With the rapid modernization living together has become a common thing, especially in the Western countries. In eastern culture living together is still a big taboo. However, since the whole case scenario is different in the West couple prefers to stay together long before getting married and some as soon as they fall in love.
It is better to have someone to share your sorrow and happiness and love is a great feeling. It is not a safe journey for couples who live together before marriage and considered to be more stressful than being married. The reasons couple decide to live together include economic or practicable reasons, concerns about a long-term commitment, fear of divorce, convenience, to give the relationship a trial run before marriage, lack of faith in marriage as an institution, escape from family home, compromise with partner who doesn’t want to be married, companionship and much more. A recent study suggests that living together increases the potential for divorce.
