Live-in Relationships means living with a person(before marriage) to see if he/she is the one whom you are looking for.

I'd rather live with someone first.... and not just 6 months or so... as long as you don't commit to joint financial responsibilities, live-ins are a lot easier to get out of than a divorce.

Love is a decision.
If you move in together with the intention of moving out if things go pear-shaped you will join the ever increasing throng of couples who love each other until it gets a bit hard. There is no real commitment.
Even in marriage there can be an attitude of 'well I can always get a divorce'. The secret (and I wish it wasn't a secret) to a stable, happy marriage is keep not to 'let the sun go down on your wrath'. If you must have an argument, say sorry before the day finishes. The longer you let it fester the more the chance of infection and, before you know it, an 'amputation' seems to be the only answer.
If s/he won't commit to marriage, move on as it will only end in a split anyway.

I'm sorry but if you take the TIME to get to know someone (however long it takes) there is no need to live with them before marriage. In my opinion, living together is just a short cut on getting to know the person. My hubby and I dated for two years and have been married 37 years next month so it does work...

I have been in both a live-in and separate living and living with someone will get both people on the same page for the household. But I heard that the divorce rate is higher if you live together before marriage. Good luck

That is not the real reason for living together. The real reason is that you do not want that full relationship, just part of it. But,the emotional relationship is still there. It hurts no less for one of these type of relationships to break than divorce.
Couples counseling before marriage or move in can help people to make this important decision.

I think it's a good idea, because you get to know the person living habits and how the two of you will work things out before marriage. Knowing what I know now about my EX I would not have married him.

since traditional roles in marriage don't really apply to everyone anymore, I don't think it is as simple as getting the benefits without the responsibility marriage is a truly huge decision and commitment, and it is good to really know the person before you make that commitment. I think it is quite healthy to live together before marriage, but there is responsibility in living with each other as well and you need to recognize that any commitment that you make to each other should be honored, not just those witnessed at the alter.

My view is that you don't truly love eachother. If you have to wonder if this is going to work out and that is the person you are looking for, then you are not in love.
True love is not a deal. You will never have to wonder about anything. You will be certain that he/she is the person you will marry naturally! You will be so happy together and ready to make a commitment till death do you part.
If you're not sure, my advise to you is do not get married. If you have to live with your partner first, just consider her your roommate

i guess how things are now in days, i think moving in would be better than actually getting married because if this person is not whom u want to spend the rest of your life with, then u can just boot her out ur place. but please make sure u use a jimmy because once u have a kid, baby!! its for life u will be stuck with this person. so be very smart live with her first and dont get married and dont have kids til ur really sure that this woman is the right one for u

in my opinion live-in is good.
But it is more exciting if u will get married first before u live in one roof. But before u get to marriage you'd better know the person well & also the family of that person.
