No, it's fine. You've been together a very long time. Why not make things more convenient?

NO, it is not morally wrong. In fact, I almost think it should be a must for couples to live together a few years before they even talk about marriage. There are many people that are religious that will totally disagree with this, and I can understand your parents are probably just looking after you. HOWEVER, you are getting first hand experience of what it will be like to live with your boyfriend and possibly future hubsand. Over a million divorces happen each year to married people because once they moved in together it just wasnt the same as it used to be. If you live together beforehand, it will help you in the long to run to see if this is something that can work permamently. You have been with him three years so this isn't just some fly by night relationship. If you and him feel ok with it, then it definitely is.

Depends on what you think is considered "morally". My Grandmother is 70 years old and has been married twice and she has been married to the same man for almost 45 yrs. She is always telling all 14 of her grandchildren to live with someone first and then get married because you wont know how someone is 24/7 until you live with them. And to be honest I agree. I've been with my boyfriend for two and a half years. I say it's the best thing I've ever done.

As a Christian, yes. Technically. Then again, sex was the consumation of marriage in ancient Hebrew society. Finally, I've lived with my boyfriend of 2 years for the past year. He's a bit older than me, I'm 21, and he wouldn't marry a woman without living with her first. Now, we are getting married so it turned out to be legit. However, some men might use phoney balogna...

I dont think it is wrong. Parents seem to be old fashioned sometimes. They want that marrige certificate saying that you are together for life and then they think you can live together and be MORAL?! But these days..all that a marrige is...is 2 people commiting to eachother..and hoping they can make it last. Personally, I plan to live with my boyfriend BEFORE we get married, because I want to be sure that we can make it work.
I dont think you are doing anything wrong, and I wish you 2 the best. Good luck dealing w the rents

Yah if you been living together for 3 years, but your parents still disagree with it. The living together issue is not the problem they have. It's somthing else about him they dont like.

You two are doing nobody any harm by living together, right? And you're not breaking any law. That's all that counts. So if you want to live together, that is none of your parents' business.
