Of course, what if they're a total slob, or its a good idea to see if you can handle being around each other for long periods of time, and seeing how you work together to provide for each other to live, if a girl refuses to move in after dating for a while I assume she's just really not into me or hiding something
Statistically you’re much more likely to end in divorce if you move out prior to marriage. It makes sense to test the waters at surface level, but it brings for more issues than you’d think.
Yes definitely I recommend it because you get a taste of who you're going to marry before what used to be a sacred vow and now is a piece of paper that says share stuff.
That's what an Engagement is for. There are no rules for the length of an engagement but it gives you the means to get to know your prospective mate. If you don't know them after a year you are probably not interested in marriage, only the sex.
Yes. You need to learn how you sync with someone before marrying them. Does he clean the kitchen timely? Does he leave a mess with the toothpaste. My wife didn’t learn until it was too late. Now she’s mine…
The saying rings true you never get to know someone until you live with them.. That's why they feel that way and that's why they won't marry you unless you live with them 1st
But I'm not just taking about sex I'm talking about really getting to know a person and you can only do that by spending time with them and living together you're spending all your time together
The truth is, you don’t really know someone until you live with them. I’m not telling you you’re wrong in your preference or anything. But it really is the best test for compatibility.
A person is not a car. Hopefully you would hold on to a person when things weren't going the way you expected, or would you just trade her in for a newer (younger) model?
yes i do. its practical and saves money and gets you familiar with eachother. just be realistic and don't expect anything to "change" when marriage comes because it won't

If you look like the couple in the picture... no. Something is really odd about them.
Yeah, you should. This reveals a true sight on how you get along running a household. Some couples break up during this period because the change is too much for the relationship.

It is detrimental to live together, cohabit, before marriage. It increases the likelihood of divorce later.
Take the time before marriage to get to know each other, and yourselves my with a clear head.

Yep, dating someone and living together are 2 different things that need work
I do. I think it's important to know what the person is like all the time, I guess just staying with them for period of time would work too.
Yes definitely I recommend it because you get a taste of who you're going to marry before what used to be a sacred vow and now is a piece of paper that says share stuff.
I wouldn’t even consider it without living together for a while. Need to know exactly what you’re getting into

Is the the kind of person you want, one who makes ultimatums? Sounds like they are already trying to dominate the relationship.
So do you think its bad to get to know the person want to spend the rest of your life with
Not at all. But having sex is not getting to know them except how they are in bed.
But I'm not just taking about sex I'm talking about really getting to know a person and you can only do that by spending time with them and living together you're spending all your time together

Absolutely, it is a long term commitment, would you buy a car without test driving it first?

Why not? Women do it all the time. what’s ok for women to do is ok for men to do.
You are putting all women into one basket. Neither all men nor all women are like that.
It's fun. You get to see what you're really in for.
We almost did. We were usually overnighting at my place or his unless one of us was on the road. (We're musicians.)
Have you settled down yet?
Yes. We celebrated out tenth anniversary this past spring.
Thumbs up to you. Most marriages crap out within the first 5 years. So far your batting 1,000.
No. You shouldn’t have sex outside marriage.
That's the way it's supposed to be anyway.
But what if you got married and ended up up not being able to live with them, then what?
That usually won't happen unless you just got to jump into marriage because you want sex. News flash! Marriage is much more than sex.
I understand, marriage should be for life. But it's too bad there are so many divorces these days.
That is because people get together for sex, not for love and a person's charming personality. When sex gets old so does the marriage.
I would only get married for love, not sex.
yes i do. its practical and saves money and gets you familiar with eachother. just be realistic and don't expect anything to "change" when marriage comes because it won't

What do you have against Barbie?
I kinda think it’s best to live separate, have not been with anyone for a long time that I would not fight like cats and dogs with.
Yeah, you should. This reveals a true sight on how you get along running a household. Some couples break up during this period because the change is too much for the relationship.
We kinda almost did. We spent just about every night together.
That's not living together, that's a booty call.
