Okay so alot of people say "you should get married before moving in together" well I say you should live with someone before marriage, because if you don't how do you know if that's the person you really want to "live" with everyday of your life forever. You won't know their habits, how they do things, how they eat, how they sleep.. etc. What is everyone's opinions on living together before marriage? The reason I'm asking is because everyone is pushing me & my SO to get married because we "live together" & it's not right blah blah blah. If they keep pushing he will never marry me, & if he does I feel like it will be only because they said we should. I want him to ask me to marry him when he's ready! Not for anyone else. That's not right & that's not how it should be.

Living together before marriage?

Or marriage before living together?

What is everyone's opinions & input.

Thanks! (:
