Marriage vs. Just Living Together

Started by dave1234 pages

its from subjective data, and therefore not a fact

It's a theory by Silvia Brown, my friend is a nut and reads all her books and stuff 🙄

I perfur the combo of both, which is obvious. Living together, sharing a living quarters, and then marriage. So basically marriage over life-mates, I want kiddies.

I would strongly recommend living together for three or four months if possible before getting married. That way, it's an easier out if it's not going to work.

How you do feel about 7 years? 😕

live together first, then get married if you think it'll work, its good to know what your getting yourself into.

😑 I'm sure she's questioning if you care at all about her by then.

😂

I wonder why Jackie hasn't come back 😐

I'm living with my boyfriend from 2 months, before that we lived together during the university 3 years. I gratueted last year and went home(other town), he had one more year to do. Now I came back and we are living together. We are planing to get married, but not yet. We just started to work and earn some money, we dont have an apartament, not even a car... But it I like living with him, you know somebody only if you live with him a couple month.
And if you say that 28 is a good age to have children, we have more 4 years.

Well ff6 that is your choice to deceide that you want to get married, and 28 is a very good age to have children. If you are 24 now you have some time to save up a bit, live life a bit and most of all gain life experience. So good luck to you.

uh... deff livin' together, cuz Ill NEVER get marriedm and I doubt Ill live with someone for a long time... so none really

70 hits? Not too bad. Time to right my paper. If anyone has anymore comments keep them coming. Thank you to all who replied.

good lord why? 😑

Well Ive done this both ways. My first husband I did not live with. Ended in divorce. He cheated. Second husband I lived with for 5 years before we got married. We had a daughter, but still didnt get married. Why did we get married? We got married when I found out that after he was on my medical insurance through work [because we were considered common law married], that if he were to die, I was not entitled to his social security benefits because Social Security doesnt recognize common law marriages nor could we have filed income taxes jointly. Did it make a difference living together? Hell no!! This one cheated too.

Things like this are all dependent on the type of people. Some people are content to live together forever without that piece of paper. Other people feel the need to make it official. To each his own, there is no right or wrong answer.

was not entitled to his social security benefits because Social Security doesnt recognize common law marriages
in Norway they dont make a difference between married couples and couples living together, it is we who chooses who will be the beneficiary on our insurances. And since we have a child together that child automatically become the beneficiary.

That's insurance Fin I am talking about Social Security which is paid by the government.

we dont have the same system here with Social security as you have in the states, everything here is covered by the insurance. Should have written that first time around, sorry for not making it all clear
