Do you think it's a good idea to live together with a partner before deciding to get married? Why/why not? (Page 3)

Well personally I wanna drive the car before I buy it.

[EmmaMary]

You simply wouldn't buy a new car without test driving it first.

Need to know how they live. I'm not going to marry someone that lives like a pig, and they might not like a clean freak. It also helps you learn and love more about each other

[FunkyMonkee]

If you can live together peacefully for a while, you stand a good chance of having a long-lasting marriage.

I think that if two people want to live together they should do it. If they happen to get married afterwards I guess that is good too.

[Apple1996]

Yess better to live with then before marriage so there are no surprises.

[888theGreat]

Just adultery and a one way ticket to hell

[flirtatiousgirl]

True

[amyisme]

I think so you should see the real person the way they are on good and bad days

[r4nd0mus3r]

so you know what you're getting into before you decide to legally bind yourselves together and spend several years and several dollars together.

[bamesjond0069]

If you're a virgin waiting for marriage. Get married first. Otherwise cohabitate and dont marry. Sad to state but those are about the only good options these days.

[Zolly99999]

I think it should be mandatory!!! You really get to know someone once you live with them. Then you will know for sure if you can be with them long term.

[Paul09]

Yes, yes and yes. Moving in together can make it or break it. Really start to se the true person daily. Imagine you get married move in and a year later want a divorce.

[Razp_Sorbet]

Definitely. Figure out if you work with eachother 24/7.

[Anonymous]

You never really know a person until you live with them.
I’d hate to be legally bound to someone before getting to really know them.

[BlckGrl]

It's a good idea just like you said it's a "sneak peek"

[penteractgaming]

Better to find out you can't stand living with them before the marriage than after.

[Diana79]

Yes cause they ways to move just pick up move. If turns out not into each other. Divorce it takes the courts for that.

[Shamalien]

I trust the old wisdom. I think living with someone requires a deeper commitment

[CuriousMufuxka]

YES! Might as well lock down a home before the guy's gotta give up half when it doesn't work out..

[OddBeMe]

Uhh yeah. I wish they had a study about divorcees and asked if they lived together before…
