Why Living Together Before Marriage is Important (Page 2)

[autoli]

So, you're living with a guy, you're probably cooking for him under the same roof, and constantly hanging out. At what point does he decide to just never get married?

[admles]

My parents never lived together before marriage, and have been married 41 years.

Um living together before marriage isn't NEEDED, belive it or not. Sure you get closer but whats wrong with waiting until you're married.

[Clo917]

Preach. Very well said, I'm with you completely. I'd never get married to someone without living with them for at least a year or two.

[Iron_Man]

I don't think it's important to live together I think you should live together after. My girlfriend lived in my house but she had her own separate bedroom back then

[Lance1965]

I think couples should live together for at least an full year before even thinking about marriage. People always seem different once you are living with them.

I completely agree with manaX :)
If I arrived at this question before her, I would have written the same thoughts if not the same words.

When you live together you find out that she farts a lot more than when you were dating and that's how relationships end badly.

I lived with my ex-wife before we got married. Didn't help. Of course every person and every couple is/are different.

[jss123]

I fully agree. I married my best friend. We'd been best friends for 13 years. When I moved in I realised she's a monster. Narcissistic and very abusive.. I wish we has lived together first..

[Awsomedudever]

Good advice you tell them man. My buddy is now in a messy divorce because apparently the money is never enough for his gold digger wife. And she doesn't work all survived did was complaining about not owning the latest BMW or design fashion shit house. Yeah I get scare of woman sometimes they expect more.

Couples who live together before marriage have a divorce rate 37% higher than couples who don't.

I don't know, might scene like a dick move on my part, but I wouldn't drive a car without test driving it first... Just sayin

[Golden-Thread]

Try not to have sex then it'll be fine. Or try to get married for a year or as long as ur living together needs.

[clampfan101]

I can see how it would be useful, but still overall disagree.

This article in a nutshell.

[HeyThere94]

Living with someone else is hard

So you must learn to live with them before making a huge commitment

[RebeccaSJ]

We didn't. But unless one of us was on the road, we pretty much spent every night either at his place or mine.

[Butternuts]

It makes sense to move in together first so you find out if you can stand living together.

[Kemil_Zhoki]

Replace "before" with "instead of" and I agree completely.

[TonyMetal86]

I'm against cohabitation, period!

[Ellie-V]

Why?

[TonyMetal86]

@Ellie-V because what's the use or beauty of marriage if she's going to live with me under the same roof and does everything with me without marriage, a wife is a wife but before marriage how come sleeping with a girl and making sex with her is right, who is she? My girlfriend, no thanks!
