Absolutely

Signed papers on a house only in my name
Proposed like 10 days later
She lived about a hour away and started staying over on weekends, then I was in a wreck and broke my femur a couple months later and couldn’t drive for like 6 or 8 weeks so that pretty much sped things up 3 or 4 months before the wedding.
All worked out fine.
Wouldn’t recommend breaking your femur. Kind of whatever on shacking up.

No.

No, in 1970 that was not acceptable. Today they should make you get a learners permit before you get a real marriage license.

Six years livin' in sin followed by 29 years of marriage so far.
Yes. I'd recommend it.

Don’t you want to test drive the car before you buy it?

Yes and yes

You think barely dating the person you marry is practically the right thing to do?
No, not really. It was just a practical reality of our particular situation. I was 27 when we met. I knew what I was looking for. I didn't need a year of dating to decide she was what I wanted. I imagine even if I had met someone living a mile away that I could see every day, it still wouldn't have taken me more than six months to decide she was "the one," or not.
My great-grandfather met my great-grandmother on a train from Abita Springs to New Orleans on a Monday morning when my great-grandmother was traveling into town to work at a textile mill for the week. He waited for her at the Abita Springs station on Friday afternoon when she was going home for the weekend and proposed. Six months later they stayed married for 57 years until he died.
We overcomplicate life in our modern world.

Yes and yes... I think it is very useful in determining if you can live with each other. You Won't know until you actually try it.

Hell we owned our house together a few months before we got married (lived together prior to that too).
It worked for us, might not be for everyone.

Lots of mother frickers in here need Jesus.

We actually bought a house together first, after dating for 8 months. Married in Cabo last October, had our first child in March.
Personally I recommend it. You’ll learn a lot about someone, you’ll get your finances in order prior, and have way more sex
On the flip side it could make or break the relationship, but that’s what you want before you lock yourself in.

I did. We’ve been living together 10 years now and married for 7. Some of it was just financially related. We stayed at each other’s places every night regardless so it made no sense to pay rent two places. I also think it’s beneficial because living with someone full time gives you a glimpse at what marriage will look like. For us, nothing really changed when we got married. There was no adjusting to anything but a new title and wearing a ring.

No, and don't know. Perhaps, I have lived in a bubble, but the majority of responses surprised me given that most here grew up in the Bible Belt.
As for me, I've been happily married for 7 years.

You young sprouts need to be aware that the one food that is likely to totally destroy a woman's sex drive is eating a piece of her own wedding cake.

Yes and yes. We lived together after we got engaged but before marriage so it was not quite the same. There is a learning curve learning your partners idiosyncrasies (good and bad). We had that mostly out of the way by time we got married.

Yes, two years with wife #2 and one year with wife #3
Posted on 11/16/23 at 11:12 am to Thundercles
Nope, I don't necessarily like the idea of hell. Been married 24 years
