Cohabitation and Marriage
Hi everyone, I'm looking for a number of distinct opinions on this: Is it a good idea for a couple to cohabitate before marriage, or just get married?

Pro-co I'm very much in favour of co-habitation before marriage - it gives the couple a chance to see if they are able to live well together which is very important. With divorce rates so high in North America, I think that it is important for couples to make sure that they're ready for the commitment of marriage. I have been living common-law for several years now, and that experience has shown us that we're ready to tie the knot, which will happen this summer.

hi there my wife and i lived together for a long time before we got married. i'm not sure it's for everyone, but you do have to live together afterwards (maybe) so why not give it a trial run. i think in cultures where sex before marriage is not a problem, it would be quite common for this to occur. i think its also interesting that we have an increasing minority of couples that, while married, don't live in the same house - Living Alone Together. it's apparently common when people are getting married for a second time, are getting married late, etc. i think relationships are changing alot based on societal and cultural changes in regards to women, working longer, etc. so it will be interesting to see how relationshiops look in a decade. cameron
