i think that's better before getting married...coz you won't know that person well if you won't be able to stay with him/her under the same roof..so if ever, you wouldn't like his/her attitude, you can break up with him/her before things get worse between the both of you without spending money for lawyers/divorce..

People have to do what works for them. I know a couple that lived together for like 15 years, never got married. They ended up splitting though because SHE wanted to get married and he was like "Why would I marry you now?"
Kinda true when you think about it, right? Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? I mean I dont think we all go around thinking like that, but it happens.
But most people move in with eachother on an impluse type of ordeal. Not to say some dont work out. It also depends how you feel about it morally.

If one of the people in the relationship wants to get married and the other doe not, maybe the one that does not is not ready to get married. If the couple is happy living together un married I really don't see a problem with that. And if there is pressure from the outside then the people on the outside of the relationship needs to back off.

The only viable reasons I know of for marriage are the legal benefits that are afforded spouses but not live in partners. Otherwise, I think marriage is an outdated institution that is unnecessary. If two people love each other and want to spend their lives together, they don't need a legal contract or a fancy wedding to do that. I have known people who lived together unmarried for years and were happier than married couples I know. It is up to each individual couple to decide what works best for them.

i don't try to promote the idea of doing this living together thing. i will say that it may be a good thing but i suspect it is not the will of God. that is what i think . i also think a great many people who have married and since parted ways should not have ever married anyone . being single is not a sin nor is it caused by homosexuality. i think that perhaps 70 to 90 % of people who have divorced or separated should just remain single and that they should not have got together in the first place.

that depends. they could be living together for mutual sex - not good because one of them might want a different partner and feelings could still get involved - or a way of both not being lonely - not good because they are depriving themselves of more - but if they have made a true commitment to each other it could work out although there are downsides to that, such as that if something happened to one of them the other could lose all they have invested materially in the relationship if the family of that one wanted to take everything left behind.
On the other hand, it does make it easier to separate and go your own ways if that doesn't work out.

How happy do you want to be? I say based on personal experience get MARRIED.As a man I know only when we make a commitment to a woman can she possible be happy.As a man you have given her everything and that is your freedom.She in turn gives you everything when she gives you her body.Gentlemen do not be deceived women are nester's and they need to feel secure and safe.Marriage is the only Honorable way to truly show her how much you love her.

I think that it is up to every person how they spend their life with their partner but just playing house doesnt give you the same legal rights as being married

for me living together is acceptable this days..maybe because of fear of having a unsuccesful marriage that will leave your home wreck..you have to consider a lot of things when you want to get married...physically,emotionally,mentally,financially stable..and all that...while when you are into a trial and error relationship..its good while it lasts...people who are fear of being committed to someone will rather choose this option...
