Though it's an age old topic but it always brings in new concepts and views. Lets see what this forum has to offer.
Building a relationship is tough but to maintain it is even tougher, specially if there is compromise involved and of no commitment. I think live-in relations have got it benefits but lacks in the basic.

Lacks in the basics of what?
For me marriage is simply a peice of paper i dont feel it changes the way you feel about another person i dont think it makes anyone more likely to stay faithful or to try any harder.
I am not married to my partner weve been together 7 years and share everything i wouldnt treat him or love him any differently if we were married and i certainly dont think we lack in any aspect!

Well Kezabelle,
I don't think you got my point. Here living together is not the point but most of the live-in relations (your might be exception for which you are the best judge), since it's not a commitment, results in compromise. And since there is no commitment if there comes a difference in the later period of living-together, there is only one way out. The children will suffer the most in that case.
Commitment I believe gives you another chance to reconcile, look back and reconsider. Besides if you love a person only when he/she is good to you is not love.

How can live in couples lack commitment, im very commited to my partner as im sure most others are you can be married and still lacking commitment thats my point just being married does not make someone work harder at their relationship.
