Are Live-in Relationships better than Marriage?

In my opinion live in relationship is not better than marriage. Like science rules live in relationship applies to ideal world. But it never has been the perfect and ideal. In live in rel. If one partner betrays the other one the other will be helpless then. He/she can't do anything about it. Marriages are the most secure method. It gives you the right to speak against the partner who deceives. And it supports our culture and makes life disciplined. One learns being responsible.

So I support the marriage.

i just want to comment on "Azeez said: (Mon, Jul 19, 2010 02:23:40 PM" . he's bike example
azeez think yourself as the bike , and someone bought u now that guy is replacing u because u have some flows or defects. that time you r not the subject n u become the object. if u r thinkin for others ,others will also think of u.
in india marriage is not always the love ,it's about understanding and accepting others with there flows.one should peep in his own mind ,before commenting on others. i think in live in relations such respect will not be there. and so my support is to "marriage"

i think so this live-in relation does not suits our cultural heritage. only the married life will give us the full comfortability. a live-in relation is like a ship without a radder. only when he or she gets married they will understand the real life. this life alone gives them life long support and security. this life alone makes them to face the society boldly.

Everything has its pros and cons. But according to me the advantages of marriage are much more than those in live-in relationships. It is not always necessary that two unknown individuals marry each other. If one wants to understand the other person there are many other ways rather than going in for live-in relationships. They can meet each other regularly and speak their heart out. Only when they feel comfortable should they marry. Thus, the security and commitment from both parties can be assured in marriage as well as disadvantages of live-in relationships can be done away with. Marriages are better than live-in relationships.

Live in relationship has become todays trend. It is a fact that this has stareted in India also. But it will never hav a value of a married life. Married life is really a commitment you make with your life partners. But in current world if you see marriage also has become a live in relationship. It is like a ship, which can even sink in between or it can reach the shore. If we see in both cases we don't have any guarantee of the life.

Hi this is Jarold...I will go to marriage life..Because our wife will care more about us than anyone..Other relationship means just they will look us and say hai. But our wife will care more about us and she will live for us.So marriage life is best than other relationship.

According to me no not at all. As its just killing and spoiling our Indian culture and heritage. This type of relationship spoils the life of girls mainly as in future they becomes unable to decide what they should do with their life. Should they marry and develop their family or not ? if they marry will their life be as normal as it should be.

Hey ! my friend jim how you can say that kamasutra is our culture you are looking to only one side of it, you are not looking to the richest culutre of the world where lord rama, lord krishna were born. Still as compare to live in relationship or love marriges the percentage of arrange marriges is far better this is only beacuse arrange marrige give you security and trust, while in live ins we have seen that couples broke over a minute dispute which can be solved but is not so in arrange marriges.

No. I dont agree with the concept of live in relationship. Though you may sound me conservative butve indian are born and bought in the culture where we give more importance to our custom, culture and relation. we have seen or heard from our parent and grandparents that they use to marry even though that had not seen each other also but still the marriage was successful. Any relationship needs trust and understanding and people go for live in relationship thinking that they will be able to undertand each other but in livin you dont have any security and it means a lot in any relationship . live in relationship inderectly means no commitment , not ready to take any responsibilites.

What culture? I hate the fact that KAMASUTRA originated from India but when we talk about sexuality, we start talking about 'holy' culture. KAMASUTRA was our culture.

Now, my opinion is - let it be to your choice. If I like it or I met with a situation where I had to live-in, don't judge me. I agree with Riya. I am a modern man. I will have girl friends before marriage. Sex is there in a relationship. The only difference in live-in is we are staying together. Having said that, people in live-in should be really have a strong opinion on what they want, because there might be emotional attachments and heart breaks later on. But even long term awesome relationships might develop even from live-ins. So "live and let live" is my agenda.
