Smart. Who cares if it is a sin, we all sin. This one isn't any worse than any number of sins we commit on the daily.

We bought a house together years before we got married.

Living With Your SO Before Marriage


You're only a "sinner" if you make the secks. You had best figure out if you can cohabitate with the person and all of their personal shite they're hiding under the rug while they're in dating mode before she's locked in. For example, my first wife never farted or passed gas in front of me one time while we were dating, after we were married, that gassy bitch was blowing the doors off. Find out if you're future wife is a lazy slob when it comes to house work, or if she nags the frick out of you for petty shite before you put the ring on it.

And what are the divorce rates in 2022 compared to 1922.

We’re in a failing, decaying culture, and y’all’s advice is “Yeah, double down on that”.

Agreed. I lived with a girl who was as dirty as any guy I know. You also get to see the crazy they may have been able to hide.

Do people really still take religion this seriously?

Every bitch is crazy, but you have to find how far they're pushed before they snap, and the level of crazy when they actually break.

I would recommend it, but there are other ways to gauge your compatibility with a future spouse without living together. My wife and I didn't and we've been married 11 years. Seeing how each of us lived was enough reassurance to know we would be compatible living together.

Judging by this thread... seems like some people do.

Crazy is easy to hide for a couple days at a time, which is usually the longest people who don't live together will be in the same company. Living in together is the only way to get the full perspective of who a person truly is.

You'll see how an argument is radically different when you cant "escape" to your own home base.

Add to the list of "must dos before you do":


-attend multiple family gatherings (both sides) and really focus on things they said AFTER.

-watch them interact with non family pets/children

I believe the last time this thread came up that the statistics of divorces was pretty similar between those that did live together before and those that didn't.

We chose to live together before. 9 years later it still worked out for us.

You should date, have 3 kids, move in together and wait a year to see if you are serious.

I didn't live with my wife before marriage but I fully accept that it certainly isn't normal. Our faith is what drove the decision.

I think if the couple truly love each other and are truly committed to marriage then anything that comes up living together post marriage can be resolved.

Yes - I understand this can be seen as naive. I accept that risk.

Same, a little under 2 years before tying the knot. Lived together 2-1/2 years before buying too.

Determined that buying the house before throwing a wedding was the smarter financial decision.
