I love this man with all my heart and he loves me too. But People say it's not good to live together with your boyfriend unless you are married but I beg to differ.

who cares what other people think? Just don't share bank accounts.

That usually comes from people who believe it is wrong to live with a male who you are not related or married to and the thought of pre-marital sex.
Personally, I think you need to live together before getting married because it really is true that you don't know someone fully until you live with them. Also, what if you get married, then move into together only to find out you don't get along like you thought you did?
My fiance and I moved in together 4 months after dating (very early) and have been together for over 2 years and we are perfectly happy and I wouldn't have it any other way. We are getting married next year and I'm glad to know that we can live together peacefully and be around eachother for long periods of time.
Do what you feel is best and don't listen to other's judgemental opinions.

My husband and I lived together before we were married. I think it's a good idea to make sure you are compatible and can tolerate each other for long periods of time. I know the religious Reich will look down on us for having lived together before we were married, but because of it we both know our good and bad habits and that we both love being with each other. Just my 2 cents worth.

People are always gonna talk and try to push their beliefs onto you. Just do what you want to do. You are a grown woman and the decision is up to you. I don't think I could marry someone without living with them first, its like a test. People also have to keep in mind that not everyone wants to get married. Like I said, live the way you want to live and are comfortable living, people are always going to push their beliefs on you, just ignore it and stay happy

People? What "People" are saying this? Most "People" I know stopped saying that when I was a teenager, and I knew better than to say that when my kids were teenagers - and THAT's been awhile!
You didn't mention your age - perhaps your age, or a big age difference, are a cause for concern by your loved ones. Are you under 18? Is he a lot older than you?

It isn't bad at all! You can do whatever you want, it's a free country. They may think that problems will show up because you're not married, but the truth is that more problems occur when you are, so yeah don't listen to them.

Oh lord. I cound't imagin waiting until I got married to live with someone. Living with a boyfriend or girlfriend before you get married is one of the best ways to learn everything about them. How else would you know if you could live with them for the rest of your life?

Many people live together for years without getting married. It's absolutely nothing to be worried about. It's your life.
What matters is whether you are happy and stay together.

Well, many Christians say that it is a sin to live together before marriage. There's verses in the Bible saying that.

if it works for you, tell others to stay out of your business. people love to put in their two cents where it doesn't belong. my husband and i lived together 3 yrs before we married and we just celebrated our 24th anniversary.
