The Pros and Cons of Cohabitation

Something nice to share.. and obviously its very subjective... What do you guys think of cohabitation ? To be honest, its 21st century so pls..accept it..Does this trial run of living together really work and will the marriage be better in the long run? Lets see the ad+ and disad- of cohabitation..

UpHill Of Cohabitation
It shouldn't be a decision that should be made lightly for moving in with the other part, once decision made, it will be the next logical steps for both u and the relationship.

- Couples can see if they are compatible for each other as seeing each other a couple of times in a week is totally different with staying together as expenses are shared, bills and lots more..
- Getting to know the living habbits of your patner. there might be different eating habbits, hygiene that you cant accept.
- Spending more time together, which you get to be so close and you don't have to miss them so much and indirectly saving time and money.
- Giving you a level of comfort that you wouldn't have otherwise achieved. You know the other person and their different personality quirks and you're a bit more prepared for when you do marry.
*Some couples think that it is a sort of "future test" in which they get to know all the preferences and habits before they get married, so when it shocks the other half and relationship takes a turn, then they can just walk away without having a divorce under their belt.*


Downside Of Cohabitation
- Couples might get sick of each other after some times as some couples do need some spaces and would prefer to be alone.
- One of the half might be isolated and would neglect their families, friends and loved one as they think that they had everything they hope for in the moment.
- As some people think that it is a "road test" before walking down the aisle, therefore, when problems occurs some might just give up on the relationship. And marriage is not about just bolting out the door but to work hard and go thru everything with the other half when problems strike.. Therefore, it might be a totally wrong perception.
- There is no change after marriage, because they may feel that the pleasure of being married isn’t as strong as they thought as they have already gone through the ‘pretend’ phase.

**Cohabited with the other half before marriage is really depends on how the couple feels and whether it is the natural progression for them to take..**
I am emotional now..
So i decided to post this..
As i think that it is interesting...
These are just my point of view...
It might not apply with everybody.. :)


"So what do you think of cohabiting??"
"To me, its nothing and i can accept it..."
"Nothing to be shameful about, but im practically practicing it :)"
"And me and my precious had gone thru this for 3 years ♥"
"And his parents accepted it :D, So there's ntg bothering us now"
"Is He the one im going to walk down the aisle together...?"
"I would say, if nothing wrong occurs.."
"He would be the one :) "
