Do you think couples should live together before getting married?

Why or why not?
 
Do you think couples should live together before getting married?

I think couples should be able to make their own decisions. They're adults. You're an adult. I'm an adult. If you're not religious "Also known as" you're not a Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or affiliated with any other religion etc. Then it doesn't matter. I've seen plenty of Christians get married and divorced. I've seen non religious people get married and divorced.

Use your own judgment and make a decision. Take a leap of faith. Sometimes relationships last for life and sometimes they are short lived. It's one of those things no one can control. It either works and lasts or it fails and you both move on. I do think if you've been with someone for a while who you really care about, you both have a wonderful relationship, and you trust each other. I don't see why not.
 
I say that people should be allowed to do whatever they want so long as no one gets hurt, regardless of what I think about it.

A couple living together or not living together does not affect me or anyone outside of that relationship. It's not my business, it's theirs.

That said for me, personally, I would prefer to live with an S.O before marrying them. Because, like, why not? The companionship is nice and so is getting to know their home life habits.
 
Hell, My grandperesnts never got married and been living together for 23 years. I mean many more people do that and It's all good in fact :)
 
In religion, it's frowned upon. At least it was years ago. I think tho, personally, you get to know someone more living with them. Waking up to morning breath, hair all messed up, & still being loved, there's no better feeling :)
 
I think couples should, living together changes a lot of things and people should know what they are getting into before something big like marriage.
