If you and your fiance both know marriage is on the horizon, is it alright to live together? Do you think it helps to see what married life is like? Yes/No and why?

FH and I live together and moved in 4-months after meeting each other.
To each it's own, but I would recommend it. I think you truly know a person, when you live with them. Habits, mood swings, compromise, etc.. It all comes together.

I agree. To each their own of course....I would much rather save some money and be at home....
But moving in together was the best decision we made. I recommend it.

I totally agree!!! We moved in together a year after we started dating and it's the best thing! I want to marry him even more.. he's a NEAT FREAK!!! But seriously I highly recommend it! You really get to know each others good/bad habits and all.

I don't think there is anything wrong with living with FH before. I currenlty live my parents and he lived on his own.

We live together now. I did not live with my first husband before marriage. I highly recommend it.

Right now we are starting to look for a house. If we can find something that we can move into before the wedding we will.

FH and I have been living together for about a year and a half now and it definitely opens your eyes. I now how much of a slob he is and how hard I am to live with...
but, what i can say it that it has deepened and strengthened our relationship.

Re: Living together b4 Marriage
I don't think there is anything wrong with living together before marriage, but FH and I currently don't live together. We both live at home with our parents. I am very traditional, so I personally do not want to live together before plus it is saving us a ton of money! But like I said, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. FH and I have been together for 6 years and have been on vacations together, he has spent time over my house when my parents were away and vice versa, plus we are together pratically ALL the time since we live 5 minutes away from each other so I know all of this habits by now!!

Re: Living together b4 Marriage
We have lived together for 3 years now...been together almost 5. When we first moved in it was an 'adjustment' period..we have a small house and both work from home. I tell everyone to be prepared for the first month to stink... haha...not the romantic bliss you always dreamed of, because it is real life...laundry, dishes, cooking & cleaning the little things you each do that annoy the other. But after that it's great to always have your best friend right there and you realize the toothpaste all over the sink is worth it!
It's really a personal choice and what works better for you as a couple. i had a friend ho recently called off his wedding after moving in together...and they had been dating for about 5 years before that...so who knows?

Re: Living together b4 Marriage
we are living together now and have been for 3 1/2 years. I know the church says no but now a days I think it is good because you get to learn about each other and learn how to cope with ine another, what buttons to press or not. I feel moving in together right after getting married is hard because you need to adjust to each other and being married at the same time. I feel our relationship won't change too much since we have been living together for a while.

Re: Living together b4 Marriage
i can def. see both sides to the argument. for me personally i am waiting to move in. i was always raised that you dont move in until after marriage and getting married is not just a paper. its a new beginning to your life and blah blah blah. at the same time it would be nice to be settled and know what living together is like before. in some ways it will be an added stress (but also a wonderful thing) for us. yet in a lot of ways i don need to know how we will be when we live together. right now we spend the whole weekend sleeping at one or the others house. he is in bklyn and im on LI so we 'play house' every weekend
