I agree co-habitation is a good thing. IMO you don't really know somebody or know how compatible you are with them until you have lived together so I think people who plan on marrying should live together first.

critter110 - when my parent's were young I could have agreed wit a lot about what you say - but marriage is now so easy to get out of - it is only property settlement issues and wanting to "stay together for the kids" that makes marriage "permanent" in any sense. You no longer even have to show cause for a divorce nowadays...

What's to like about co-habitation? It's just another symptom of a culture that celebrates a lack of personal responsibility and sticking to your word. Sure it's easier to split from than a marriage, but marriages aren't meant to be broken with the ease that some people glide from one to the next. Marriage takes effort and a strong commitment, co-habitation replaces that with a free and easy atmosphere of leaving as soon as it pleases. I'm sure this won't be a popular sentiment- okay by me.

personally i see it's benefits, it's better than having to go through a divorce, you can get away quicker. Although like judge judy says it's harder to split things.

true that, but i hate it when they think everybody on a benefit is a lazy scrounger or whatever, some people genuinely do need benefits. The people that are lazy and do this make me angry cause they make everyone look bad.

America is a great land of opportunity but it's the country that is abused the most..

She really hates co-habiting before (or instead of) marrying - doesn't she?

She needs to grow up??? Is he kidding?? Mr. I-Still-live-with-my-parents-and-can't-pay-my-own-way??? What a joke! She should be so happy to be rid of him! He's a permanent teenager.
