Yep. We moved in together a couple weeks after we got engaged. I actually moved halfway across the country with him.

No. We didnt love together until we're married. We both come from traditional and conservative families.

Yes, we did! One month before we were engaged.

Yup! Couldn't imagine it any other way. I needed time to get used to the idea he leaves his dirty clothes everywhere and needs me to change his towels

Yep, we lived together for almost two years before getting engaged and 3.5 before getting married.

Yes - we bought a house together before we were engaged. We knowingly out off an engagement/wedding for the house downpayment

We actually bought a house before we got engaged. For our circumstance the timing was right. The market was ideal and I knew an engagement was coming. Signing those mortgage papers was almost as big of a commitment in my mind as signing our marriage license.

Yeah! We lived together a year before getting engaged and we were engaged for a year before getting married.

Yep. Kind of before we were engaged. We were long distance while I was in college and i spent almost every weekend at his place. Then when I graduated, I moved in with him.

Yepp. We bought a house together after we'd been together for 6 months. @mrsjyw: I always thought that would be a really sweet opportunity to propose!

We had been dating 2 years before we moved in together. Our parents were less then pleased.
watermelon / 14467 posts
No. I come from a traditional family who would not approve, and my college scholarships required that I live on campus (there was no married housing).
GOLD / papaya / 10206 posts
Yep, we moved out in our early 20's, stayed in a couple of apartments, got engaged then bought our house.
watermelon / 14206 posts
Yep. Much to my parents dismay. In fact when we moved in together we moved from nc to fl for 7 months...with my ds! We had only been dating 5 months but we talked about moving in together after dating a month.
I didn't live with my ex until we were married and I felt like I walked into a trap. I hated living with him. If I had known that before I would not have married him.

Nope!
Infact we didn't even know where we were going to live until the week of the wedding! (apt/houses here where we live are SUPER hard to come by).

I had my own apartment where he basically lived with me (but technically had a room at his parents). We did buy a house after we got engaged and moved in before we were married. I'm sure my parents weren't pleased but it worked
blogger / coconut / 8306 posts
Only for a few months. We got an apartment together about three months before our wedding.

Yes, before we were engaged. We both come from conservative, religious families, too, and no one really approved. My family especially. My brother even tried to convince me to move in with him and his family (wife and 3 daughters), across the state, just to avoid "living in sin". I would've had to leave my job, my boyfriend, my entire life basically. Yeah, no thanks.

Nope. I own a house with my sister and we lived together until I got married.

we moved in together after we got engaged. it was great timing, too, since I also got a job closer to his place at that time.
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
It was after we got engaged because I took a job in another city and he moved with me.
pineapple / 12793 posts
Yep. My lease ran out and I wasn't planning on staying where we were after grad school. His lease had a few months left, so we had a summer of love. And then I wouldn't live with him again until he proposed.
olive / 73 posts
Yes, but we were together for several years before moving in together and getting engaged. I can't imagine not living with someone before marriage!

Much to my parents dismay, we lived in sin for about five years before we got married. We also owned a house and had a dog before we got engaged.
