Why do you encourage low moral values?

There’s nothing immoral about 2 legal adults choosing to live their lives together, and have lots of sex, without the permission of the county clerk. Grow up.

- spend some time with your future in-laws -- few days is fine
- go on a trip, preferably abroad, to some place with a language barrier so you can see how they deal with stress and ppl who can't understand them
- home improvement/cooking
- see how your partner is around kids if you're interested in having some (some people dislike all kids but their own, so may not work, but I didn't want someone like that anyway)

I spent time with my in-laws and I found that it didn't make a difference. My MIL did a complete 180 once married. As a girlfriend my MIL was still running my husband's life as he was living at home. Once we got married she thought she would still run it and it caused massive problems. I have since learned that a lot of MIL's are like this. Everything is fine until after the wedding and then they panic for some reason.

Your mistake was marrying an adult man who was living at home.

Or at least an adult man who let his mom do that

We still do and been happily together for 12 years.

Excellent. I’ve always thought if married couples did this on a regular basis it would really bond them.

I’d say it has for us. Totally comfortable with each other. No hang ups.

Work on a project together. If you plan on having kids, you have to make a good team.

I'm a Christian and I know for a fact my wife and I wouldn't have gotten married if there was sex before marriage. Things have been complicated in that area. We are staying together because we are Christian and the rest of our marriage is great.

Marriage is about mutual submission and sacrifice. People don't understand this.

sounds fun, you aren't being intimate, You hate it, but are staying together for the kids. you're a martyr good for you. trust me the kids know. you aren't doing them any favors by staying together.

Mutual submission and sacrifice... I'm sorry for you, your spouse and your family if that how you view marriage.
