Although I was raised pretty conservatively - I think its good to live with someone before marriage.....IF you are engaged. I dont think its cool to just live with someone you are just casually dating - break up - move in with the next boyfriend.
This is why I feel this way:
My friend Tina dated John from like 8th grade through college. Their parents were best friends...they were like the perfect couple. He was in the navy while she was in college - but when he came back, they were more in love than ever. They got engaged and were married within 3 years. So they get married, get a house and live with each other for the first time ever. Within 3 months they were seperated because they couldnt stand living together
On the other side....my brother and his wife lived together for 5 years before they got married. Of course it was a shock to my seriously southern baptist parents...like it was the family secret lol. But I am happy to report they will celebrate their 5 year wedding anniversary in June
I do agree with what someone said about buying the cow when you can get the milk for free....so I guess my opinion would be....I would only live with a guy if I had a ring on my finger
