Would you live with someone you want to marry?
Posted: 10/25/2009 7:26:56 AM
I lived with my ex prior to marriage. The piece of paper made a difference. Once we had that piece of paper that so many claim makes no difference...he changed. I have talked to men and women who both indicated they lived with someone and after marriage the other person no longer behaved the same. I am not saying that living together is a bad thing for others, I just don't think I would choose it for myself. I would rather keep my house and he keep his and tunnel under the road.

I am unsure. There are two sides to this for me. I live in each day as it comes. I have a child who would be involved as well. That is the main reason I have not ever married or lived with someone. I made the choice to have my children therefore it is my responsibilty to raise them in a happy healthy environment. If I live with someone and they grow attached (which I hope they would) and the man walks away I have caused much unecessary damage to my child. But on the other hand Is it good that my children have not ever seen me in a relationship? I am not so religious that I could say I have to be married before living toghether. I would most definatly not live with someone before marriage unless a date had been set. I like what another posted

"take vacations and spend lots of time together and lots of communication."

Blending families was not even talked about here which I am surprised with todays society and all of the divorce and single parents. (note I did not say single Mom's) Single dads are becoming more common and that is a good thing because I have seen so many disfuctional mom's.

Another thing I heard that I like in relation to relationships and marriage:

Do what you know is right wether you FEEL like it or not and the FEELINGS will follow.

Get that it is deep???

Discussing blended families is important if you still have children at home but I guess for those of us whose chicks have flow the nest we don't think about it as much. BUT you still blend to some degree and hope everyone will like each other. Just not as important when the children no longer live at home. You are right to keep that in the thought process if you children are with you.

Mine just say....as long as he treats you well.
