marriage is a sacred act. It may be the same living togather with or without marriagae as far as living is concerned.But living togather with marriage has a sanctity to it. Not that u may not havae misunderstanding . Misunderstandin is bound to come between partners with or without marriage. But when u are married these misunderstandigs tend to be resolved fast than when it happens without marriage. Because here you haave a sort of bonding which is not ehre if you are living without marriage.With marriage you tnd to get into a sort of contract which is binding on the both of the partners.So it is better to be living with marriage. IT was not for nothing that marriage was formed in the first place. IF all our elders ahd thought that marriage was not neccassary than what would the world have come to today.

For the couples who live together, it's actually a good way to determine if the person is someone they would want to spend the rest of their lives with. Living with someone can give you a view of what they would be like as a husband or wife.

But don't you think that couples who are married will try to work through their problems more? Because if they aren't married they always have the option of just getting up and leaving at anytime.

My hubby and I lived together for almost 10 years before we got married. Mostly it was because I could never find the time and energy it took to plan a wedding. lol I don't think it is probably the correct way to do things but it worked for us.

marriage bonds 2 ppl together..no matter wat ever happens they dont leave each other and the socitey accepts them as husband and wife... if they stay togather without marrige then one of the parnet can leave the other at any moment and she/he is not responsible for the ruined relationship......

I believe most people wont get married because if you've never been married, you cant get divorced. ( divorce seems to be really in nowadays)Its just easier not to be married. Its nice tho to have that label

I did it and I think its the best way to go. This way you know who you are really marrying. There habits and your habits.

I never lived with my husband before we got married and I think that was the greatest decision that we ever made. I think that it akes your relationship a lot strong if you make a commitment to each other before you live togather
