Which is best ? Live together without marriage or marriage first before...

living together ? From what is happening in the world today, I can see that the foundation of marriage is not that strong anymore compared many years before. Maybe it's because more and more women are well educated and can support themselves or maybe because of philandering husbands. Sometimes I can say that maybe it's better to just live together and not get married yet coz if something goes wrong, if the husband cheats, it would be easier on both parties... not going through the painfull process of divorce or annulment.

if stayed alone without getting married means the liberty to walk from th relation any time, but if the couple is married than before leaving or quitting the relation the person who wants to quit would atleast once give it a thought and may not leave the relation but would try and handle the situation. i donot believe in live in relation or staying without getting married.

It is not good to live without the blessing of Our God.It is still good to be married and to have foundation so that the philandering husband would have think things over and over.It is love to forgive and it should be done unconditionally

I think dating for a long time and taking a good, objective look at your partner is a superior choice to living together before marriage. I was given what I believe was great advice. Look at this guy as if he were dating your sister or best friend. How would you advise her? Sometimes taking ourselves out of the situation and looking in is what is needed, but we tend to want to plunge ourselves in deeper instead...
