their best effort before blaming the other person for their mistake...ha!

You shouldn't marry him if you have to ask this question. If he loves you, he'll marry you no matter if you live with him or not. You aren't trying to keep the honest guy honest here. He's either honest or he's not. The purpose of moving in together is to see if you are compatible with one another for the long term, not to trick you into having more sex with him so he doesn't have to marry you. Frankly if that discourages him from proposing to you, you need to tell this guy to go f*ck himself. He's not worth the trouble.

Now, i've got in no way been married, nor do I even have babies, yet I do think of that for the period of a marriage, the two events might desire to have equivalent rights and potential. even although, I do think of that start mothers and fathers might desire to have extra potential over their babies than stepparents, atleast in the beginning up. you could make suggestions approximately techniques the newborn might desire to be raised, however the ideal judgements might desire to be as much as the real dad or mum. approximately entering into the country, that could desire to be an in intensity talk the place the full kinfolk might desire to truly think of roughly and talk what's nice for the kinfolk as an entire. What i'm attempting to declare is that no one occasion in a marriage might desire to have extra or much less potential than the different. a marriage is a union wherein 2 human beings come jointly to make one kinfolk, so all suggestions might desire to be run for the time of the kinfolk and evaluated to be sure which of them are ideal for the kinfolk.

Not all men will put off proposing once their prospective wife moves in with them..... but it can make him put it off for longer than he would have had they not moved in. Studies have suggested that moving in together does not strengthen the marriage or make for a better one..... that is if the couple ever decides to marry.

No, it mean you need a trial period before you know what you really want. thats ok, but moving in is a big step, so you must have feelings or you wouldn't of done that. Discouraging from proposing is normal only if you don't know what you really want. Realise what you want and do what is best for you not him take care Heather
