I like the idea of living together, I wish that my ex and I had lived together longer before marrige. He hid things from me, (drug use, etc) and I would have been able to catch on better or before marrying him if we had lived together longer. So yes I am for it, just remember that living together changes alot so make sure that this is what you both want and make sure both of you know what the next step will be.
Good Luck!!

The best way to truly get to know someone is to live with them. So if you are considering marriage it may be a good idea. If you are not considering marriage ask yourself why not. If it is because you are afraid of commitment you probably shouldn't live together. If you just don't believe marriage is necessary I see no problem with it.
There are a few you things you should keep in mind before moving in together though. They are:
1) Will anyone in your family be offended? Will it negatively affect you relationship with them?
2) How committed are you and your partner? If you might break up don't move anywhere you will have to sign a lease!
3) Do you both have the same plans for the future? If one person wants marriage and the other doesn't that will cause problems!
4) Why do you want to live together? Is it a good enough reason? Good reasons are individual to each relationship.
Remember living with other people is never easy! Be prepared to compromise!!!

I think it's a great idea and my parents always encouraged it...
I'm living with my fiancee. We've been together for seven years, since we were fourteen. We wanted to live together when we graduated from high school and went off to college, but we did not want to get married yet... We wanted to have our careers going before getting married. I am so happy that we've lived together all this time.
I think that it is important that you decide if you are planning on marrying this guy and vice versa before you move in together. A cohabiting relationship that begins with both partners having an intention of getting married is very different than if the two are unsure. Talk to him about your intentions before you take this step. If your relationship is shifty than don't move in together because it's not going to make it better...
Good luck!

it is definitly a good thing to move in together before getting married.. what if you move in and realize you can not possible spend the rest of your life under the same roof as this person.. many people are very tolerable and loveable when you see them everyday but then can go home to your own house, or your own room, and even if u have sleepovers a lot just knowing you have that option to leave.. when your binded to that one house with that same person, things can get tough.. it'll really put your love to the test.. it is def easier to break up than get a divorce. go for it !

unquestionably i for my area do no longer think of it incredibly is a undertaking in any respect. Like one in all those great form of alternative existence-judgements that are made, it is in basic terms yet another one which couples make in the suited interest of the two events, and should not be taken gently. This decision would desire to contain deep talk between the two people in touch related to the understanding of expectancies, duty and comittment. In mild of this, the question extremely would desire to be: "is residing at the same time without needing married a undertaking for me and my spouse." And, of direction, in elementary terms the two one in all you may answer that query. different evaluations - distinctly people who do no longer even understand the events in touch are notably a lot valueless. i understand many couples who've taken this path and it extremely works completely for them - and others the place it fell in need of being a stable element. after which back, i understand a lot of couples who've taken the marriage option with the real same outcomes.

I would of preffered to be married before we moved in with eachother before moved in together we have been together nearly 7 years. Only prob I find is you get too caught up in the day to day living that getting married which was once a priority is no longer a priority.... it sorta just doesn't happen! Better to at least get engaged first I think!

I'm happy we are living together before getting married. It gives me even more confidence in our compatablitly. He now knows ALL my dirty habits, and i know his. Not to mention, we are at that stage in love where any time apart is miserable. Now we have even less time apart.
Its good to know we have compatable sleep habits, he sleeps on the left side, i on the right. and we are dont kick or shove and cuddle together. These are things that are good to know before you're locked in for good. If we werent compatable in any way... i'd like to find that out before. I'd want him to be comfortable with every aspect of me, and if hes not... i'd want him to be able to work that escape plan that all men have.

I think it's fine. The only reason to get married is because marriage protects you with divorce when you break up. Everything else is the same. (if your area recognizes common law union).

I did it and it was a good experience. We got to know one another really well before we got married. With that said, I would only suggest it if you are thinking about getting engaged.
