Why people get married yet others prefer "live-in"? I want to get married someday but I have many questions in mind. Waht if he is like this or like that? So if possible, i want us live together for a month or so before we get married 'coz you will only know the real character of a person if you live in one roof. What about you friends here in Mylot?

marriage if you no longer doubt his sincerity and live-in if there are signs that it won't work out. do not feel pressured by friends and family, its your life and its your opinion that matters.

I think people that live together for a long time are just afraid of commitment. I think living together for a bit before marriage can be actually beneficial for some.

Yes, I have heard this before.. You can only really know a person when you live with them.. Well I guess that is true. I have seen it all.. But if I was to be in love and really love a man, I would rather be married to him white staying in the same home..
