I think it's great because you get to know each on a whole new level. You can tell if you're compatible in this way.

 

It is a BIG mistake and a sin. Just because it is an accepted practice does not make it right. Living together is not the same as being married. Wait until you are married, it is well worth the wait.

If you want to live together, then why get married?

It is a matter of comittment and ethics. Wait until you are married.

 

I think it hurts the prospect of marriage cause once you really get to know a person that up close and personal you might not like them as much anymore. And you could also get bored and just leave seeing as there is no binding contract. On the other hand, it is a good idea to get to know a person up close and personal so as to ascertain that you do indeed want to marry them.

 

to be completely honest i did it and am tryin to get out i wish i never would have i think its so trashy but the situation i was in i had no choice my bf became more controlling and it ruined our relationship...

 

It's wrong but it could either help or hurt ur relationship. So I dont kno man. I lived with my wife before marriage for about 4 months. It was unintentional (it's a long story).But we were gonna get married either way. Everyone's doing it now so everyone thinks its ok. I disagree

I think that living with a person before marriage is a good thing, on many levels.

My fiance and I are getting married tomorrow and we have been living together for 2 1/2 years now. I think you really don't know a person until you have lived with them, because you don't know their home habits and such.

I mean, wouldn't you hate it if you married somebody before moving in and then found out that they are horribly messy or have other little ticks that drive you insane? If you live with them first, it really allows you the chance to really know that person and my opinion is if you can't live with them, how in the world could you marry them?

 

Its not for everyone.

You should NOT move in to test the waters. That's the dumbest thing in the world and you might as well break up because that's where you are headed.

But if marriage has been discussed and it is agreed that it is in the future, you can either chose to wait until marriage or move in together. Either way, the chances of survival are the same.

My fiance and I knew we were going to get married eventually. We discussed it when we moved in together and decided to move in not to test the water but because there was real estate option that we could not pass on. I would never have moved in with him if there was any doubt in my mind on the subject of marriage. Likewise, I made it clear to him that I still want my princess wedding...he and I both deserve one. So we are saving, together, for that wedding. Yes its easy to just walk into the courthouse and get a piece of paper but after 6 years, we deserve a huge wedding bash (and I look good in a dress LOL)

 

I feel that it is good to live with your special someone with marriage daily life with them and living with them is good to know before you get married I honestly would highly suggest it

 

I lived with my husband one month after we met, we knew we were ''it''. It gave us a good view on how life was going to be like, got rid of some quirks and there isn't any surprises that you can't live with b/c if there are, don't you want to find out prior to wedding? We stayed common-law for four years and have been together 10 yrs.
