live in

The best way to get to know someone is to live with them in the same house. I have been with my partner for over 5 years now and we are getting married on the 1st May. I am really glad we have lived together, we have got to know each other really well, and got used to each other's little ways

hi there, my opinion is like this: living together outside the sacrament of marriage is not ok for me. It should be done legally or at the altar in the presence of the priest/pastor....but i'm not condemning nor against those couples who are living together. perhaps they are not yet ready emotionally, financially, psychologically. but this preparedness should not take any longer. they must either decide to get married or go on separate ways as friends. Take note, there are growing kids.

When you're young and don't know much about life, you tend to go against living together. But when you're mature and already have much experience, you'll know that living together would be very wise to know your compatibility with your partner. Know matter how long you have been in a bf/gf relationship, you wouldn't really know the real person in hem/her unless you live with him/her in one roof. If anything goes wrong, living together would save you from having a marriage disaster.

I live in India. Here the society doen't approve live in relationships. But now a days changes are there. In cities people are having live in relationships. It is good because you have more chances to know about your partners well. If you are having an arranged marriage you can never judge your parner. Even though if you are having a love marriage you cannot better know your partner unless you live with him or her.

Wonderful - How nice it is that we are seeing and hearing only wonderful happenings as your thoughts describe. The bent of mind is changed and anything is acceptable now a days. Now every one wants to be independent and always enjoying.We cannot stop any one because they feel that is right. Let every one enjoy as they like - We are living in a wonderful world. But I favor only LIVING IN.

I don't agree in LIVE-IN set up. It is a trial and error set up. It is not good that couple living together without the blessing of marriage. It is the woman who is in the losing side.

There is nothing wrong with living in together with your boyfriend/ girlfriend in one house before you get marry. You can get to know the real person he is, when you live with him. He can show you his true intentions with you. You can find out soon all his weaknesses and strength in his life, after that you can decide if can accept him, to be your life partner. If you can accept everything about him, then maybe both of you will start to plan to settle everything in good terms like getting marry. Marriage is a sacred sacrament. You have to think more times before you jump into that conclusion. Step by step situation. It's easy to decide sometimes but it's hard to back out. Me and my boyfriend are planning to live together under one roof before we get marry, to get to know more each other. We just want to know if we can rely to each other's attitude and can able to live a happy life in the near future. I agree with that, we just have to be patient and understanding to our partner in order to grow and find success in our relationship.
