Co Habitation is a good thing. I know that a lot of people feel that it is old fashion and everything but think of it this way: you know how sometimes we go shopping and something in the store looks hot you gotta have it so you buy it. But, when you get home and try it on again you dont like it anymore, i mean it is awful and not what you thought it looked like the first time, then you gotta get rid of it so you either give it away cause you cant find the sales slip or you got your sales slip and you give it bad. Now change that scenerio to fit a relationship. Why get married before you live together, see how living together is first. Now I am not saying to do this for a ridiculous amount of time. I you have been dating for a while try living together for maybe 6 months at the least no more than a year. If things run smoothly then that is when you can take that final step meaning marriage. I know personally my boyfriend just got an apartment in North Carolina and I will be living there this summer until time to come back to school but since I have choosen to delay graduation a semester so that I can double major, I will be taking care of the apartment and bills for him while he is away over seas. If this works out then we will get married next year and we have been together since high school. I hope what I wrote can help you or atleast give you some insite to your situation. The worse that could happen is that yall break up and I would rather break up before marriage then spend all that extra money on getting a lawyer to file for your divorce.
