which do you prefer? here in our country it is considered immoral when you live together without the sanctity of marriage. and i was raised to follow it and believed in it also...thats why for me ..i'll choose marriage first ofcourse. but am against the live-in thing because i have friends whose into that but still i love them. so, which do you prefer?..takecare everyone.

I believe that marriage is better. I feel that those into live-ins do not have the courage or the commitment to marry each other, and to me, that smacks of a selfish love - which wouldn't be a love at all. Marriage is sacred, and I believe that if people truly love each other, then they marry, and live-ins are mainly for those who lust.

Hello prettylady I choose marriage for sure. Marriage is a beautiful thing an i want to have married once in my life time. We have to responsibility with what have we done, and that is good four our children. Live in make each of us ( our partner) didn't something to prove that we are live in together, and most of man didn't have responsibility with our self. So better have marriage than live in i guess. Thank you and God bless you

live-in or marriage? it depends how you take the two, we cannot be biased by choosing what we want and what is right? although our country was raised for being moralistics and spiritually manauvered, we highly speak of what is good and right. i do believe in sactity of marriage, but how would you characterized those got married after 5 years they get separated? those who had an affair? to those who have forced to marrying someone they dont love? to thoe who marry out of obligation and responsibility? we are living in a world of change, we adopt the western countries that's why we indulge ourselves in so called living-in. yes, for those who inclined morally they may find it absurd, no respect, etc. living-in allows two people for what they so called a free trial relationships to know each other, or if they compatible enough for each other, to those who are afraid of long time commitment, and etc. there are lots of pros and cons when we talk about relationship, but the most impportant thing whether we want to get married or live-in, we must be responsible for all our actions. its a matter of taking the risk when we get there. we need to respect the decision of a person based on what life he/she chooses. anyway life is to be enjoyed!

Marriage. Though most of us, single people haven't experienced it, we believe that it's an everlasting bond between God and the couple. It's a gift from God for the couple and that this marriage will go on and flourish to the way God intended it to flourish for Love never fails. God bless and stay blessed, Rauldapogi

I dont wanna offend anyone... but for me id rather go for live-in first before marriage. If you get married its gonna be 5 years adjustment. To get to know more about your partner. We cant deny the fact and not all marriage works it sometimes fail. If you think in 3-5 years of being together is enough already thats the only time that ill go for marriage.

i prefer both hehehe, because i experience it, we live in for a few months and get married. the good thing about experincing both is an advantage to you and your partner to be. because you will know more about her and her usual routine in the morning hehehe.

i prefer for a marriage, i hate live-in, even kissing with my past bf's i dont commit too, i really reserved all the 1st's for my future husband..its maybe the secret why our relationship go deeper into this.. in todays generation most of the young ladies get pregnant with no marriage involved..im quite against with that.. i really preferred for a marriage..

for social relationship the best is marriage first, but some of people just live-in and never get marriage for the rest of their live, for me it will be best for marriage first, it fair for the woman also
