Living together is it ok?

That is up to you. Do you feel it is wrong? I lived with my husband for about 2 months before we got married. I wanted to get married first but my lease was up and the wedding pllans where takeing forever. If you love this person living together is a great test to how being married will be. Some people espicaly older realtives will judge you but do what makes you happy. I belive god gave us all free will to make the choices we choose to make. If you are a good person that is what matters. Why would living with someone you love be a sin? I mean I know some people do think that but that is why it is up to you and your boyfriend! The only thing I would defintly say is if you are just dating you can end it at any time. If you live together and you are both on a lease you are obligated to live together or at least pay half or all of that rent for a year. Just to protect yourself you could get your own apartment if you can afford it and have him stay there but it is your place and your rules. This is what I did when I first moved out. My husband was still in school so he could not get on a lease anyway but he was there a lot and we still had our privacy. Consider all the options. Don't do it just to get out of your parents house or another living situation like that do it because you want to live with this person and make a big commiment!

It is totally up to you. I think it is a way to really get to know that person before you step into a marriage. If you and your partner are both okay with it and your family will not dis-own you then, yes, I think it would be okay.

That is a judgement call, and we are not to judge. How do you feel about it? I have mixed feelings about it because in God's eyes it is wrong., but if you love the person and plain on marrying them then I say go for it. It all depends on the person and how you feel. Don't let me or anyone else change your mind. You do whats in your heart!

You do what you feel is right for you - don't think about whether some migt condemn you and your behaviour as a sin . I think it has its advantages to live together before you get married - at least you will have no unexpected surprises and I would always recommend it

Personally I see nothing wrong with it. I lived with my current boyfriend for a year before i got pregnant and I still live with him now and raise our son. It's really no different than being married.

I don't think it's a sin. I lived my husband before we got married. How do you know if you can live with someone after you get married if you didn't try it before you were married?

I THINK NO PROBS...

very much as long as both are understanding... marriage is nothing but a formal process

It depends on your beliefs, I think it's ok, whiles others out there might not.

as long as u dont have bad intention

Hope its ok, been living with fiance for 5 years, no plans on getting married, I guess we will burn in hell....I am sure we won't be alone.

I don’t really care what ‘some’ people say. A lot of people say a lot of things. At the end of the day you’ll be living with this person (if you get married) for the next forty/fifty years. Spending a year together in the same house out of wed-lock isn’t going to send you to hell, you’re certifying that you’re the right couple for each other.

Living together decreases your chances of marriage. Once you move in together a man thinks he has you there already why get married?

I think that things change as the world changes. What use to be less acceptable and scene as a sin now is more necessary to prevent worse things like divorce involving children and domestic abuse issues from getting married without knowing what you are getting into.

you have to remember that back in the day of 'living under the brush' you lived at home until you got wed,,it is just how it was,women were limited in their options but not so nowadays and if women work,take on bills,mend cars,work in finance for gods sake they leave home well before a man takes them on,,i mean im no feminist but women can do anything now including choosing not to be part of a couple,,the ties that bound no longer exist and with perks come responsibility,times have changed,,,you live under the brush love,,the level of committment is still there if your relationship is real,,and if not,will you move back in with mum and dad,,like hell you will,,

I don't think it is okay.You have to keep up the values of society.Again it is better to be in a wedlock.Otherwise if a conflict arises,the two can break up and conflicts can arise.

i would never marry someone without living with them first. ive known alot of people who changed once they shared a house with the other person.

I lived with my husband before we got married. We were already engaged and it just made more sense. I easily found someone to take over my apartment lease, and I was no longer working. I decided to go back to school so it saved us a lot of money to live together.

Ok in US not ok in Indonesia

hhmm...now i don't know how to react to this.. especially i am in this thing in my life right now.. i used to believe it as a sin but i agree to some of the people here that it's really up to you...they say it's good to have a "test marriage" first before marrying to see if your relationship works..
