Think about it. :jbhmm: Before you and your s/o get married yall should move in together and test it out for a year or two. Its like a practice session before the big day. That both of you know each other good or nasty habits.:scust: Also know each other mentality when it comes responsibility on bills, hygiene, house mantinence etc. Imma do this when i get my own crib.:ohhh: If i think the girl is the one she can move in with me to see how she realy is. I want to get married one day tho cuz i want my future children to have structure and stability. Our future black children deserve this.:mjcry: So coli brehs and brehettes what yall think of cohabiting before marriage or before the fiance stage? Agree or disagree?

living together is one of the biggest adjustments from just dating to mariage. so i think it can be a good thing
if both parties are likeminded as far as wanting to ultimately get married.
I wouldnt advise anyone to shack up for years with no end in sight.
and i would advise both parties to keep their own shyt and handle their business in case anything should happen
that they are protected. [Ie both names on lease etc.]

The remedy for #GMB is #GPB.

Cohabitation increases the risk for divorce. It probably has to do with the "trial mindset" vs. the "for life" mindset but I am not sure of the actual reason.
What's #GPB?

and couples who live together before marriage skew towards divorce more often than not.

Truth and logic
What's #GPB?

#GPB is the new movement to counter irresponsibility in marriage practices. #GPB is pro marriage, pro family, and pro building.

There are more important things in life than this abstract concept of love and passion. That doesn't mean that these aspects are irrelevant or non existent. It just means they are not the most important factors.

A relationship can be full of love and passion while still having a practical foundation. Love and passion does not pay the bills. It does not raise kids when the kids turn out with a health issue. Love and passion don't make you push through health issues, hormonal changes, stress, unemployment or whatever else life can bring.

This abstract concept of love and passion can be fickle and fleeting. It is not the proper foundation for a marriage.

I love my husband very much but that alone is not why I married him. And that alone isn't why he married me either. We are better together than apart. We each bring something that is necessary in order to live the life we want to live. Could we do it alone? I guess, but why?

We respect each others roles. We have the same values. We want similar things out of life. We enjoy each others company. We love each other. We are attracted to each other.

Get priorities brehs.

#GPB

I dont think its necessary if you are really getting to know a person on more than a superficial level. Does it hurt, depends, once you've gotten a sample of something if there is anything at all you dont like about it your probably not gonna want to buy it.

I also think its helps you understand just how big an adjustment going from having your own space to sharing it will be. It a hella of a difference, especially for those like me who really just like my own space sometimes.
