I don't really see the difference between getting hitched and living together.

 

It seems pretty much the same thing.. unless as a non muslim you just want to see if he/she is any good in bed.  But then you don't have to live together to test the waters out now do ya.

 

I guess I should clarify myself here.. in that if the committment is loong..then whats wrong with making a promise to each other.. of marriage.. and ever lasting love... as opposed to just living together in limbo.

 

For me.. if I have someone.. I'd want it to be forever.  And if we were completely different.. then hopefully we would both want to make it work and compromise so we can get on together and raise our children.  

 

the idea of breaking up a relationship is almost the same feeling as someone dying and never seeing them again. How can we love someone one minute and not the next. It all sounds very very fickle!
