Hi!!!! The entire concept of live -ins suits the western people and we indian are far behind accepting these things. Yet the youth today is of the opinion that Live Ins shall be helpful for them to understand their partners. If it just to understand your partner there are many other things like talking on phone, chatting or spending sme quality time with them.

For understanding whether to live wit a person or not will we have to go against our society. We being part and parcel of our society should never mess up with such things. For any realtion to be successful we will have to sacrifice a little so same is the same with marriages also. But we people today dont wanna sacrifice anything and wanna have fun too which is may things worse.

So what basically we should understand is its not like in live ins u understand your partner which will add up for a successful marrigae. Live ins dont make successful marriages but little compromise and trust makes it. So the entire idea of live in relationship has to be eradicated.

I would like to say that marriages are better when compared to living relationships. Because, Indian marriage system consists of set of rules and regulations say register marriage or traditional marriage. Where as, for living relationships there is no rules and regulations and if any thing happens unpredictable in future, there is no third party involvement. Also, now a days people are just quiting themselves for small reasongs and especially this is more with livings.

So guys i would say, go for nice traditional marriage and live your life happily.
Nothing danger happens if you love your better-half after marriage.

Hi friends, we cannot forecast that marriage is better or live in relation for someone. Its depend our personal choice and apathy. If both patner want to live together it doesn't affect are they married or not, because they are assured to each other. I oppose the my frinds who says in marriage we can't live our partner. If spouse doesnot under stand each other it will create woe.

We can't say our culture does not allow this, as you know we are going to be western so we should try to adopt it as early as possible. If you talk about our culture it refrain the women liberty.

There are so many assumption people are keep in his\her mind that living relationship is wrong or write but according to me every thing's has some write or wrong points.

So wrong point to words live in relation ship that. You unable to create a social relation's, back ground (family) support and some time some or more economy problems are to be comes.

Which all problem's not yet come on arrange marriage. If you have strong economy position then you can but not for longer time because your mentality agree that men and women can free after some time if they don't like to each other. If you are in live in relation ship suppose you(women) got pregnant then after breaking the child future are insecure. So you can better decide your better future.

No,Live-in relationship are not at all better than marriages because in live in relationship there is no commitment.One person can leave his/her partner any time.There is no life time assurance that ur partner will always support u at any moment of life.It may happen that ur partner is living wid u only because of some kind of infatuation and after some time when that infatuation is over then he/she can leave u.Bt in marriages there is a commitment and also law of our country supports Marriages.they dont support live in relationships.So if a person who is married to u leaves u or tries to marry someone else then u can challenge him/her in court also.But in live in relations u cant do so.So I beleive that live in relations dont offer any guarranty but marrriages are like a bond or commitment between 2 people and their families

This is not our culture at all. So why should we discuss on Western culture?.

See the real fact is that human's are social animal and they need someone to love and pamper them. Many people say love happens only once, but I completely disagree to this point, it is never so. There is no point in telling that it is not our culture basically how long can you keep your culture this closed way? Things are changing in rapid space.

No one have time for each other every one is busy in their own life. So why interfere in peoples life when they want in that way. And if this is the way a boy and girl want to keep their relation then they would be allowed. In other case also they would have all kind of relations. So why just in front of others they should not go in a live in thinking of their image in society.

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.

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.

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.
