Things have changed along with time, having that big white wedding before having kids or even moving in together is now a thing of the past. Couples now a days prefer moving in together before getting married either to get to now each other better on a much better and different level, or just for the fun of spending more time together without having to cough out any cash. in most cultures and all religions it is believed that cohabitation is a sin, but what makes couples do this? Some of the reasons that i got from friends after discussing this topic are; it's cheaper, less hassle when things don't go as planned, to get to know each other better, to avoid divorce and having your things taken away (if you marry in community of property), and lastly to get use to your partner before making the decision of marring that person and spending the rest of your life with that person.
In my own opinion i believe that if you feel its wrong nothing or no one should convince you otherwise, if that's the way you were brought up and you turned out fine then why should you change. on the other hand if you see nothing wrong with it and you feel you can't wait long enough for marriage, then go ahead just as long as you know what you are doing. I feel that if you are young, beautiful, ambitious you should have higher standards and that man should work hard to earn the money to marry you and give you the life that you deserve. Living with a boyfriend should be left for older women who have been married before.
RAISE YOUR STANDARDS LADIES, NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS...
