Joint living before marriage - the pros and cons

More and more couples are starting to live together without entering into an official marriage. This phenomenon has in society as supporters, and even opponents. Both those and others give reasons confirming their positions. Consider joint living before marriage - the pros and cons.

Pros of living together before marriage.
• There is a shared living experience, which is useful anyway, even if not with this partner. You can try yourself in a new role as a getter or a keeper of the hearth.
• You can feel more mature and independent. This is especially true if a young person (girl) lives with his parents.
• The young couple need to spend more time with each other.
• You can learn the habits and inclinations of each other in advance.
• The funds spent on housing are saved.
• It's easier to part, i.e. ways to retreat are not hampered by legislative and social obstacles.
• Independence is maintained
• The ability to make changes in your life with the help of half measures. Given that for many people marriage (even the thought of it) is a very stressful factor, living together before marriage can prepare such a person for a more decisive step - registration of relations.

Cons of living together before marriage.
• Uncertainty of the family future.
• It is easier to lose each other because of petty problems.
• The anticipation of living together is lost and its value is diminished, since the congress often happens spontaneously and quickly - once a night was spent, two of them came together.
• Living together with the presence of sexual relations before the wedding is condemned and considered a sin in many religions.
• Things and other property acquired during cohabitation outside of marriage are the property of the person who acquired them. This means that the section on the court of this property is difficult. The exception is those cases when the applicant for a share can prove that he invested in the purchase of his own funds. To do this, you need to maintain a kind of accounting, which will look rather strange in the eyes of the partner. Therefore, the stamp in the marriage registration certificate is a guarantee of financial security in case of separation.
• In the event of a tragic death of one member of the couple, the second may lose the property.
• According to the research of American scientists, couples living together before marriage, are more likely to part later.
• If cohabitation lasts for more than four years, the probability of the couple joining the marriage decreases. In such situations, the opponent of marriage in most cases is a man, since he already has everything he wanted plus a clean passport.
• In cases where a couple lives long, has common children, often a woman convinces herself and everyone that the seal about marriage in the passport is absolutely superfluous.
• When a child is born, the father must go through the adoption procedure, otherwise he does not have any paternal rights.

It is clear that in this issue the most important component is the pair itself, which always determines the pros and cons. And if this couple can and wants to live together, the form of residence is not decisive. At the same time, any idea-fix, for example, marriage, is able to spoil relations, take away a couple from the realm of feelings to the domain of form. Again, the failed couple will disperse, regardless of the presence of a stamp in the passport or, what's even worse, its participants will stay close and will spoil each other's lives.
