Living together before marriage. ? Weddingbee Boards

I've read so many threads where women live together with their SO's, for years and years, and still wait for a ring, and it just never comes.

While I do agree that living together before marriage really prepares you in many ways, I have to say that I would feel MUCH more comfortable if I was completely confident that I was in a committed, solid relationship. I told my SO about a year ago when he suggested that we should move in together after I finish University, that while I would love to live with him more than anything, I would feel uneasy doing so without a form of committment. I didn't tell him that I REFUSED to move in without a committment, I just said that it would make me much more confident in my relationship. So, he proposed to me 2 weeks ago :), and we are planning to move in together in the summer. I feel very happy, and very confident. More than anything, the most important factor for me, is that he doesn't just want to live together to "test the waters", but wants to do it just as a natural step to our relationship.

In short, I think it is good to be at least Engaged first, prior to living together. At least you have some form of committment already, and you can already start planning the wedding.

By being engaged first, you can fasten the timeline, and start your married life that much quicker.
