There are many advantages and disadvantages to living together before

marriage. But I that young people should live together before marriage because I
believe that all couples should be advised to live together before marriage. As a
couple living together, they can learn to grow and understand each other.
Firstly, I firmly believe that such a step prevents a significant number of
quarrels and divorces. While young people date, they are not involved in the day-
to-day routine. Living together tests the strength of people’s relationships and
allows one to see if one can stand beloved’s annoying habits. For example,
according to the statistics, 2/3 of Americans believe that moving in together before
marriage is an excellent way to avoid divorce. Therefore, it is much better to end
the relations during dating rather than after marriage.
Secondly, I guess that prohibition of sex and other close relations before
marriage has been made by the religion and national traditions. Fortunately,
nowadays, being unchaste is not a sin anymore. That is why joint-life gives a
chance to realize whether or not a person might spend the rest of life with their
current partner. For example, in all developed countries, the church does not affect
people on the problem of communal life without marriage, leading to the complete
absence of moral condemnation. Thus, if a couple strives to live together, nobody
will sentence them.
To conclude, before making such an essential step like marriage, partners
should try to know each other better and live together if they would like to.
