Break up is easy which loses its class of being married. Sorry but classy women never live in. They have a name and they have respect

You don't have any of the legal benefits of a married couple, example health insurance, discounts on auto insurance, death/disability benefits. You don't get to make any medical decisions in the case that something happens, you may not even be permitted in the room. If you get into an argument there is nothing to say that person ever has to come back or talk to you again at all. Not to mention if you are already living together, why waste the time or money on a wedding. You know the saying "Why buy the cow, when you get the milk for free. Also, marriage is mainly about compromise, it's getting to know each other's quirks and habits and compromising on them that you don't learn to do if you live together before marriage.

It is too easy to just walk away if there are problems, you have no impetus or commitment to work things out! There is a tie between you and the other person, what Christians call a "soul tie"! If you two were to break up, there would be a wounding of your soul! It would make your hearts harder! Eventually, this type of arrangement results in a cold, hard heart, with no room for love!
If you were to have children, they would be considered illegitimate! They would not be privy to the same benefits as the offspring of a married couple! Also, if you were to break up, the fight for custody could actually be nastier than within a marriage!
Government-wise and employment-wise, you don't have the same benefits as a married couple would!
Most important, marriage is a commitment! If you are not willing to commit to a person for life, then why commit to them for only a certain amount of time, say 3 or 4 years?

The down side to living together are the benefits provided by the government for example Surviver Social Security.

There are a number of legal implications. If two people live together without being married, there are no rights for inheritance, division of property, support, or alimony in the event of a breakup.

Tim and Daphne Reid gave the best answer for this...
You never really know how to be...
It is difficult to decide which roles will go to whom...
You have no name...
You really don't have the respect of a married person...you are not really part of that community of people...
The level of commitment just isn't the same
I could go on and on...

There are none.
I think living together before marriage is a GREAT move.
It's like test driving a car befor eyou buy it. It's good to know how things are going to workout BEFORE making that commitment.
My wife and I lived together for two years before we got married, and it was one of the smartest moves we've ever made. It helped strengthen our bond and get used to how we live and opperate together.

People look down on you, if one partner works for a job with benefits the other cannot receive them (usually), there is less commitment...

There is not as much stability, the two people are not linked in any way, one can just leave at any time.

Most importantly, they are legal problems- you don't inherit from a roomate, and you don't have the ability to see them in the hospital...
and hundreds of other tiny little rights.
