Are you in favor in living in first before getting married?

me im not coz living in before marriage is not the well of God.Marriage is not trial n error.

Yes, I am personally in favor of that. We have seen a lot of failed marriages already. We all know how hard it is to have an annulment or divorce. I guess it is alright to try the relationship first before going into a serious thing such as marriage.

yes, i'm in favor of it too... i think its smart to get to know someone before you marry them and you can't really fully get to know someone till you live with them. there are a lot of things you will miss if you don't live with them.. like little bad habits they might have and things like that... i wouldn't marry someone without living with them for a little while.. gotta make sure its going to work out lol marriage is a big step. its the next step for a lot of people who have lived together for a while.

I don't agree at all. i believe living in together should be reserve after marriage. These trend nowadays about living together is just absurd because it just eliminates marriage all together. Also its just saying i'm experimenting on you. I feel so use when that is said to me. Am i a thing that you can just try on to see if it would work. I deserve more than that and my partner deserves that respect too. If you love someone, its not good to treat them like as if they are one of your experiments. There is no blessing in that. Sealing your relationship through marriage (with of course a blessing also from your parents) will give you access to what God has in stored for you. There is no preview in this movie. Its either you stay in a relationship till your ready to commit to be together in one roof or not. I hope your sister will see the other side of the coin too. By the way, you cant know the person even if you decide to live-in together. It takes a lifetime. Take it from my parents or anyone who is married. I admire their relationship so much. They adjust to each other's personality and they respect each other's space. Till now my mom would tell me new things she just discovers about dad. The thrill is still there. I love it. Its part of life. This does not just apply to marriage but also to God (all the more) and friendship. If that person is the one, its worth the wait. This generation needs to learn to wait. Everything paces fast today that we don't have time to appreciate those things one by one. So learn to wait. God bless!

I'm not in favor. A person is just giving himself a way out when things don't work. The commitment to a relationship would just be haphazard, and come what may, there will be no firm ground that would drive someone to really do their best in terms of commitment and responsibilities.

I am definitely in favor of living in first. You never know who you're about to marry until you live with them. I know from first hand experience as well as people around that have had this happen to them. It's a situation that would beneficial to anyone.

Sure. I think some people rush into situations too quickly and once they get into them, they sink and drown. Living together before you say I do allows you both to get to know each other and the habits and the situation sthat arise day to day by living together. It allows you to understand each other better and allows you to see what truly goes on when the real life situations come up. I lived with my DH for a few years before we got married. I don't have a problem with it.

I do not condemn those people who practices living in before marriage, but for me i am still in favor of living in after marriage so that we could still continue the tradition that we used to have from our elders to our children and to our children's next generation. It would be so nice that our children's generation would still continue the sanctity of marriage.

it actually depends, if both agreed to live together before marriage and of course they must also consider their parents if both parents agreed. if both belongs to open family then theres no problem with it. though of course its nice to live together first as you can only know the real attitude of the person if both of them live the same roof.

Definitely! You only get to truly know a person by living with them, vital in making a decision whether or not you want to spend the rest of your life with someone.

I know its not a popular view these days, but I was brought up to believe in waiting for marriage, and as an adult Christian I chose to stick to this, and waited for my husband. This was a commitment to God I made at a young age, and I am glad I did. I do see the point of living together - marriage is hard work and a test run might've been nice...lol...but I didn't believe this was an option for me in terms of my faith.

Well I am in favor of living in together first before we get married. There is this thing called the seven year itch. I heard like 3 cases on this matter. They broke up on thier seventh year because they can't understand each other anymore. I went to mass way back then and I recall one priest who said that its better for some couple to live in together before tieing a knot than marry each other and then break up. It could have been a lesser evil to live in first and marry than marry and break up to look for another pair. How about you are you in favor?

I would prefer to live together before getting married. If you have never lived with someone then how do you really know what they're like in their home state? It's good to really know people before it's too late!

I grew up in a country that is a little conservative and really respects marriage. I am not in favor of living in first, but I tend to understand those who do wants to live-in first before jumping to marriage. There are may possible reasons why they can't get into marriage easily, like when they have other responsibilities to other people and that it's their priority before having a family of their own.

see now days this type of relation has been developed in fear of marriage actually people on first sight attraction thinks that they are in love but actually sayin if this type of relation is not there than they will not be in love at first time because only marriage will be left so they will think twice or thrice for each other and than they will come to know that they love each other actually sometime people says yaar after marriage we comes to know about each other habit and than we are not able to survive but at that case if you are in true love than you can adjust so this living relationship is just a casual entertainment to enjoy life nothing else because its truth that you will leave after a year each other and will search for a new partner and this cycle goes on and finally when he day comes that you have to know settles at that time you will see another girl and will marry her.

if you can get married, then get married. If you're still saving for a big fabulous wedding day, then you can live with your guy. It doesn't matter. I myself is doing this.haha We're still not married but we're happy together.

choice of the best ways of life according to your consciense alone. Marriage should be done once a in lifetime, so before you decide to get married should do the introduction stage of each charackter in detail so as not not married, which means impaired.

I brought with a very religious and conservative family and my parents won't ever allow living in first before getting married. And now, with the post discussion I feel so guilty and I don't know how to react to the discussion because my life now seems complicated. I had a misunderstanding with my mother because I spend too much time to my boyfriend and now I run away from home. I am living together with my boyfriend in two months already and I feel unblessed because I am being a prodigal daughter and my boyfriend ask me to get married in civil first for legitimacy but I'm afraid because my parents won't allow us to just married in civil, they always follow our tradition in which to get married to church.

yes i am in favor of living in first because that is the part when you get to know who that person you are going to live your life with is. it is when you make adjustments and compromises until you think you are ready for a lifetime with that person. and that living in thing, you can get out of it if it really doesnt work out, opposed to marraige, in which youd end in annulment or divorce. i think many would prefer the former.

I am not in favor of that. I am not comfortable with living in arrangement. Since I belong from a community who really respect marriage, it is not an option for us not to marry our partner if we decided to start a family. For me, those live-in couple can escape so easily on their relationship when they feel it is not right for them which should not be the case! I mean couple who live together should try to understand that it will involve commitment & mutual respect aside from the love they feel towards each other.
