Which do you prefer Living-in without Marriage or Marriage before living-in?

Honestly, does it matter? I mean seriously, if people want to live together be it married or not everyone has that right.

For me wedding/marriage is just a piece of paper. I still believe in marriage and dreams of having a beautiful one but what matters most is the commitment of the persons involved. I live in a country where marriage is a sacred sacrament and living-in withot marriage is strongly discourage by the church and I think that if you're not strongly commited to the other person then it's useless for the two of you to get married and even live-in as couple.

I am married and we didn't live together before we got married. So, obviously I prefer marriage first.

Marriage before living in is a silly idea I think. Living with another person is so difficult and to have to learn to live with someone and also knowing that you're married and committed to each other and can't just get up to leave is scary! I think living together first is a great test. You have to try before you buy.

I think it is a good idea to live with someone for a while before getting married. It lets you know if you are truly compatible. I do believe that marraige and vows are more than just a piece of paper. I and my husband actually did a second wedding ceremony on our 10th anniversary to restate the vows and make some new ones to each other. And there are very very few reasons that I believe divorce is ok. Of course if there is abuse then it's time to leave immediately. But for the most part if you took vows then you stick by them. Both people must be committed and ready to work at any relationship. It makes it a lot harder to do if you marry and then find out you were not compatible at all.

I think it is a fairy tale that the lovers can have a lifelong and sweety relationship.So,just be practical and avoid the stupid certificate

That would be a difficult question because it is not right to generalize. It depends on the age and also the type of relationship you share and have with your partner. I think if you are truly in love, then you can consider marriage. However, if you think you are not very sure and would like to try it out with the other person first, then you can consider living in. I think living in makes more sense when you don't exactly love the other person as deeply and are perhaps more attracted physically, so you are not very sure about the compatibility issues.

Marriage is just a public display in society that you two are committed to each other. Couples should only consider marriage when they both agree and know that they could manage that next step in their relationship. That's why you have to get to know your partner first before you decide if it is indeed a good idea to tie the knot with them or take more time to consider. Living in together is a good way of getting to know your partner. Just live in together to get acquainted more with each other's habits. You don't actually have to do what real husbands and wives do in an actual marriage but, they could simulate a scenario like that, as in bills, meals,chores and anything typical that you can find in marriage without the children. If they think they see that its a possibility, then that's when they should consider if they be together or not anymore... (^_^")

I am married. I have my family. I have my life partner. I have my children. I feel myself lucky enough than those are unmarried. I am rich in this respect and I consider them poorer who have not married till now. Marriage is name of a law. I have my brothers and sisters in law. And it is pride for me that I am passing my legal life. I think there is no life with out wife and no band with out husband.

My personal opinion on the matter is that it's important to try living with the person before marrying them, at least for a little while. My reasoning behind this is, you're going to have to learn how to deal with one another daily if you intend to get married and, well, you minus well get used to it before actually getting married, just in case it doesn't work out.

Living together with married or not is a option in your live. The most important for me what purpose the option that we do. To marry or not, so the decission must have lived together basically. Life is beutiful, not only made difficult because of vagueness.

in my side i would want to marrying me before we start to the next level. If both of you love eact other, have trust, helping hands, conquer anything, helping making decision, not flirting to someone else there. have faith to each other and you both know your believes in life.. if we failed there's no words to say goodbye but we have arguments in life but it's doesn't meant for us to give up just like that but it's a way to built and make your relationship more stronger and stronger. if you think you are both ready to this why not to commit marriage it's fun and happy to be forever to someone you makes you feel better. marriage it's way to feel to your loveone how is much important to you.. happy mylottingQ!Q
