Nowadays, marrying a person in church or either in Civil is the least thing that a couple think.Maybe because of the economy and their stability to raise a good family of their own. But when my class has tackled courtship and marriage.. I was shocked by the answers of my students that they are not bothered if they will get into it first before marrying the person they want to be with.
We all know that divorce is all around the place now because mostly of the couples now realized that the person they have married for a long time is now a stranger whom they married before with a different views in life...I'm a liberated woman but in this case.. I've just stunned by them...

In my opinion, I call it trial marriage. Eventually it will be up to both partners if it benefits them. They should not be judged,as long as they are of legal age nothing is wrong about it. I think we should respect their decision.

Any advantages about live-in only applies to those who doesn't believed in marriage.
They can always say that living in have this and those advantages..but no,there is no advantage..(maybe for the guys,as nothing they will ever lose after the beak-up)
Thu I know few couples who are never married and are living as couples for many years and happily together with their kids as well.
have a good day

I am a gut but I don't believe on live-in's. Couples should be married by law and/or by their religion before acting as true couples (therefore living in one house). Marriage is a sacred ritual that should be performed in order to bless the union of two persons. Advantage of live-in? None. The guy can be called free and have less responsibility because of the informality of their staying together but that can not be called an advantage. Guys who neglects their responsibilities after having a "so-called wife" and children on that same girl is a shame to the community. Furthermore, the girl will be more vulnerable in this kind of set-up for she can be left out anytime by the guy because she doesn't have ties with him. That's also the reason why I do not agree with the legalizing of divorce. It only makes separation between couples so easy. I think couples should only tie up with each other if they really love one another.
