[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s interesting to me that this board is very anti-living together before marriage (I have seen it before when this topic came up).

I think living together in a committed relationship is a perfectly valid and even smart thing to do, although I think it’s fair that you have a discussion about your mutual expectations.

Fwiw I lived with my spouse for a couple years before getting engaged and we have been happily married for a long time now. [/quote]

It seems like most people arent saying a ring literally needs to be on her finger, just that is critical that prior to moving in she makes sure that he also wants to spend the rest of his life with her and they have the same expectations on what that means (including timeline).

I also moved in pre-ring on finger, but made sure to have the conversation around what moving in means.  To us moving in = a commitment to get married in the future w/ or w/ out a ring.[/quote]

I don’t really understand what a “timeline” looks like. I can see being committed to someone and maybe having a discussion about kids (depending on how old you are) and maybe having a discussion about being married before kids, but saying “i will move in if we plan to get engaged in the next year” doesn’t really compute.
