Whats your opinion on living with your significant other before your married... or even engaged!
I think that it is a good thing, especially with todays society. In my opinion, it will give people the oppurtunity to see if they truely love eachother. It might even LOWER the divorce rates!!!
Whats your opinion??

I totally agree living together is a good thing before marriage..
I lived with my husband a good 2 years before we actually got married..
Some may say it takes away something special when you live together first but for us it didnt...Although we "lived" together, the special thing we did when we got married was buy a house together..
So the apartment living was sort of this trial run lol...
And buying the house was the exciting part after our marriage..

This is what my boyfriend and I are doing. What I don't like about it though... is the fact that marriage represents a new start with someone special. Whats the point of marriage once your already living with them other than to have it in writing? Well nevertheless... I totally can't wait to get married because I plan to spend MORE on my HONEYMOON than the WEDDING!!!

I think living together before marriage is a good thing. The reason for me thinking it is a good idea is so that you know wether or not you can live together. My dad alwaysed said you may love the person but sometimes you are not meant to be and the only way to be sure is to live together to figure that out. A previous relationship I was in got worse when we lived together but other wise was good when we lived seperstley. Now the person I got married to, I get along with great and we did live together before we got married. I think that when we got married our relationship was solid because we lived together and we knew what each of us was like around each other all the time under one roof. So I belive it is a good idea to live together because it will give you an idea of how it will be like to live with someone for life or for many years.

I don't know exactly how it will be living together before marriage. Because it is not there much in India.
But Can you understand your would be life partner fully. What I feel is a man will be diferent after marriage than what he is before marriage.

I think it's a great idea. My fiance is a US Marine and has been gone for 4 years. Only coming home for a week or two, a few times a year. He'll be getting out this summer and when he does, we're going to move in together. Our wedding will be about a year away at that point. We want that time to grow together and just spend together. We think it's so important. I think if more people lived together before getting married, it would lower the divorce rate as well.

I dont think its a good idea, its also against nature. We can make more Love confidence and more pure romance after the marriage. it is proved, but living together before marriage could harm your life.

When I was a college student, my professor told us that sleeping a night in the house you wanted to buy. It is easily to see that marriage is much more important than buying a house. So living together with your partner before getting married is a good way to know each other. It is better than a rush-marriage. And in fact, more than half couples lived together before they got married.

I agree with you on that subject. I think living together before marraige is a good idea. It lets the couple be with each other more than usual, and find out more about them. So it will either make them love each other more or like them less but at least they will know before they actually live together after marraige!
