Who stays together longer?

It's depand on other factor, if it is not a true love,then what you say is true, they will get boring each other. True love is not like that, they will not get bore each other. Even if they have lot of problem they still together. Don't always believe in statistic. It is not true. If you planing to stay together before married, that is nice and good your decision. It is time to get expirence before get married.

I would expect the opposite to be true. if you live with someone, you know what they are like to live with. I can't understand why anyone would marry someone without living with them first.

I have also heard that statistic many times. I took lots of family studies classes in college and I remember that statistically, people who live together before marriage actually are twice as likely to get a divorce, and that actually fifty percent of people who live together before getting married end up divorced. I know a lot of people think living together first is a good idea so you can get to know each other and stuff, but to be honest, almost everyone I know who lived together first (cousins and a few friends) were divorced within 5 years, and once is in the process of divorce. I'm sure it depends a lot on the individual couple too, but my husband and I chose to not live together first. My husband was married once before and lived with his ex wife before getting married. We are still very happily married and glad about our decision. :)

My personal opinion I think living together first then getting married you last longer. You never truly know someone til you have to live with them. I have had a few different experiences. They were great til I moved in then they changed. It doesnt only happen with bf/gfs either I have it happen with really close friends as well.

I am sure I heard that people who live together first and then get married are more likely to stay married than those who don't live together first. It seems logical, if you marry someone you have already lived with, you know what to expect from your longterm relationship. You would not marry your partner if you knew you could not live with them longterm.

I persnonally think that if you live together first you marriage will last. See if you live together first you can see the other persons habits and you learn to tolerate them or you can break up with them before the wedding if you can't. Its a chance to get to know the real person instead of jumping in with your eyes closed

I was engaged to my highschool boyfriend. He and I moved in with 2 friends to share a house right after we graduated. After living together a few weeks, we quickly discovered that we couldn't live together. If we had gotten married first, we probably would have got divorced. I however ended up with one of the other roommates. We had been spending time together before I moved in as friends and after I moved in we started to have feelings for each other. We lived together for 2 years before we got married. This July we will be married for 7 years. And we have 3 beautiful kids together. My vote would be for living together first. That way you know you are compatible to live together before you make that huge commitment. But i'm sure plenty of marriages survive with not living together first also.

I think the reason why people who move in together before marriage may not last as long in a relationship, is because when living together, they realize that they are just not compatible enough. I know for me, I would insist on living with a partner before marriage. Marriage is a massive commitment, and I wouldn't want to jump into that without knowing what I was jumping into. What might change those statistics, would be to add a section asking how many of the people who moved in together after marriage are still happy after so many months or years. lol. I would bet that a lot would say no, and that they wished they have moved in with their spouse beforehand, because then they would have known what they were getting.

I don't like arguing with science so I believe if the statistics are carried out by a reputable honest person then this is the case. But logically, i expect people who have lived together before marriage to stay together longer coz they have a clue on each others weaknesses.
