No. If anything it's RIGHT. Why would anyone want to commit the rest of their lives to someone when they don't even know that they can live with them?

I dont believe its wrong. I am glad that my fiance and I have lived together for the past year because now I know what to expect while we live under the same roof.

I certainly hope you are not associate any sort of religious criteria...as it's not a legal requirement and none of any religious organization's concern.

Better than getting married, then divorcing after you find out that you can't live together.

reply
Cookielane 2013/01/12 22:04:45

Yes

People who live together first to try things out are basing the relationship on the possibility of a break-up. Better to go into a relationship with a lifetime commitment; you work harder at the relationship, because it means more.

Heptarch to Cookielane 2013/01/13 13:23:42

People live together before marriage to see if they WANT a lifetime commitment to that person. You can't know for sure what a person is like until you live with them.

I only know my own experience - it actually ruined the marriage. It makes sense if you look at it statistically, though. When I was growing up people hardly ever lived together - it was a big deal when they did. And the divorce rate was pretty low. Nowadays, everybody lives together first, and for those that bother to get married, the divorce rate is off the chart.

reply
Heptarch to Cookielane 2013/01/13 13:59:41

Correlation does not equal causation. Unless you can show direct evidence that living together results in a higher divorce rate, your argument is invalid.

I think it makes more sense to say that back when people weren't living together before marriage, the reason they stayed in their marriages more often was because divorce was socially unacceptable.

People should stay chaste and live together when married.

...they say you don't know someone until you've lived with them or worked with them...why marry a stranger?

I don't want someone living with me if they are not willing to commit.

Moving in with someone is a pretty strong commitment in its own right.

I don't think it is wrong.It is better in my opinion to see if you can live with each others little quirks and best find out first then when it is to late.For me i lived with my husband for a year then married and we have survived pretty good so far : )

I'd like to know what it's like to live with the person before we get married. Settle all the living arrangements before marriage, less fights during marriage.

Living together is a wise decision and it is far better than waking up one day next
to a stranger. It is the only way to truly know someone. I'd rather test the waters first before I dive in and waste so much time and money on a fruitless wedding.
