is it okay to live together before marriage?

Honestly I think it is better to live with someone before you marry them. you never know how you are going to get along until you do live with them. They may live totally different than you.

I'm for it as you get to know everything about him/her, also living with each other if you can't do it unmarried you haven't got much hope for a long marriage.

If the two people who have to live together thinks that it is right to live together then I dont think so that the soceity or anyone else should have any problem. These people are two adults who are mature enough to understand and take their own decisions. We should not interfere in their life. Personally speaking I dont want to go for a live in relationship

I think living together before marriage is personal preference really. However, it shouldn't be something two people in a relationship jump into either. I see too many couples rush into living together, and rush into marriage. They barely have had enough time to learn about each other and see each person's good side, bad side, quirks, and more. Then they move in together or worse get married, and sit and complain about how the other one is. Well, if you took the time to cultivate the relationship before you jumped into living together, or marriage, then you would have seen all the intricate personality traits and characteristics before hand, and maybe realize that the person wasn't for you after all instead of finding that out after you have committed the relationship. Living together before marriage can also be a good thing, because it further allows the couple to see how each is with respect to having a household to run, and how they work together to maintain things like bills, cooking, cleaning, quality time, etc... The key is to take the time to get to know one another before you truly commit, because chances are if they have bad flaws you will see them before you marry them, and maybe you will make a better choice.

no i don't like it

no.not at all

i am against it...

I live with my partner and we're not married, I am totally against living together before marriage. :)

i lived with my husband before we got married

Yes of course it is ok. Better to know whether the relationship is going to last a lifetime before making that promise.

yes, we where brought up to understand that living together was a good thing. you get to know that person and him you and all of you. you moods and how you are with his friends and him with yours. is he neat or a slob. i lived with mine for 11/2 year before we got married and im glad to have do so.

This depends in which country you are living. If two mature persons decide to live together then I see no harm in it.

Yes, I think its fine

Whatever you decide is best. Society cannot anylonger tell you whats right and wrong in relationships.

lol....y not....if a couple feel that they have control over each other...though keeping it aside...if the couple is fully convinced that they can spend their whole life together so its no harm doing all those things together which they have to do after marriage....provided they take proper protection....

Yes, but in England you supposedly have the same rights as if you were married when you live together (it's actually not true, but most people beleive it to be), so really living together is marriage but without the papers.

ya i

Ya its better if both are enjoying. what's wrong?

I htink it is, it gives you a taset for whaqt your in for, maybe if you know then you wont devorce because of differences later

I think so. My husband and I lived together for 3 years before we got married.
