Living together before marriage or marriage then live together?

Get married first, then live together. Pretty much traditional, but, still the better choice for me. Marriage is biblical, living in together is not.

I believe it depends on the couple and the people involve. One of my cousins lived with his girlfriend for over 10 years then they got married and now they are still happily married. My other cousin lived with her boyfriend then got married and divorced within a year of the marriage. You just never know. I personally rather get married then live together. I know I'm a bit old fashion when it comes to that, but that's just my preference. Years ago I read a study that said there is a bigger chance of getting a divorce if you've lived with your spouse before getting married. I'm not sure how accurate that study is/was but its something that always stuck in my head.

I am currelty living with my gf. this is someting we agreed upon. she has been married before and is now divorced. she wanted to live her partner frist this time around becase she felt it would be better. as for me, I had alwasy thougt of getting married then living together, but times have changed and I decied to go along with it. there was some dissaproval form parents but they relented and changed there mind. so I think living togeter seems to be ideal for now.

You really have to love a person to avoid his weaknesses.If you don't you're going to start picking at each other very soon 24/7.So don't take this decision too soon.It's very hard living with another human being and not turn into jerk :)But If you've got willpower,you'll suceed to live under one roof :)
