Welived together for over a year (and even had Hailey ). My parents wanted us to be married but still wanted us to move at our own pace and do what we felt was best for us. So, yes, they approved.
The in-laws
Not even close. I was always reminded that I would be going to Hell for it.

We did and our parents didn't have a problem with it. Or at least if they did, they kept their mouths shut.

Nope. We didn't.
We bought our house 6 months before we were married and my father STILL had a problem if I slept over before we were married.

Nope. My mother had hissies if I slept over - she even had the nerve to bring it up in front of my oldest brother once - he promptly reminded her that HE had lived with Trudy almost a year before they got married

We are and have been for a year, and continue to. We will have lived together for two and a half years when the wedding gets here.

And if the family doesn't like it, they haven't said anything...

Jason and I lived together for 10 months before we got married. Neither his mom nor my parents had a problem with it, in fact my parents said it was a good idea.

Melanie, that is what I perfer for Alisha too. To live with a person she feels that this may be the one and find the in's and out's of the person as much as she can. I know that sounds strange but with my parents failed marriage and Dh parents have a hard time, even if they are together still and of course there is Jimmy and I, sometimes we do not do so good.

Jimmy and I did live together and, my mom was fine with it my dad was a little ify and then I had to stop him and remind him he did it.

Nope, since we were both in the military and stationed across the country together, we didn't live together until after we'd been married several months. That was tough. My family has never approved of him regardless.

my family thought it was a good idea. We lived together for about 7 or 8 months before we were married. We were already engaged though.

We lived together for something like two years before we got married. If anyone had a problem, they didn't say so.

We did not live togehter. If we had, both my parents and his parents would have had a problem with it. (We were both raised in very religious families)

We lived together first, and I am sure no one liked it, but we were adults, so they kept their mouths shut.

We lived together for almost a month before we got married cuz our apartment was ready. No, they didn't approve but they didn't give us much crap over it either. They knew we weren't virgins before the wedding anyway

No, we did not live together first. We both decided against it since I had ds from a previous relationship (fiancee, actually, and we did live together, but it didn't work out. That was another reason why I didn't want to.)

We lived together for around eight months during which time I got pregnant with the twins. My mom nicely suggested perhaps we should get married before they were born Otherwise I think both her and my dad we ok with what we were doing.

Matt kind of moved into my parents house with me in May 2000. Because I was due in late June with Austin so he wanted to be around. Then we lived together until September 2001 before we got married..

Well, yes, we are now. His mother lives with us, so I would say she has no problem with it at all. My family, well, we don't talk. Even if we did, it wouldn't matter to me whether they approved or not. They aren't living with him, I am. Hopefully someday we will get married.

We didn't live together but I spent the nights with him sometimes or sometimes didn't get home until 2am-3am in the morning. My mom had a lot of fits over that and did not approve of how our relationship was going and really freaked out when I told her we were getting married 2 months after we met. Let's just say that his family showed up at the wedding and mine didn't. That is how bad it was.

We are all cool now and get along but we had my family and a couple of people from his church that were strongly against us. It was a horrible time for us because of the opposition but we went ahead and did what we thought was right at that time. We're still together so we must have did something right

Sometimes you've just gotta follow your heart, Cheryl! I'm glad you've worked out things with your family and that Steve and you and still happily together.

Let me think... we started dating in December 1987... I moved into his house in December 1992... and we got married in November 1995. So we lived together for almost 3 years before we got married. We had separate bedrooms set up, but I'm sure no one was naive enough to really believe we were sleeping alone.

When we were dating and I was still living with my parents, he always insisted that I go home before morning, so frequently, I'd be home at 3 or 4 in the morning. Briefly I lived in an apartment, and then he was OK with me staying overnight. When I moved back to my parents' house, he told me that I couldn't stay overnight anymore, so I told him I wasn't going to come over in the evening anymore - my parents were OK with me staying, so long as they had a way to reach me. He gave in.

Yup, we started dating July 4th, 1999 and we moved in together in October b/c he didn't have a place to stay at the time. We were already engaged though....so it was all good. My folks flipped b/c I'm LDS and that's a No-NO to live w/ someone before your married. What can I say...I've got a rebellious soul.

We did. My mom didn't care. I lived with a previous boyfriend. I don't know if John's mom minded but he had lived with someone before also. I guess I figured I am 28 years old, and whether you like it or not, that is what I am doing.
