What do you think about Live In Relationship

Living in becomes bad if one will just take advantage of the situation. Like cheating his/her partner for the reason that they're just living in and not married. But,if living in means knowing each other with love and honesty i can say it is good for them. I personally knew some couples who stayed in a relationship of living in for years,20 years and yet doesn't plan of marriage (becoz they both don't believe in marriage at all) And yes,they're happily living in together. It is just a matter of mindsetting,acceptance and how do you look at it in contrary with the society's view of living in relationship.

I think it is sensible for a couple to live together in order to get to know the other well. Then he or she will find out the person's good points and bad points. Imagine the man is violent it is better the lady finds out when living with the man than if she gets married straight away. If got married then she might find it harder to get away from him. When a couple are living together if a serious problem arises then it is easy for them to split up. A lady aged 21 years old might move in with her 23 year old boyfriend. They might split up when she is 29 years old. She might move in with a different man when she is 32 years old. After 3 years of living together they might get married thinking they are compatible. Living with the first man might have given the lady experience in a relationship. She might have learned that her next man was ideal for her.

it is better to live with your partner in legal ways like you need to go into marriage before living in. Take time to know each other first before to go at peace they called "marriage" is at peace status of life. When you know that you are compatible to each other then go marry. While there is another way of life, they go first to living without marriage and they experiment if they are compatible with each other then if so settle down. In general it is nice to live in relationship as long as you love each other.

It should not be done! A couple should not have a live in relationship. Its immoral. They can always decide to marry first rather than just have a live in relationship. When we would have kids in the future, we should be able to set an example for them.

Statistics show quite the opposite is true--if a couple lives together, their likelihood of staying married (if they do get married) is reduced. Their likelihood of even getting married is reduced. http://www.leaderu.com/critical/cohabitation-socio.html Begin at page 6 on the following if you do not wish to read the whole article (it is LONG!) http://www.fathersonline.org/resources/21%20Reasons%20Why%20Marriage%20Matters%2030July04.pdf The following is from a Christian, very left wing publication. Towards the end there is a list of 8 reasons to get married rather than cohabit. The article is based on 30 years of study. http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/jon/060207 In simpler language the reasons to get married rather than live together are cited here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090530082435AAQok9r I do hope you take the time to research this before you decide to live with someone. It can save you alot of heartache, money and perhaps even sanity.

For me its okay for a couple to be a live in partner first before marrying. That way it will be easier for them to decide if they want to spend the rest of their lives with each other. But they should make sure they got married before they have a child.
