Did you live with your DH before you were Married?
....and if so, for how long.
Right after we got engaged I moved in with him. We were married a year later.

We got engaged in August of 2006, moved in together in November, and got married in February, 2007. So, engaged, lived together for 3 months, got married.

Yep, I moved in August of 2006, and we got engaged about a month later. So we lived together about a year before we were married.

Nope. I moved in to DH's condo the day we got married :)
It so amazing to live with DH and I love that we didn't live together before the wedding - the wedding and moving in.....it made it so special for us. And surprisingly, we've had zero arguments so far! He's not crazy about me leaving my hair in the drain and i'm not crazy about him leaving the toilet seat up but that's the only thing we've mentioned to each other!
he tries so hard to make sure i'm comfortable He even made the utility room in my WALK IN CLOSET! He's amazing!!!

Yes, sometimes I wish we hadn't...it would've made saving money easier (Had we put all those months of rent into a high interest CD- we could have a pretty decent downpayment by now!!) and I think it would've made getting married more special.
We've lived together since April of 2005.

Yep, We basically lived together 5 months after being together, got our own place and have been living together ever since, going on 4 years.

I am so glad we did. It was never difficult, but we did agrue over petty things here and there. I think it would have been a lot harder if we didnt live we each other first. Now we're so comfortable with everything..its wonderful.

Yes. We moved in together after about 10 months dating. We lived together for another 1 5 years before we got engaged and then got married after 10 month. So we got married 3 weeks before our 3 years anneversary!

Re: Did you live with your DH before you were Married?
yea, we lived together for about 1 year (maybe a little more) before we got engaged. It was a great decision for us though. Living with anyone is tough & I'm glad we made the decision to do it before. And it all worked out in the end. but I think its also a really nice experience for the people that wait (but it wasn't for us...DH & I are too stubborn )

Re: Did you live with your DH before you were Married?
Technically yes we did live together we were in the same house but it was my parents house. We originally came back to NY to visit with my parents on a 10 day vacation but we never left. So we lived with them for 7 months. Dh and I had separate rooms. We moved into a apartment after the wedding and just recently moved into our home.
I am glad we waited it was so exciting to be married and finally living with my husband

Hehehe. We both really wanted to live together before the wedding but we resisted and I'm so happy that we did. I've gotta tell ya - I'll never forget how I felt when i rolled over and looked at my HUSBAND for the very first time! Amazing feeling

Re: Did you live with your DH before you were Married?
lol KINDA. 'Living separately in the same house' is what i like to call it....to make a really long complicated story short, DH & his mom had a huge falling out & he had no where else to really go...so he moved in with me & my mom(in my moms place). We had separate bedrooms and everything!(being that i come from a pretty traditional & conservative home..this meant we'd say goodnight to each other & head to our different rooms lol)....needless to say we were VERY happy to come home to our own place the day after the wedding...and it was awesome to wake up next to my 'husband' for the first time but i'm glad it was that way - 'cause it made REALLY getting our own place super special, but at the same time we were sorta used to each others quirks & habits already.... and DH & his mom have a WAY better relationship since he got out of that house!
