    In some cases its good because it gives a chance to understand both which is not possible after marriage.

    Depends on the culture of the couple. There are some who aren't accepting this kind of ways in there culture so most couples don't actually consider doing it so. However, this couldn't be an issue to most liberated countries.

    I agree. It's better if you move in together in a place when both of you can call your own.

    Yea it is, you want to see how she lives before you tie the knot... Once you marry her and move in together and you find qualms over how each of you live, that's where the trouble starts..

    it really depends on both partners. if you truly love another then i think it's ok.

    I'm pretty supportive of living with someone, if the decision derives from a discussion about you two wanting to make a life together.

    But, it bugs me that men think of it as a way to find out if you truly want to marry the girl - ummm, shouldn't you have decided that prior to co-mingling your dirty socks with hers?

    The same goes for girls though. I wanted to live with my partner before committing to marriage; I loved him madly but without spending day in day out with someone you can't truly know them as a person. You need to see them at their best and worst, how they are with their family, their friends, etc.

    welll! Couples who live together before they get married are less likely to stay married, a new study has found.

    It shouldn't even be deemed wrong to live together before marriage. How then will you get to know your partner firsthand (who you want to spend the rest of your life with!)? Some cultures consider it as fornication. Well, that is their business. I would rather live with my wife-to-be to know if I can truly marry her.

    Sometimes people also want to put off marriage until they have their perfect job or more money or whatever; should two people in love live apart for years just due to a piece of paper? I think not.

    I'll likely marry my partner near the end of this year, we have lived together for 4 years and all is well - we already act like a married couple IMHO and I see no issue with it. It would have sucked to live apart these last few years :)
