Couples Should Cohabit before Marriage
In the beginning of a relationship, there is a lot of excitement, giddiness,
infatuation, lust and romance. As the relationship grows stronger, there are important
decisions that need to be made. One in particular is the living arrangements of the
couple. There are couples that decide to live together before marriage to see if their
partnership will work. Some people are appalled by the fact that a couple would move
in together and live as a married couple, because they believe it to be ungodly and that
sex and children should only be a result of marriage. However, there are people who do
not believe in religion, nor do they care if you live together before marriage or not
. Couples should live together before marriage because they will learn more about
themselves and each other before taking such a big step.
Couples living together prior to marriage will find out if they are financially
compatible. Once a couple makes the transition of moving in together, they will see how
easy or hard it will be to manage their money. The fact of having one household instead
of two will make it easy also all utility, water, grocery, and rent will be split in half.
Living together before marriage will help a couple find out if maybe one is too frivolous
with their money, and if the situation could be controlled before taking the next step into
marriage. For example, maybe the boyfriend will get his paycheck go out to the bar
spend and all of his money then come home broke. As a result, the girl is stuck paying
the bills for the month. The financial burden of taken care of oneself is hard, but if a
partner is irresponsible with their money, it can get expensive.
