What Do You Think Of Living Together Before Getting Married.

Nowadays many young couples will live together before they are getting married. They hold the ideas of having a trial marriage, or sharing rent, or just enjoying sex. If they think that they are not suitable for each other then they can leave without any worries like splitting their property or something like that. They will not try to bear each other and learn to forgive each others shortcomings. Even though those who get married are now more prone to get divorced for trivialities they cannot stand.

Not much is going to change between being married and living together, the same problems will come up and if they can't deal with them, its better do know that before you get married

Will it be a loss to woman if the BF does not want to get married with her?

@jessyu honestly the whole idea of marriage is outdated,and there is nothing wrong with not ever getting married but that's not the point I gusse. its a blessing. if he has those feeling now why would it change later? it saves her from a horrible marriage and divorce

My partner and I have both known couples who thought they had a great relationship but then moved in together and couldn't stand it! We've also said that it's good to live together first because you don't really know someone until you live with them. We've had a couple of 'trials' in the way of going on holiday together, and we spend time staying at each other's homes but I think we've decided that we will be living together before getting married. Partly for all of the above reasons but also out of practicality and the fact that marriage isn't something we feel we need to do.

I think it would depend on the couple. As for myself, it certainly didn't hurt. My husband and I have been married for 20 years now!

My husband and I lived together for five years before getting married. I really did not want to get married because I had a lousy first marriage. We did get married 2 years ago and the only thing that has changed is now it is on paper.

If we love each other it does not matter whether there will be a piece of paper or not, right?

I see nothing wrong with living together and getting to know each other first.

@MusesM yeah, you are right. Maybe at the very beginning we do not love each other, after staying together along, we will fall in love with each other

Its all about choices.. personal beliefs and morals. It is left to each individual.

I don't agree to this.Other things can be done,but it is wrong to indulge in physical relation before marriage.
