Ideally live in before marriage. that way you can find out what your compatibility is with the person - lots of times it happens that even if you love someone you cant stay with them because of their habits. You have to stay together, know each other's quirks and cleanliness habit before you can go ahead and make the decision to get married.

I am kinda old fashioned ..marry first and live ever after..yes because being an indian i just can't digest the fact of live in relationships. I know we are living in a progressive society but there is always that"but"

Live........please live your life before you get married, because after marriage your life is no more yours, you are burdened with responsibities and duties, you have to think ten times, if things which are good for you are also good for your family or not. If you have already lived your life then you don't mind doing some sacrifices. But if you did not do anything before marriage, then forget about it.Whole life you will live with a sad feeling, that why din't you do this and that before you got into marriage. My advise to all young people is, not to hurry for marriage....live you life, it makes you more matured and patient. A matured marriage relationship lasts forever, while an unsatisfied and immature marriage has fear of breaking relationship. I personally feel that every person who is born, should have some time for himself\herself, before he\she falls into social bondages which are backed by laws of society.

ammm I think that Marriage should be done first because in my culture it is not good that you and the person you going to marry should live together and they have a lot of good reasons. If a person lives together definitely he/she shares bed along but here bed is shared after marriage. when a person shares bed before marriage he/she looses interest in a partner and they starts fighting on small reasons. well in arrange marriage these sort of things doesn't happens. I thik this way. do share your ideas with me.

according to my opinion first live the life smoothly and happily and then get married for the rest of the life and it will carry you and your work forward. First enjoy the life and then have the burden of wifes and childrens.

I would rather live with someone first. I know what it's like to end up with someone who turns out to be nothing like they were when we were dating. The only way to know what you're really getting into with a partner is to see what they look like and how they act first thing in the morning. Or see how they act when the dog poops on the floor. All these things are very important because if you get married first, then you're just stuck with them, unless you go through the dreaded divorce.

you should fall inlove before marriage because the world is changing and you should know about like and dislike of your partner foer a happier marriage life.

I think living together first will allow the couple to see if they can really tolerate living together. I know my "hubby" and I live together and we are not married. But I guess it really depends on the couples views on this in the end.

I think a person should live together before they get married just because there are so many people getting divorces now of days because they didn't really know each well enough , you never really know what a person is like until you live with them .
