We moved in together after we got engaged. We lived together a little under two years before our wedding.
-
Yes, for almost two years.
-
nope, we bought a condo together a couple months b4 our wedding. i moved in first and and he moved in after the wedding. we had both lived with our parents beforehand since we were fresh out of college.
-
We lived together for 2 years during college and hid it from my parents. My parents were very strict back then, i wasnt even allowed to date! My "roommate" was always out studying when they stopped by
after graduating, moving home and getting a job I introduced DH to my family. We got engaged a year later and married a year after that.
-
Yes, we moved in after 6 months and got married 3 1/2 years later.
-
We lived together about a 2 months before he proposed, and then lived together the entire time we were engaged (a whopping 3 months). I reccomend that to all my girlfriends, I would never trade the time I spent living with DH before we were married, it helped me really get to know him, and how he acts.
-
Yep! We lived together for 5 years before we got engaged. We were 19 and 21 when we moved in together. For us it worked!
-
We lived together before we were even engaged. Just made more sense and was better for finances and other. Both of us were Active Duty Military and it just helped with money and with pets because for the most part one of us was always home (not always though).
Loved together for like 2.5 yrs before we were married.
-
We moved in together six months after getting engaged, five months before our wedding.
My parents were furious and told their friends I lived with a friend.
-
We didn't live together until the wedding, and waited until the wedding night for other things too.
He did stay over a few nights through. -
Yup. For a long time - 4 years! We bought our house 3 years before he even proposed!
-
we started dating in july and he started staying with me many nights that school year (I was a sophomore in undergrad, with a single dorm room). the following october (dating for a little over a year) we moved in together and haven't looked back
-
@Mrsdaredevil: that definitely kept us from living together- it wasn't worth the wrath of both our parents.
Definitely in the minority here- we didn't live together until after our wedding!! Partly religious beliefs, partly family
-
nope, we didn't live together until we got married!
-
no we waited and moved in the when we got married. I started moving my stuff the week before the wedding.
-
@autumnlove: Yes, we lived together for most of our relationship haha. We moved quickly at first, then slowed down when we got engaged haha.
-
yup, I moved from WI to TX to be with him. I didn't have a job lined up yet when I moved, so i couldn't have been sure I'd be able to pay rent. We were engaged 6 months later and didn't get married for another 15 months after that. My parents were a little hesitant, but they've always been good about voicing their concerns but letting me make my own decisions.
-
We had odd circumstances... My husband and his family moved to this state at the end of June. We met and started dating casually in mid July. By the middle of August his father kicked him out of their house because he was having problems finding a job and they were having issues getting along. He didn't really know anyone since he was fairly new to the state so I let him move in with me for what was supposed to be a few weeks. About 6 months later we got engaged and were married less than a year after that. We've been together 3 years now and although it was unorthodox and not the path I'd wish for my own daughter, it worked for us
-
Yep. I decided to move out East and then we got engaged. I think my husband decided to do the right thing so my parents won't freak out. Haha! We talked about marriage a couple months into dating so we both knew what we wanted. But we didn't get married until 2.5 years after we got engaged though. Only b/c I didn't know the East Coast when I first moved here.
-
DH I were really good friends for 3 years before we got together. I bought a house close to where we worked and he started staying at my place all the time. After a couple month we got together and he officially moved in. 7 months later we were engaged.
My parents didn't care, although I did feel weird about telling them. But I love living with him and it's the reason I'm now married to the love of my life :-).
-
Yes. I'm a big believer in living together before you get married. My BFF didn't live with her BF until they were married because of her parents religious beliefs. Well they got divorced less than two years later. She said if she had lived with him for even just 6 months she would have known to never marry him. I'm not saying not living together always leads to divorce. But her experience left a big impression on me. However, I wouldn't ever actually but property with someone until I was married. Too much risk!
-
No, we didn't. We moved in together after the wedding and I'm very glad we did it that way!
-
We did. Marriage without living together first would never have been an option for me. I also lived with my ex bf, glad i had a chance to cut my losses on that one. I feel strongly about it for myself and I don't know anyone IRL who did not live with their SO before marriage.
-
Absolutely! Financially it wouldn't have made sense to keep two separate places.
We moved in together officially about 10 months after we started dating since we were both moving to a new town.
We lived together for 6 years before getting engaged and got married a year later.
-
Nope. All but two months of our relationship was long-distance, but we still wouldn't have lived together had we been in the same city. We also waited until the wedding night for other things
-
Nope - our first night together was on our wedding night.
-
Another one in the waited till our wedding night over here, but we did both live with my parents for a few months before we got married and we spent a ton of time together our whole relationship, so we knew each other really well. I confess that I don't know why people feel they have to live together to know everything about someone, I mean, don't you love them even if they have a few annoying habits?
-
Nope, we didn't.
-
Another "waited til the wedding night"er here!
Admittedly I practically lived at DH's place, the only time I was ever at my own house was to sleep. But waiting until the wedding night to move in together, among other things
-
We didn't. We were called "old-fashioned" but it's what we wanted.
I don't think it's entirely fair when people say you can't really know someone till you live with them.
-
We didn't live together before we got married. I had seem a lot of studies on cohabitation before marriage and it scared me away from even considering it. My husband stayed over at my place quite a bit in the last four months before our wedding, because we lived 2 hours away and he was often working in my town. I'm glad we waited!
-
We lived together and no one cared. My mom moved to another country with my dad (and lived with him) before they were married, so they were pretty unconcerned
I wondered whether my grandmothers would care, and neither did- they love DH, and one of my grandmothers thought it was a great idea because she said she felt a lot better about my safety with a guy and a dog living there with me.
I'm definitely glad I had independent living situations before I met DH; I've lived by myself, with roommates, in houses, in apartments, etc., and I really liked having had the chance to live alone without family or a partner.
after graduating, moving home and getting a job I introduced DH to my family. We got engaged a year later and married a year after that.
