I think it is a personal decision between two adults -- they are responsible for themselves.

This question has been asked many times before on SH. Living to gether for a short time b4 marriage allows you to see each others faults ahead of time possibly giving you a wake up call b4 tieing the knot.

I think it helps determine if getting Married is a good idea. You want to know if you can stand to live with that person BEFORE you tie the knot- right?

Congratulations to them and isn't she the lucky lady ? I think living together is a good
choice because it's important to test the waters before you dive into a marriage.
It gives you the chance to see you if you are truly compatible with your partner and if
you can find true happiness together. Also the divorce rates would be way lower !

Shacking up isn't right. If you want to live together, get married.

I know this has nothing to do with the Question but I can not stand Ryan Reynolds. It is like he plays every other character like Van Wilder. When he played Deadpool it was Van Wilder with a sword , when he played Hannibal King it was Van Wilder that messed up the last Blade movie , When he played Hal Jordan it was Van Wilder with costume jewelry .

There is a saying like this "Only one himself knows if the shoes match his feet or not"。If you really love her /him, race, color or age. ain't nothing but a number for these loved-up A-Listers. My BF and I both think so! He is a banker .We met via _________Blackwhiteplanet,,C0... a nice place for women and men who have much money, Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is in your group? If u are really interested in it, maybe u wanna check it out or tell your friends.

Imo not living together before marriage is a big mistake. Then again to me marriage is a mistake. Love doesn't require a license. If a marriage doesn't work out an amicable divorce is simple. Why bother with marriage.

I hope its OK, as I have been doing it with a lovely woman now for thirteen years. Was married previously, and we were wed before the big move. Well, if you were paying attention, you know how that went, right?...Just a thought...

It's not that I'm like super traditional or anything, far from it. The only reason why I would say no is because if you break up, it will be pretty awkward Packing your stuff up and all (IMO), but then again you would be Placed in the same situation if you were getting divorced too. I just think it would be saving more heartbreak

I would think you'd want to learn what it's like to live with the person you love, if you get along or not and if things go smoothly. Don't want to just jump the gun, get married and move in together and end up finding out that it was a huge mistake.

ok? It's a prerequisite. Those divorce rates aren't going to down themselves.

In college i had a math teacher that looked like a skinny colonel sanders. He uttered the smartest sentence i've ever heard.

While discussing his 3 divorces with us one day, he said:
"No couple should ever be granted a marriage licence until they've remodeled a small bathroom together, in one sitting, without either party leaving the other alone for more than 3 minutes."

I think you should live together at least a few months before you consider getting married. Moving in together is a big commitment but marriage is an even bigger one.
