hi,

What do you all think? which is better, a live-in-relationship or marriage? Let’s see both sides of the coin.

Well, I don believe in live in relationships. But then live in relationships do have their benefits. Sometimes a person may feel cheated with such relationships. Not only that they can not retain trust on the other fellow to its fullest, since there is no bond like marriage.

Living in relationships can help a person to decide whether he can spend his whole life with a particular person or not. In ancient India only parents had the right to decide spouse for their children. Many a times person may not have seen the face of the person he/she is going to marry! Many people end up marrying a wrong person and then cry for the whole life. After all we have only one life to live and we should live it to the fullest. But yes, having a child after living in relationships can be detrimental for the child. One shoud not go for such life long responsibilities from living relationships. Living relationships can be a pre- requirement to marriage but not an ultimate aim. Once whem a person finds his/her mate quite comfortable, then that should be an end to live in relationship and beginning of a marriage.
