Moving in

2 years is not too long before marriage. People live together for 10+ years before even thinking about getting married. My fiancé and I have been living together for just over 3 years. We are getting married next weekend. In my opinion you don’t really know someone until you live with them. You gotta make sure you can still deal with their little quirks when you can’t get away from them.

Me and my fiancé will have lived together three years before getting married. I think it’s important before getting married, because you really start to see all the stuff they’ve been hiding, it makes you either accept them or realize maybe they aren’t the one. Also studies show if you plan on getting married when you move in that the rates a divorce go down compared to couples that move in just to move in

We moved in together a year after dating and have lived together for 5 years in 3 different states.

To live together or not to live together is truly your own personal beliefs and values. You'll have people totally against it and people who are accepting. My fiancé and I are not living together before marriage because that is what we want. I wish you all the best and much happiness.

My fiance and I just moved in the beginning of August of this year and we are getting married in 2021. I think it's actually better to live with someone before you get married because at least you know what to expect and what it's like to live with the person before you get married to them.

We lived together about 2 years before getting engaged. First year of living together was tougher than the 1st year of marriage! 👍 We already worked out our major issues.

It’s really up to how you and your future SO feel. My fiancé and i have been living together for 7 years now and our wedding is next year

My FH and I have lived together for over a year, and we are getting married next August. We just bought a house together in April. I think it’s completely acceptable and that way you’re not going into the marriage not knowing how they are in their own space!

I moved in with my fiancé a few months ago. We are getting married in December!

We got engaged December 2017 and moved in together February 2018 and our wedding is November 2019 so we will be just a few months short of living together two years.

My fiancé and I have been living together since 2016. We got engaged this past June and will be married next June.

I moved in with him 4 months into dating. we got engaged in April and I was living with him for 1.5 years at that point. it's all preference. as long as it's not against your religious values, I feel like it's a good thing to do to really learn their quirks.

I definitely think it's fine. We've been together 10 years, lived together for 6 years, our engagement will be 2-1/2 years. We still don't get married for another year.

I don't think so!! Our relationship started off on a unique foot, but we have lived together for about 5-6 of the 7 years we have been together, and won't be married until next year. I couldn't imagine finding a place to live, learning to live together, and planning a wedding all at once!

It's honestly only up to you on if that's too long or not. I know some people who have been living with their SO for 5 years and have no plans of getting married and others, like myself, who didn't live with their SO until after they were married. In today's society, it is very common to live with your SO before marriage, whether or not you are engaged. As long as you and your SO are happy, I don't really think many other opinions matter, except maybe close friends/family if they have wise reasoning for their opposite opinion.

There's no such thing as "too long" as far as living together before marriage. At least in my opinion. My FH and were long distance for two years and then moved in together after that. It's almost nine years we've been together and will be ten years on our wedding date, so if two years is long then seven/eight years is ancient haha. I think that you should live together before marriage (my opinion, of course) cause you learn so much about the other person and how you as a couple deal with certain situations. But it's up to you and yours as to if it's right for you, but I say go for it!

We moved in together after we got engaged. We would have moved in together sooner, but we both owned houses ( and he had roommates) so we had to get that sorted out. We will be living together for close to a year by the time we get married. I highly recommend living together before marriage. There is definitely an adjustment period and you don’t want to be getting married, going on a honeymoon, and trying to figure out how to live together all at the same time.

My fiance and I live apart since my mom lives with me and one of his sons lives with him. My apartment lease is up in July 2020 and I know all of my stuff will be moving into his house and son will be moving out. I never believed in living together before marriage and haven't decided if I'll move in when my furniture does. It would be easier to live with him, but even he thinks we should wait until we're married. I'd have to stay with my mom or my niece until the wedding. So it's still up in the air.

Don’t let people rush you into a wedding date! Unless they want to pay for it! Haha I get that question all the time, especially from my boss and I told him he doesn’t pay me enough for me to pay for my wedding in less than a year 😂😂😂😂 my FH and I moved in together 5 months after we met and that was 4 years ago! But everyone is different. Do what is right for you guys!

My hubby & I lived together for about 1 1/2 years before getting engaged (then a 15 month engagement). I personally think living together is a VERY helpful preview of marriage and relationship-builder (or breaker). And the good news is I think the 1st year of marriage was much easier and more fun than the 1st year of living together! 💕
