It's really a big question. I think different people have different options. As for me, I will get married if I have this relationship for at least 1 year and we love each other deeply. It's effected by people's home surroundings and hometown's culture. Because I'm not married, sorry I can't answer other questions. There is a study talking about love and marriage, it's may be useful to your question.Look at this BBC video http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzgyMTYwOTA4.html

There are many reasons why some couples tend delay their marriages. Although reasons may vary since we all have different views about the subject. Some people try to think of practicality. Living in together before marriage helps couples in dealing with their living-in circumstance, it’s somewhat a helpful way to manage how living together as a couple runs before committing in to marriage life. It also helps as a “test run” before you decide to march down the aisle. Another reason why some would opt to not get married yet but lives together is that because of practicality sake. Some wants to save more, before hitting the “i-do” or “will you marry me” scenario. It’s in a way helpful because through time, you are able to acquire all your expenses and your target budget before hitting marriage life. Lastly, while some may go to these reasons, others think that they are not ready yet for marriage life, so they really can’t decide and just wait for the right time will come resulting that they prefer getting married late.

For security purpose marriage is important for life because in our country India not allowed to live together without marriage and I feel this is good rule. Because those persons live together they may leave the spouse any time but after marriage they think 100 times before divorce. Family also support to maintain the strong relations.

Hi friend, Now a days living together is quite common in most of the countries. In fact it is against to the culture of some countries, however youngsters are interested in getting thrills and start their living together activities before marriage. If they are satisfied with their relationship and understand each other with this living together method, they will go for marriage and turn as couples, otherwise they will find another person for their life. There is both pros and cons in this living together method. First of all it is not in the culture of India(my country). We can understand each other easily and know about the interests and hatred of our beloved person while living in the same roof. Some people are very strict and never lose their control even though they are living together and remain to be virgin until the marriage. On the other hand, some people don't have the ability to control their emotions and lost their virginity easily while living in the same roof. There is nothing wrong if they both will end their relationship with marriage, otherwise they are not loyal to their future partner. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong in living together, if we have self control. In fact this method is the best way to check whether our beloved one is a perfect match for us or not. If we find our partner is our perfect match, then end our relationship with marriage, otherwise we can make a good friendship with our living partner. I don't think living together method is the reason for the higher divorce rates. If both the persons have good understanding and trust with each other. This kind of living together method will reduce the divorce percentage a lot after the marriage, if we find our perfect match.

I always wanted to be married and have my own family that will be strong, happy and harmonious. Things changed a bit when I got pregnant and decided not to get married with the father of my daughter because I found out that he's seeing another woman from the office when I was on maternity leave. Then during the times I was depressed because of what happened, I met my present boyfriend who helped me a lot. My parents are against me having another boyfriend and wanted me to break up with him thinking that our relationship is just the same with my past relationships. But I knew this is different. We are fighting for our relationship and is currently living together. This was not part of our plans but I must agree that we feel comfortable having each other around. I would have wanted us to get married but I know that he wants everything to be settled with my parents first before we get married.
