Living together before marriage?

Postby BigBrother on Sat May 23, 2009 11:50 am

It's becoming a norm to do that nowadays. Are you for it or against it?
I don't really like the idea because there's no point in the word marriage if it's supposed to be like this. Although people claim you tend to know if you can live with the other party if you live together before marriage but statistics (will look for the link later) has shown that those who live together before marriage have a higher marriage failure rate. She's free to spend the weekend once in a while but we can't live together till she changes her surname :). What do you think?

i think it's just awuf for the guy..he gets a cook,someone to clean plus sex whenever he whats..
but i wldnt blame him cos what is he to do if some babe packs in esp with the incentives.
the only reason u should be playing house is if it's for real i.e marriage otherwise it gets messy if things dont work out

I see nothing wrong with it. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it, but there is nothing wrong with it. Well, if it causes sepration b4 marriage, then probably u were not meant to get married. If it goes on fine, then all well and good for you.

I strongly disapprove of many things outside of marriage. Living together before marriage is one of those things. I still think of marriage as a situation where two people should share certain things they would not otherwise share. Sleeping together, living together, sharing body and soul should only happen within marriage. This is what will make a marriage special and give it meaning.

I had to give you a thumbs up for that :). I've been trying to understand what gives marriage meaning when pre-marriage and post-marriage lives are totally equal nowadays.

Alas, marriage has lost its meaning for many.

As for me, i think it really depends on the pple involved, bcos i know a couple who were living together for over twenty years, they got married only a couples of years ago, after having all their Kids. So i think it is left to the pple involved, as long as there is a good reason for not getting married immediately, i think it is alright.
Although i don't think i want to do that myself and the bible doesn't support it anyway.

I dont think i can do it.If the guy knows he cant wait for us to get married then he should look for his wife elsewhere.

hi fans my sincere greetings 2 evrybody in d house.Personally I can't do it, but these daz u find out dat it is becoming 2 rampant. a man will import wat i personally refer to as a corporate maid n at the end some of them don't work out. I call it coporate maid cos, u as a woman will take kia of his domestics chores, like cooking his meals doing his laundary and ofcourse doing d servicing. yet most of them end up misbehaving. My pastor once said dat afta makin him have all d above listed free, wat will motivate him 2 go and make d payment. A friend has a contrary view abt wat d pastor said. She said if u don't do it, somebody out there will help u out.she further xplained dat These daz guys don't really need 2 beg 4 ladies 2 move in,they have already made ladies waitin 2 jump in if u can't take kia of ur man.
LUV U ALL.....................
