Getting married before living together .

[Eternal]

i didnt live with my husband before we were married.

Its difficult getting used to having someone around in "your space" but I dont see how that affects your relationship. yes it takes time to get used to each others ways, but isnt that what marriage is about? taking two people and making them as one? thats how it works for us anyway!

My husband and I didn't live together, or indeed in the same state, before we were married! I've lived with two boyfriends in the past, and I know that one of those relationships would have ended regardless, and the other may have lasted if we were older and married, as we would have worked harder to stay together if we'd been married. It really depends on the people involved, and living with someone whether it's before or after marriage requires the same amount of sacrifice, compromise and courtesy or the relationship isn't going to work. My husband and I are still ironing out the bumps in our marriage, and it will take awhile to get everything comfortable yet since we're living with his parents atm. I think we would have split already during a bad fight if it was still easy, but we've made vows to each other and are committed to making this work (barring extreme circumstances, of course). So for us, this was the best route, but it's different for everyone!

we lived together for 3 years before marrying.

I think you never know someone until you live together!
