Re: Living together before Marriage... yes or no? ctrlaltdelete: I am really torn on this subject. Generally I don't believe in living together before marriage, that's just the way I was raised. You either know that person well enough before you make that commmitment or you don't get married.
HOWEVER... (and this is going to sound highly hypocritical) ... I am on the verge of moving in with someone I have been dating for a while. I won't go into the details because my personal life is personal, but I have no regrets or second thoughts about moving in with him at all. Not that I wouldn't marry him, but thanks to our respective divorces we are both reluctant about marriage. This has nothing to do with how I feel about him. As a matter of fact, I love him more than I ever loved my ex-husband.
Now, does this mean I would be okay if my daughters wanted to move in with their respective boyfriends? Absolutely not!! I still don't believe in it even as a "test marriage scenario". See? Hypocritical I know. I'm torn up about the subject but I'm doing what I feel is right for me.

Re: Living together before Marriage... yes or no? katelyn: LOL...
I think there are lots of reasons... but you're right, sex is definately a big one.
Living together before Marriage... yes or no? 2be: How do you all all feel about it? Did you live together before you were married?
I personally think it is a good thing to do but along with that, I think that it needs to be taken seriously and with utmost committment. I wouldn't just casually move in with a woman. So my vote: Yes, but carefully.
Thoughts?
Re: Living together before Marriage... yes or no? nn: Definitely, 100% yes. For years.
