I got engaged to my ex before we lived together, which in hindsight was a mistake. You can't make a commitment like that until you know what married life is going to be like.

Fussy and I lived together before the question of marriage was even thought of, and it's worked out much better for us. Not only do we love and respect each other, but we can also live together without driving each other crazy. You know you're truly in love when you still want to marry/ be with someone after living with them for years first.

I have to agree with Lou on this. It's better to live with your partner before getting married. It's just much easier if things go sour and you part ways. Less entanglements in the end. My current partner and I are living together and we drive each other nuts all the time, but it's going really well and it couldn't be better.

For my wife and I, it was marriage after three years of dating. We never "lived together first."

Our marriage has been the time for us to really learn about each other and the result, for us, has been to appreciate each other more I think. Just worked out well for us. I know, I wouldn't trade her for the world.

It is shattering to have to back out of a basically flawed marriage.

A couple of months of sin could have saved friends of mine years of heartache.

I belive in marriage first and not "try before you buy", i think if the dating is not short by that i mean less than a year then you should think about marriage, i also belive the commitment to each other is not the same when you live together as you dont have that barrier that marriage puts up and you can just leave when you want

It depends on one's life experiences and beliefs whether or not you should live together prior to marriage, but I think the only true way to get to know eachother is by living with them first.......I lived with someone for eight years and that didn't work out in the end.....but without a marriage license, there was no costly dragged out divorce either which was a blessing in itself.

Remember love is blind and marriage is an eye opener!

Interesting....not having a go at ya beliefs hun.....but

Being married does not stop people leaving when they want to....getting divorced is easy now days (many many do it)...and in my case i am very very committed to Bilbo....he is my soulmate...while i dont actually have the piece of paper...most class us as married and are suprised that we are not *LOL*

If we separate...it would be no different to a married couple...it would be costly and more than likely dragged out....Everything we own was bought while we were together and as such would need to be either sold or divied up...We also have kids which makes it even more messy

So please before ya say that defacto people aren't committed just pause for a sec
