Couples living together before marriage

Personally, I think that it is a good idea for people to live together before they get married. This way, people are around each other much more often and are able to see how they will interact with each other if they were married. I also think that living together before marriage can show some possible warning signs that a relationship is not going to last. If you live with someone and decide that you can't stand some of their daily habits, it may not be a good idea to get married to them. This is my personal opinion. Many people will disagree with me and say that is is only proper to live with someone after marriage. I think this is an outdated belief. As far as your friend's situation, I think he should talk to her about the reasons she doesn't want to move in. Maybe there are some other problems in the relationship that need to be adressed before living together.

It is no one's business whether or not a couple live together before marriage unless one member of that couple is underage. If people make the decision to live together prior to marriage, you would expect that they have thought about it already. To be honest, if more people lived together before marriage they might actually find out if they're really well suited to each other before they take the step of getting married. Too many people jump into marriage and end up divorcing for reasons that they couldn't get along together - often because they got on each other's nerves when they did actually move in together. If you live together you can find out each other's bad habits and find out if you can live with those habits before making the marriage commitment...

As per me, there is no harm in living together before marriage. It's depend on the mutual agreement of the couples. If both agrees there is no harm but if one is dis-agree then no one should force to do this..It's all depends on the individual's choice..

To each his own obviously and bottomline whatever works best for the couple is what the best route is..I lived together with my husband for a few yrs before getting married...I PERSONALLY think its a better plan because truth of the matter is, you'll never REALLY know a person until you live with them for an extended period of time....Do I think its the best idea for everyone? No of course not, but for some it is...HOWEVER in the case of your friend, if its only a one sided desire then they should sit down and talk about it then come to a compromise...

It's a personal choice that your friend should respect. I've done both but that was my personal choice. Maybe your friend's fiance wants moving in to be another special part of the special day when they become husband and wife. Whatever her reasons are, it's not worth arguing over.

I don't think that it is wrong. I am living with my boyfriend now. I know that a lot of people don't agree with it, but I think that it is good to see how someone lives before you get married to them.

I think your friend needs to respect his fiance's decision not to move in with him. Maybe it is her personal belief that it is wrong to live with someone before you are married. There are many bad things that can happen due to living together before marriage. There is a higher divorce rate among those who live together first, and it also may cause other people to look down on you. I probably will not live with my boyfriend, because I do not want people to look down on my mother for it (I do not care what they think about me).

It nothing wrong with moving in before marriage. You get really know that person before you jump the broom. Its important to learn your parthner before its to late.

It's not allowed in our society during the past, but the new generation has changed a lot.Some young now choose to live toghther before marriage, even when they were students in college. Maybe it's not that serious , it's just a custom.
