How do you feel about living together before marriage?
Megan Williams
"It's fine because it's the way that two people get to know each other better."
Dennis Lowrey
"I don't see what harm it would cause. If you're planning to get married and spend the rest of your life with someone, then you need to know if you can stand that person."
Seojin Kang
"I think it's fine. Living with someone is different than just dating someone. Living together lets you see if you could spend the rest of your life with that person."
Sami Puthoff
"It's necessary to see if it will work out. If two people don't live together before they get married, they might see that they cannot spend the rest of their lives together and may end up having to get a divorce."
