Live in live out

[Auset]

I think people should live together before marrige because they need to know each others living habits because that can be a big downfall in a marriage.

I think u should live together before marriage and to sure that person u are marrying is the right thing to do and so what kind of habits they have for u can make adjustments as need be

I'm going through that right now. I moved in with my man. It's nice, but a lot comes along with the territory. We are going through something right now. So I moved my stuff out, but I still have the key. It takes a lot to get used to. We just have some issues we have to work out regarding the kids and how everything is going to be run once we are married in July. I think the whole situation is a lesson and I have learned from it. Moving in was the right thing to do. This way, you can see what you are getting in to. After I moved out, I started missing everything I had there. I look at it as being a test to see if we can get through tough times. I think we are handling it very well, and I am looking forward to moving back in next year.

whew.. that's an issue i still have undecided... they say, "you never really know someone until you live with them".. because that's when one discovers the other's true living habbits/twirks... cosigning with Auset completely


then the other flip to the coin, is... if you are already in a relationship with the individual.. and you move in with him and everything.. then it's as if you are already married with them anyways and that's where you will find those relationships that go a long time never saying "I do" because it's as if it was done already... from what i was told.

i haven't grasped my opinion on that yet.. i'm more for "yes" than "no".

Been there done that, would do it again, and recommend it to anyone! My fiancé and I lived together for almost two years and it was a great experience. It taught us that we could live happily together as long as we are considerate and able to compromise sometimes. I found out he is a neat freak and he knows I’m a pack rat so our compromise is; If he wants a clean house he needs to clean up my stuff otherwise wait until I get a chance to clean it myself! (LOL) Be really it helps you find out about a person, being around them so much leaves very little for them to hide. I never knew how sensitive he was until we lived together. After a phone call from his mother he has this really sad/hurt look on his face (because of her lack of interest in his life and what is going on with him). We were together over a year before I moved in and I had no idea about the real relationship he has with is mom. He is not the type to voice any negative feelings about the ones he loves but I was there to experience that look and then we were able to talk more openly about his feelings. This type of thing happened a lot, I was able to see how truly misunderstood my fiancé is even by me. I don’t think I could love him as deeply as I do now if I never had the opportunity to really know him. Living together helped us grow together in our relationship and in ourselves. I was a lot younger (mentally) before the experience “ When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a woman, I put away childish things.” You know…

I don't think so but I mean it's truly to each their own. People are going to do what they want to do when they want to do it. It's life.

My paternal Granfather says he wont agree to no wedding unless the couple in question live together for at least 6mths!!! He is very liberal like that, and so far in my family we have seen the benefits to this taking place.

My views on living together before marraige, is still no at present, but we shall see.

I'm not sure for some it may work and for others it may not. I guess every situation is different.
