Living together without married

What are the advantages and disadvantages of living together without marriage There are many advantages and disadvantages in living together before marriage. Today there are many couples living together before marriage. Sometimes these kinds of relationships ‘living together before marriage’ end up with success and sometimes they are unsuccessful. Some of the advantages of living together before marriage are such as getting to know your partner, learning about one’s abilities if he/she can satisfy your expectations and more.

Also, there are some disadvantages in living together before marriage and they are such as religious andfamilyvalues, parenting problems and more. I think there are more advantages then disadvantages in living together before marriage, because sometimes disadvantages in this kind of relationship are avoidable. One of the advantages of living together before marriage is getting to know a person that you might marry with. It is important for a person to know almost everything about the other person that he/she is going to get marry with.

However, it can’t be accomplish without living together for a while before getting married. People need to know how a person is handling his/her life from all aspects such as behavior, mental, financial and others before a person decides to get married with. This cannot be completed in a few days, therefore, it is important to live together for a while before deciding whether to get married or now. First of all, cohabitation will be a trial period before marriage.

We encounter with divorces in our daily lives because of couples who do not know enough about each other. They do not know other’s home life or disturbing behaviours during the relationship. These are realized when they get married and start to live together. In addition some marriage decisions are given in 2 or 3 months after they met first. At this period, having an assumption about each other is very difficult. Cauples can be aware of other’s special life and behaviours in cohabitation.

They can make a step to a strong marriage with living together before marriage. Secondly, in cohabitation there will be financial independence and no legal obligations for spouse. When the couples start to live together, they will just share rent, moneyof pills and basic needs of home such as shopping, cooking and cleaning. Except for these, they will continue to their daily lives like living alone. When woman want to buy new shoes, she does not need to think what her partner will say. She buys them and does not have obligation for her spouse.

Couples will be independence their personal needs. At this point, cohabitation is more alluring than marriage. Finally, it is argued that living together without marriage is against moral standarts at the society. Although there are many people who think so, I believethat moral values can not affect how people make a decision. They do not live for maral values. They live for theirhappiness. If we get married immediately with our partner who we fall in love without information about her/him , adivorceis inevitable.

At this point, moral values do not help to save our marriage. To sum up, cohabitation is a experiment before marriage for couples who want to get married at the end or a life style for couples who love each other without legal obligations and regulations. For most people cohabitation might seem against to moral values or lack of legal regulations. However, I firmly believe that happiness is more important than these values and legal regulations. Therefore, we should give up to integrate and affect people’s decisions. They have to live how they want.
