Should Couples Live Together Before Getting Married?

Having gone through two situations where living together proved to be the best choice, I'd have to say definitely YES. By living together, you can learn a lot about a person before being bound by marriage. Should you decide to live together first, you could possibly avoid a long term relationship with someone who has what I call the " JEKYLL & HYDE SYNDROME".

Although, living together first nor, marriage is ever a guarantee. Learning ones habits and mannerisms before tying the knot can save you a world of headaches and, heartache down the road. Once you walk down the aisle and, say your " I DO'S ", it can be harder to get out of a relationship which is sometimes, physically, emotionally and or, verbally abusive which can be detrimental to you health.

A lot of grown-ups now and, back in the day believe that, living together before marriage is a sin. But, I think that peoples outlook on that has changed tremendously and, It is no longer frowned upon as much as it used to be. Although, older some folks still believe that you should just go ahead and, tie the knot. I guess, they strongly believe in, " Till Death Do Us Part " and, whatever happens within the marriage should be dealt with and, worked out. Plus, to the older folks, divorce is totally out of the question so, I would definitely live together before getting married.
