it depends on your view in life, if you are talking the spiritual aspect of it, of course its wrong and not acceptable...but if you are not that kind of person, you can view it as something that will test if he/she is the right one for you...being gf/bf alone is not a guarantee that you will work out after marriage, so in this case the live-in will serve as a test for both of you if you want to give marriage a shot...

I am not quite sure what you are saying by your statement. Are you talking about relationships with a person in an intimate manner without marriage? Or are you talking about living with a person before marriage? To try and cover both, I'd say that as long as you are happy and content it shouldn't matter to anyone else around you.

Here in Canada that is called a "Common-Law" Relationship. After 6 mos living together, you are entitled to half of each other's stuff. Most importantly everything that was acquired during the union is considered jointly owned. And unless you have one sign a PreNuptial Agreement prior to the arrangement, everything you had prior to the relationship, but brought with you, is also subject to being split in half when you split up. Even after signing a PreNup, a judge could order one to pay the other some proceeds or even financial support just as if you were married. So, yes, it is cheaper to start a relationship only living together, without getting married, and a good way to get to know someone better BEFORE getting married, but nowadays it is pretty much considered the same thing. I just saves you all the expense of the wedding.

It is difficult to ascertain what exactly is the point you want to put forward, as the term 'relationship' has a wide meaning. In reality it is very difficult to live without any form of relationship, unless we live alone deep inside a jungle or any other where no other man has set foot. A relationship is contact between at least two individuals. In a society a loner does form a fragile relationship with certain people. For example he or she needs to purchase something for his/her needs. Even if the purchase is made online a relationship has been formed. There are many similar examples which can be given, but I think one should be enough. Intimate relationship is a different matter. There are people who can live happily without being emotionally involved with anyone else. One of them is my second cousin and another is my former college mate. In summary most of us live in at least one form of relationship. all the best, rosdimy

Well if you're talking about living in with a girl without marriage then i support it if both the guy and the girl agree and eventually help each other .I mean its allright for a guy to live in with a girl if you want to give your relationship a chance ..If it doesn't work out ,you're not stuck...there's a way out of it..

Well, here in Canada, once you have lived together in a common-law relationship for 6 mos, your 'spouse' is entitled to half of everything you own, just as if you were married. There's a way out of marriage, too. It's called Divorce and it's legal.
