What are the benefits of living together before marriage?
Cupid’s Advice:
Moving in together first is a good way to test if you and the one you love are ready for marriage. Â Cupid has some ideas on why you should consider living together before getting married:
1. Learning their habits: When you live with someone, you learn about all of their idiosyncrasies and bad habits. Â Before you two tie the knot, decide whether or not you can live with someone who never takes out the trash!
2. Figuring out finances: A huge part of getting married is figuring out how to merge your finances. Â Shacking up together first can help you establish ground rules when it comes to money as well as overcome any financial hurdles before you take a walk down the aisle.
3. Seeing their other side: Everyone acts differently in a public vs. private setting. Â At home, your partner might be a completely different person, and you need to know both sides of your mate before you make a big commitment.
