Living together before marriage

If you are a religious person then living in with your partner would not be proper. But in general, in my personal point of view, I have nothing against living in with a partner because at least you will know the person better even before marrying him/her. This is the chance wherein you can make the relationship deeper and more meaningful. Also, it will open your eyes whether this person is the one whom you will want to spend the rest of your life with. Because the mortality rate of divorce is very high-because even if the relationship s still new but girl got pregnant=divorce. Or if not financially stable=divorce. I'm sure you're pretty aware of it all. Good day!

Well, statistically, living together does increase the chances of divorce. That's just how it is. As for it being a good idea, or finding out who they really are, you should be doing that during the dating process. I don't know of any off the top of my head that were glad to have lived together before they got married. But I do know a few that wished they hadn't. Most of the people I know who are glad they lived together before getting married, never got married. Which living together reduces your chance of getting married, so that's not surprising.

I think that living together is a good thing. Even though it was against my up bringing, I dont see a problem with living together. From my own experience it has really helped me see the type of man that I am with and has saved me from marrying people that would have been abusive. So yes, Im all for it.

Call me old fashioned, but I myself would not agree to living together rule. I mean what good is a relationship if it is based on conditions? I mean the main notion of moving in together is that a couple wants to know whether they are compatible with each other indoor. What this means is that it is like a test where the failure to make the partner happy breaks off the relationship. Don't you feel that is a selfish intention? When conditions are placed in a relationship like that it is bound to get sour. I know this is not true for many couples. And there is actually no way a married life can be observed by testing it without the legal papers. Marriage is always different.

Marriage is a contractual agreement between two people that is up held in court to an extent. The husband or wife has the right to survivorship if anything happens to other without a prenuptial. Divorce will happen because people let it happen and it is so easy to get one. Living together is up the individuals and how comfortable they are with each other. I think ground rules need to be set and followed. Do I think it is a good idea, yes, it is. You can get up and leave easier than when your married with children. It is easier to uproot yourself than it is a whole family.Once each of you realizes what the other is like you can either fix it , or leave it, it is that simple.

Living together even for an entire day reveals many unknown things that people can hardly get to know just by dating.It shows how a person reacts to things, whether he or she really cares for you and all.I think it is of course a good idea to live in for at least few months before taking the final plunge.Its always better to have a broken relationship than a broken marriage.

The Catholic church discourages living in before marriage. I am a Catholic but I think living together before marriage is a practical idea. I believe that marriage isn't temporary. It's a lifetime thing. So you have to be sure that the person you're marrying is the same person that you'd want to share the rest of your life with. You have to get to know the person well, and that will only happen if you live in the same roof. Living in prepares you to the kind of life that you may have with a person, should you choose to marry that person. I think living in actually decreases the chances of divorce.
