I have been married for almost a year and a half. We dated for about 3 years before that, and stayed together most of that time. We didn't technically live together (my parents would have freaked out), but I do consider it living together since I stayed with him every chance I could. I think it is important to take that step if you plan on being together for real. It is important to see if you can tolerate all the little habits and the way the other person lives.

Married. The only way I would have it. If he loves me enough to live with me, he loves me enough to live with me with the blessings of marriage.

I am divorced. I was married for about 8 years, we only dated for about a month before living together and then maybe another 3 months before getting married.

I have been with my current boyfriend for 2.5 years. We dated over a year before moving in together. No plans of marriage at this time.

I have been happily married since May 28, 2010. Me and the love of my life were dating for about 3 months when we decided that marriage was a great idea. Next May will be our second anniversary and I don't regret it one bit. My husband is the greatest husband in the world. I guess it's up to the person what's right for them. As long as your happy doesn't matter if your married or living together.

Whatever works for you, more power to you.  However, there are numerous legal benefits with marriage.

Sure. Why would you want the tax breaks or other benefits any way.

My girlfriend and I have been together for 5 years. Although we are engaged we really don't plan on having a wedding for a while yet. We basically live together, so marriage won't really change anything.
