some couple wants to get married first before they live together.but some couple believe that even you dont get married,your relationship will become happy and it will last for a long time.there's a lot of couples who don't get married but they are still together.but some married couples are already seperated.what really makes the relationship succesful?is it based upon marriage or it's better to live together without getting married?

There's really no sure solution for marriage to be successful. I guess it all depends on the couples on how well they can handle things as married couples. I have nothing against living in but i don't mind it either. It just depends on the girl i'm with if she's ok with it or if her parents agree to it. For as long as there are plans of getting married, then i guess living in is ok. Marriage is some kind of a security just in case like for the kids and property etc.

yah maybe it depend's upon the couple if their relationship will become sucessful.like what you've said,it is some kind of a security.it can also be a formality for the couple or to become legal to stay in one roof together.sometimes,they will get married to have the right with each others property he he.because if you are already married,everything will be conjugal.but it really depends on how will the couple will handle their relationship even without getting married.thanks for the response.

Yeah, it's really a case to case basis. It just depends on which one will work for them better. Some people usually try living in for awhile and see if they'll hit it off then proceed with marriage maybe after few months or years.

I prefer to be married, but I don't mind living with my boyfriend until we get married. It helps me know him on a different level before we get married. I see what he is like on a daily basis all day every day. But I couldn't just live with him without a marriage in the future.

you have a point.it will help you to get to know him better and vice versa.and after a few years if both of you think that you are both ready to get married,and you already know each other very well,then go for it.thanks for the reponse
