which do your prefer?

Oh there is absolutley NO WAY I would get married to someone without living with them first....I'm a very difficult person to live with and to be with actually since I'm far from your standard type person so living together is a must for me..

im open minded about living in together....to know your partner better.

Either or. I probably say this because my partner and I sort of, well pretty much have experienced living together. We've spent two years at college practically living together, and about a year doing so as she spent all of her time in my room. The next two years will be spent living together in a dorm room so we've pretty much already done that. Living together before marriage I think is nice and definitely will make the whole marriage thing a lot better, especially after the honeymoon, because you're already lived together and you can experience newlywed bliss much longer than a couple that has never lived together.

I think living with your partner fist is a great idea. You don't really know someone until you live with them. I lived with my now husband for six years before we got married. I think everyone should know what they are getting into before marriage.

I preferred to get married first of course,before living together as one. You don't have to get in a hurry to get married when having a relationship,took your time to know him/her better before you decide. I can't imagine myself living with the guy without having blessed by God and my family. And i don't even agree with having a divorce or annullment.

live in. I dont want to get married and when I find out that we are not compatible then we'll get a divorce or something. Living together will help me to know more about him. assess his attitude and see if we can be together or not :)

I am a classic (traditional) gal. I will never sleep with anyone until we get marry. And I won't get marry until I know that person inside and out. I know in today world, lots of people living together without marriage. But I am not going to be like that. That's just wrong. Well... call me old fashion. I am taught that way.

Uhm, I'd go for the get married instantly thing. But of course I'll make sure that I really love the person and I know him inside and out before we get married.
