Couples living together before marriage: Wrong or Right?

[eLdavis]

When it comes to the issue of couples living together before marriage, do you think it is wrong, or are you okay with it?
Most might argue that as long as they would be getting married in the end, there is nothing wrong with them staying together, while others might say it is morally wrong..

Everything thing is right which ends well. I am not against the live-in relationship unless the end converts in to marriage. I am not orthodox but this is what I feel.

Yes i get your point, but unfortunately majority of them who do this in my country don't lead to marriage, this is why so many people are against it, and my country can be pretty religious when it suits them.

I support spending enough time with your significant other before getting married to them, but that does not involve sleeping over. There are some things that will happen that are not supposed to.

Well, you can call me conservative but I believe you shouldn't live together until you are married. Marriage is also about loyalty and commitment. How can you expect loyalty and how can you be committed if there is nothing to bind you. relationship outside the context of marriage are very fragile.

I'm kinda in-between with this. On one hand, if you want a more traditional viewpoint, no, you shouldn't live together before marriage, but on the other hand, living together before marriage if you're close enough is a great way to get a feel of what marriage & therefore life, would be like with that person before the commitment.

Even I also come from a conversative family and we cannot expect a girl living in a live-in relationship. If you want to date a person then it's not necessary to live with him, you can spend time with him. I have seen many cases where the couple doesn't get married even after living together for years and feel like being duped in those years.

I don't see any issue with couples living together before marriage. I feel it is a great way to adjust to life being togethe and living together as a married couple.

Some people are a lot different through and have different traditions.

Exactly, and this is even the worse part about the whole thing. Living together for years but no marriage.

Living together before marriage is one of those topics that has sparked different opinions. For me, it depend on the decisions of the couple. If living together would help them understand each other better before getting into the marriage proper, then it could be a good thing. But others religious beliefs see it as something wrong.

There is a greater chance they will have sex and that's not right for many people. My husband and I stayed in different places. I stayed with his sister and he stayed with his parents.

Someone will get the pitchforks out but I've been in a same aex relationship for the past nine years. We have both decided we aren't going to get married so we live together and have done so for almost the whole time

And that's fine, no pitchforks from me.
