Question

For the couples which do you prefer live-in, civil or marriage?

Answer 1

A civil marriage IS a marriage, but to answer your question, I don't believe in living with someone without a ring.

Answer 2

i think co-habitating is not just that. It usually involves living like husband and wife and taking god's gift to married people without being married. Dont get me wrong, i have done it before, my thing is, I think when someone learns better, they should do better. also, in SOME cases, when you wait too long, when u ARE infact ready to marry, ur partner wld wonder whats the point, cuz by then u r too comfortable like that . My mom always sd when you start wrong you end wrong. i dont know you, but i wish you to be happy.

p.s you dont have to live with someone to know that they are right for you so dont let anyone encourage those thoughts. it seems the norm now cuz everyone is now doing it, the times have changed, but principles will always remain the same. sometimes doing that can even take from the mystery and bliss that causes romance in a relationship. e.g latenight phone calls, falling asleep together one the phone, and the little things that you two wld do that matter when building a relationship. I think you can beat it on your own until yall r ready to marry. wldnt u rather share that joy and excitment of moving in together after your wedding?then even tho the phone call parts are over, you will always have those little memories and remember how u got where u r...

hope my opinion helped you. i sincerely wish u all the best!!!

Answer 3

I met my fiance a year and a half ago.  We are living together and getting married Sept 20th.  Yay!!  We are both very excited.  I believe in marriage.  To me it feels more committed than living together.  I figure if I am good enough to live with I should be good enough to marry.  That's just me though.  I am happy and in love and glad to be marrying the man of my dreams.

Answer 4

I've done the live-in thing and now I  am getting married in Sept. to each his/her own

Answer 5

Marriage. Why give someone the illusion without the protection marriage provides?

Answer 6

Marriage...

Answer 7

I'm assuming that by "civil" you mean common-law unions.

Few states recognize this anymore.

It's either marriage or not.

Answer 8

Purely from a practicality standpoint, I think it's a good idea to live with the person for at least a few months before you decide to get married. I understand some people may believe this is immoral and/or have religious reasons for opposing premarital cohabitation, but my personal opinion is it's a good idea. You should get to know as much as you possibly can about the person you plan on spending your whole life with. Your whole life is a long, long time.
