Living together before wedding

The feedback from each of you is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My FH and I have had a long distance relationship for almost 6 years and we will be finally living together in the same city this summer. I am excited to finally be able to see him regularly and get all the kinks worked out before we marry next summer. Wedding planning will be so much easier too!

I highly recommend it. You can want to be around someone with shorter times and not realize they are very different at home 24/7. If you can't live with them before, a piece of paper won't change it! Go for it, best decision we made.

So I was against living together before we got engaged. We got engaged and bought a home and I think it was the BEST idea ever. When we started dating, we decided to wait to have sex until we were married and it was really important to both of us so make sure that we don't put ourselves in compromising situations where we are tempted. We were honest and upfront with our parents about these decisions and had both of their blessings to move into the same home we purchased before we got married. Before the home, we were maintaining two households. I still had my place for a few months after we purchased the home but then moved in about 4 months after. Make the decision thats best for YOU and YOUR FH. Best of luck!

FH and I moved in together after about a year of dating...We've been living together for 3 and the wedding is in June.

I can't imagine committing to someone who idk if I can stand living with...And personally I'd rather get all the arguments about space and neatness and laundry and dishes out of the way beforehand so I can enjoy being married!

Imagine getting married and being in newly Wed bliss to come home from your honeymoon to one house and find out that you hate the way new hubby loads the dishwasher and does the laundry and that he snores. Or how annoying it is that he leaves his beard hair all over the sink when he shaves...Now all of a sudden instead of being happy and in love you're annoyed and petty and arguing about little things that really don't matter...

No thanks. Do it beforehand and you can come home and enjoy being married!

In the beginning FH used to get so mad at me because he's a neat freak and I'm not so I'd leave stuff everywhere! Now I know I have to keep my mess to certain areas if I don't want him to have a meltdown over it!

My FH and I have lived together for 5 years in a small 1 bedroom/1 bathroom. That's right ONE bathroom. There is no excitement in living together in the beginning. Just a lot of awkwardness and learning how to have someone always in your space. The other morning I got out of the shower and FH ran in and spent over 5 minutes in there. I spent that whole time fuming because I would have to blow dry my hair in the presence of his stink bomb...this is what living together is.

I'm a believer that you should live together before getting married. I have lived with FH for 4 of the 5 years we have been together. There are lots to learn about each other that you would never know unless you live together.

There is no excitement to spoil really just getting to know each other even more.
