Hey everyone. I have to write a paper on the ethics of Marriage for school and you all could be a big help. If you are currently living with someone, please give the reasons why you are not going to get married or the reasons why you plan on getting married. Please also include your age as well.
For you single people, you can also give your opinions. State the reasons why you would want to get married or just decide to live together with someone. Thanks in advance to everyone! I greatly appreciate your future feed back.(note: if wish to remain confidential you can always just pm me. Thank you)
I know several couples who have lived together unmarried longer than many married couples do. Personally, I think it's better that way... They are just as much, if not more committed than most married people. And if they ever decide to break up, it'll be a lot easier on the both of them, seeing as there would be no legal issues--just pack up and move out. Marriage means nothing anymore, the only real benefits are finance-related things. Plus I think after you've lived together for a certain amount of time, you automatically get all the benefits marriage provides.
Living together is considered to be more stressful than being married. One of the reasons is due to less commitment. It has also been noted that more than 50% of couples who live together before marriage end up apart either through just moving out or divorce later on.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, unmarried couples account for some 5.5 million households in the U.S. Evidence also shows that couples who live together may not discuss important or troublesome issues in their relationship.
Though other sources might claim the opposite.

here in Norway the break up rate is much higher among the married vs those who live together.
And that living together is more stressful than being married must be the consideration of someone who is married.
Me and Monika live together our commitment are just as we should be married.
Now I know most of you guys are not going to like this. but bare with me please.
Ok marriage is alot better then living with your boyfriend or girlfriend.Because you are married.
and you will know this guy or girl will not cheat on you.And hopfully had no relations before he met you.l
While if you are living with a boyfriend or girlfriend you have no idea how much girls he slepted with and have a change of him moving out anyway and leaving you,
So to me the marriage seen more fiten and less dangers.See you around.JM 😕 😱 💃
Actly it sounds like a good idea to me.

keep on dreaming
A five years old hu?I don't think so.For one thing you are responable to yourself not get any of those horrible sickness because you go around sleeping with someone who just lives with you.
HOW Is that possible that a five years old can think of that.It is your choice acouse but you should use it if you want to keep yourself safe.
I am not saying it is a sin or anything but living with someone might be good in a way that you will see if you want to marry that someone.
But it also is a risk because in the meanwhile you have no idea what those guys slepted with and so on.
Do you really want to live with someone and decide not marry them.Well what was the point of living with them?
No point a five years old would be like I am going to just sleep around till I find that guy and live with him and die and all that stuff.Just because I decided to act imature.
The mature way is to think what you are doing make sure non of you guys have sexual illness that wil happen if you sleep around all the time.
While you are married you can stop running around your fun has just began.But if you want to act like sleeping arund with people until you are married is a good thing.
I think you are the one that should dream on.No llife is going to be good after taht.But acouse you should know this or maybe you are still a child and does not.
See you arund.JM
Ok marriage is alot better then living with your boyfriend or girlfriend.Because you are married.
using because as an argument is just like 5 year old do to make a point.
Live a little longer and experienced a bit more before you so bluntly talk about the cons of "just" living together.
The only difference between living together and being married is a piece of paper that says you are a married couple.
Do you really want to live with someone and decide not marry them.Well what was the point of living with them?I know marriage seems like a fairy tale and adventure for a teenage girl, at least the wedding.
You need to wake up from that dream of yours that married people dont screw around cause they do.

Tell you what I am not married never gonna marry either, me and my girlfriend live together and have done so for 9 years now
We are just as committed as married couples.You need to wake up from that dream of yours that married people dont screw around cause they do. [/B]
Marriage couples stew around too.That is right.One question if you are happy living with your girlfriend get married.It is not that hard.Plus if you do not that means you are unsure of your relionship is that correct?
Because if you are then that is why you are not marrying her.You my friend are living in a dream that will end good if you don't do anything about it.
See my point?JM 😎
One question if you are happy living with your girlfriend get marriednever seen the reason to marry, I am happy as it is now.
if you do not that means you are unsure of your relionship is that correct?no we are very sure of our relationship.
I see marriage as a religious thing, and I aint fan of religious things.
In Norway you eiterh mary in church or you marry before a judge at the court house.
When you have lived together for two years you notifiy the authorities of the situation and your rights as a couple is just the same as a married couple. We are just as much togehter as a married couple only diffrence is they have a document saying they are married, we are listed as living together. It is just in the wording
