Why? Don't answer if its too personal. But I was curious to know why a lot of you don't live with your FH. Is it because of your religion? Money, etc? Here in FL, everyone lives together. Just curious!
I dont do it because I find it offensive to my parents, who dont believe in living together before marriage. Not because of money and not neccessarly religion. I also dont see the need to rush that just yet, I am finishing school so I might as well stay home with mom and dad and save some money...also I want it to be more special when we actually get married and live together.
We have been making our (relatively) long distance relationship work ever since graduating from college and moving home 4 years ago. I made a vow to myself that I would not move in with him until we were engaged. It's just my own personal belief that I didn't want to live with him before I had a solid, reliable commitment from him. We've been engaged for a few months, and living at home has been great-- making the 'saving for a wedding' much more feasible. We'll be moving in together in the late winter, and I can't wait!!

well im not going to lie its definately for money reasons but its also because I dont know I may be following the 'traditional'route in the sense that after marriage we live together- i dunno? but i cant wait until we do live together!
FH and I are really involved in our church and I am religious and my parents are as well. None of my sisters lived with FH before they got married so there was no way I was going to. FH's parents are also religious so it just works for us. Everyone always tells me you should live with the person first but I think that is what will make the marriage so much more special for us. We will both learn together all our flaws.

My parents are very old fashioned and would never allow it. And anyway, I didn't want to do it because I didn't want to get to comfortable and never take the next step.
I dont because of my faith. I dont believe in living together before marriage. That is me though. I think it will be just that more special then.
We don't live together because first and foremost, my parents are against it. We also can't move into our apartment because it's in my grandparent's house and they are also against it. But we also don't live together because of the whole money issue- we want to save money while we can.

don't live together to save $$ for the wedding. plus we both kind of want that HM phase after the wedding of moving in together for the first time. (silly i know--but that's us!)
