[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Living together prior to marriage is apples and oranges to marriage.  No comparison according to people I know who have done both.

Personally, playing house never appealed to me.  Make a commitment or go away.  [/quote]

I do not see any difference between the time we live together before marriage and the time after. What was different was having kids! [/quote]
+1 From an everyday perspective, it's really not that different.   If you keep money separate after you get married, it's not really that much different than living together.  If you have joint accounts before you get married, it's not that much different if you make it official.

My DH and I bought a house together then immediately got engaged. For me, I would only move in with someone if I thought the relationship was headed towards marriage eventually because to me marriage is important. For others, I know that making it official isn't that big of a deal.  But living together is not that different from being married. If you want an out even after you get married, just keep your finances separate and sign a prenup.[/quote]

Your separate accounts become marital property after you marry though.  Unless you have a prenup you are sharing finances and have legal obligations to each other in a way that you never had before you were married.
