Should couples live together before getting married? Why or why not?

I feel it's a good way to learn a lot more about a person than you can by dating or spending occasional nights together. You can learn things like how they handle finances, how willing they are to share in household chores, if they are a slob, how much time they want to spend with you, if they have bad habits like drugs, what kind of temper they have, and more.

Absolutely. Because living with someone is a big difference from just dating. You truly need to make sure your living together will not have conflict.

Definitely, you get to know someone so much better when you live together and that way you figure out if you two can really be together. So you can clearer make the decision for marriage and probably save yourself divorce fees after just a few months lol

[Apple1996]

1000% yes. You don't wanna learn about your partners bad habits too late then be stuck with them

[Guy13]

No that is a load of 💩.

Couples should absolutely live together before getting married. If they can't learn to live together before making the commitment to stay together for life, it's not going to be a great marriage and will more likely end in a quicker divorce.

I actually think it’s a bad idea.. no one’s getting married these days and if you’re already living together, you’re already doing everything a married couple is doing, then some couples except the woman, just doesn’t see the point.

Consenting adults should do whatever works best in their specific circumstances. Whatever they do, be careful about rushing into traditional stuff like marriage that brings all sorts of legal & financial headaches.

[SnowedIn]

I think the answer is "some". Living together isn't going to work for everyone for a variety of reasons in the same way that some probably should.

[Anonymous]

each situation is different... but honestly if you already live with someone, it makes them less likely to get married since you already have everything...

[Nikki1989]

Absolutely. It could be a total disaster if you don't.

[exitseven]

No, lots people have good marriages without living together first.

[MadAndBankrupt]

If you have this mentality, It wouldn’t work anyways because it all stands with how flexible a person is.

[Anonymous]

I'd say yes. Simply because you need to know that you can live together
That you can cope with sharing space, can still behave in a mature manner. Tbh there are many different reasons why they should live together first.

[sheikalana]

I believe so. Either live together or spend vacation together. Is not easy to share the same space with another person.

[Jennz6]

Yes, see if they can live together

[Kelly6]
