And why?

Okija_juju:

No!!

Over familiarity breeds contempt!

Moreover, you have the rest of your lives to live together so why rush!!  

68% Debatable though!


NO for me! It's a disrespect to the institution of marriage, and marriage vows!

sexkillz:

And why?

What in the name of Mr Cork is this Albino whyin  about?  

Eiregirl:

Definitely YES!!!! Because then you can really get to know your partner, their good and bad points & see if you are ready & willing to put up with the bad for the rest of your life!!!! We can make an informed choice on whether we will be able to live together for the rest of our lives and if we will able to compromise and work things out when problems arise etc.

coogar:

of course, yes!
with the way women lie virtually over everything these days, i wouldn't take her word for it.
i would stay with her - test her assets and find out if she's for me.

if i was buying a car, i would test drive it.

Since you wanna compare cars, do they let you go home with the car? For weeks, months, years before you buy?

Why would you even think a woman is a car? What are you to her then? Her OKADA?

BABE!:

Team Cohabitation.

To see if "it's" gonna work out. You don't wanna be stuck in an unhappy marraige for the rest of your life; especially if you follow the [i]bible[/i].

Okija_juju:

I get the whole entrapment line of arguement, but still I dont think they should live together because all they would be doing really is

And I guess I hold this opinion because divorce to me, is a clear and present option should I realize that I have erred.

sexkillz:

Did you date him prior to this or not? And why?

kelz88:

I would rather not cohabit but I wont rule it out either.

Kelz! Why are you this diplomatic sef? Lingering on 2 opinions? Choose one and give reasons why biko!

Eiregirl:

Yes I dated him prior to this. Why? Because we were attracted to one another & wanted to get to know each other better but you can't get to know the REAL person by just dating. When you're living with each other, sleeping & waking up with each other every day. Sharing your space, bills etc is not an easy task. I just think cohabiting is a good thing before marriage. It may not be for everyone or it may not suit everyone but for me, I agree with it 100%.

coogar:

of course, they don't. . . . .i buy a car and use for 10 yrs. . . . .i could test-drive it for a week.
it's a matter of ratio. . . .i marry a woman for 60 yrs, i cohabitate with her for 2 yrs.


we are both each other's cars.
she rides me, i ride her(pardon the pun).

sexkillz:

Who is asking you to stay in an unhappy marriage?

The bible.   It says I can seek for a divorce only in these situations : Infidelity and death.

sexkillz:


Is it all cohabitation marriages that end up happy?

sexkillz:


Does cohabitation guarantee a happy marriage?

sexkillz:

Kelz! Why are you this diplomatic sef? Lingering on 2 opinions? Choose one and give reasons why biko!

sexkillz:

Are you saying that marriages without cohabitation fail?

Of course not. I'm not saying everyone should co-habit. It's a matter of choice.

No. No guarantee. However, it increases the probability of a happy marriage.

The longer you stay with someone, the more the "bad" comes out in them, and the quicker you are able to find a solution to the "bad". If you can't, you back out.  

kelz88:

Hahaha!

Killz, I just don't like judging or condemning stuff especially when there's no harm in it. I don't want to rule it out cos I might find myself cohabiting tomorrow, who knows! And what happened to "don't knock it until you've tried"?

kelz88:

Killz, looks like you are ready for every shock you get after marriage.

My dear diplomat! You are in support of cohabitation, so pls come out of the closet! BTW, what do you mean by Dont knock until you've tried? Tried what?

coogar:

marriages without cohabitation are more likely to fail!
if you apply common sense, it's very obvious.

sexkillz:

It looks so, but it's not! Cohabitation makes you give up easily! Marriage on the other hand makes you committed to making it work! Would you change your car every time it had a fault?
