  1. Nope.  Not if both people are clear on what they want.  Not to mention living together (and not everybody agrees on this...) is great to do before you get more serious because living with someone is a lot different from just dating them.  


  2. A totaly open question for many answers. Depends upon a lot of different factors.

    Is it for lust? Is it for living arrangements to accomidate each other financially? Is it because there is a possibility of marriage? The list goes on and on...

    If it is for the possibility of marriage then I strongly suggest it. All might go well for a couple months until the real person comes out. My wife and I lived together to find out how each other was before marriage. We were a little scared of commitment and we did find out how each other was. Divorce is painful and costly.

    That was 20+ years ago and it was a good decision on our part we think. We founf out how much we did love each other and it put our minds at ease.

  3. Depends on the two peoples level of maturity.

  4. Uh, No

  5. No not at all ! if you know things feel right - I bought my first house with my husband at 21

  6. Nope, i think it's fine... Although it depends on your personal situation. If you are going straight from living with your parents to living with a partner, that can be a little stressful, in my opinion you need to be able to find your own space before you invite someone else to share that space. If you think you are heading towards marriage, i honestly think that there is no better way to find out if you are well suited than to live with each other first. It's not just about coping with each others annoying habits, it's about sharing and teamwork (of housework, money, space..!) and that's a brilliant way to get to know the other person and yourself better.

    I am only 19 and my boyfriend is 20, we have lived together for 2 years so far and never really had any problems

  7. no it isn't..they're adults..so long as they act like mature adults about it though

  8. Nope. Girls get mature so soon than boys unless you living with a 40 years old man ofcourse he more mature than you but if your boyfriend almost same age as you then i will say you are more mature to think than him. Goodluck.

  9. no, if it's the choice that you both made and really want then i hope it all works out for you both.

  10. Nope - I'm 21 and married. But we also have full time jobs and money is still tight. So make sure you work out your expenses thoroughly

  11. No it's not.  The only thing you should be mindful of is what you want out of the relationship and understanding that if you shack up with a guy that you are increasing the "odds" he will drag out any sort of marriage proposal (even claiming, "well I don't know if I believe in marriage").  Statistically, most people who also shack up often don't marry (compared to their counterparts who live separately until marriage) and many of those end in divorce.

    So, if you are in love with this guy and are seriously thinking of marriage..well I wouldn't move in with him.  You can still have "s*x" with-out living together, you can still see how he lives (ie drop by his apartment randomly to see if it is a dump or clean) and the simple fact is that you really won't learn that much more about him being shacked up.  Oh, maybe you might find he does something that annoys you but the simple fact is that is the norm for most marriages.  

  12. no but you want to marry before you live together. if you chose to live together keep it simple have a personal account and a account that you all put money in for bills. split the bills and keep receipt and a written agreement as to who gets what if next year you all hate each other lol (it happens).  do not let friends get  involved in your relationship. if they think you all are happy they will try to break you up good luck. and live your life.

  13. Not if they are committed to a future marriage.  You should be at least engaged.   Do not let a man convince you to settle for a sexual relationship in a marriage like setting without a commitment.  you would be cheating yourself.  Also, there should be a date, such as 2 years for the wedding.  If he reneges on the wedding, then he is not taking the relationship seriously, and you should not waste your young years on him.  You can't get them back, once they are gone.  By the way, do not get pregnant.  This puts too much pressure on the relationship.  Wait until after both of you have learned to adjust to marriage, and you both are stable financially.

  14. in almost all cases, HEEECK YES!!!

    think about the future. 60, 70, 80 years living together!  try to find some friends or stay with the parents. Im about to be 22 and im about to move in with some friends.

    The longer you wait for something the more you appreciate it anyway. So unless you guys have some specific reasons yall shouldnt be going anywhere in the next year or two or three. wait it out and make enjoy life in the meantime!

  15. No

  16. Well in this age and time 21 is a bit young, lets face the fact marriage is for matured minds, and at 21 i expect you to still be doing all those things that young people do, partying, clubbing and adventure.But with determination you can make your marriage work.

  17. no you should be mature enough i sure hope im living with my honey by the time im 21

  18. No I was married at 21 and still am 10 years later an 3 kids
