To me, I believe cohabitation helps to give you a glimpse of who your partner is…. No one can hide his or her character for long 🤷🤷🤷
Just find out if you can cope with his or her flaws.
👍
Cohabitation is not a bad idea o😎
It a matter of understanding
It is important to cohabit with your partner before marriage, it helps to know each other more
👍
It’s a no no
👍
I am neutral on this o 😂😀
To be sincere morally it is wrong but not having an idea of who your partner truly is can lead to challenges in marriage.
👍
With the high rate of divorce, I feel it will help you get to know the person you are settling down with better before marriage.
👍
Base on traditional belief, morals and religion its a No for me…. Though cohabitation helps to know more abt our partners but its isn’t a good idea since we are not married yet

Cohabiting is contemporary and solves our century queries.. unless ones partner is not contemporary hence cohabiting.
👍
Going by the norms and traditions, it is unacceptable. But personally it is necessary to know your partner more before getting married. While Cohabiting with your partner, it shouldn’t be every single time so as to still know your worth. Maybe weekends is okay
👍
Morally it’s bad, but personally I think it’s the best so you can understand your partner well and know his or her attitude if it’s what you can put up with when you’re finally married.
👍
For me I don’t believe in tradition because it’s man made. Our tradition does not make us rather we make it.
I’ve seen lots of Nigeria who married to a non- Nigerian living in harmony without bothering what tradition each of them belong.
We need to wake up from the slumber of tradition that keep us apart as brothers keepers.
The only tradition I believe in is the tradition of being good, sincerity, living in harmony and above all being human.
👍
Morally it’s wrong
If we’re already cohabiting what’s the fun or essence of marriage?
It reduces the worth of the lady before the guy, the guy can presume that when you have issues you can just jump into the next available guys house
👍
Come, let’s cohabit so I can tell if I can or not. Call it my experiment 😁
👍
NO!
I won’t advice anybody to do that and I won’t do that either.
The lady can for instance visit the guy with the knowledge of her parents for weeks or at most a month to better understand themselves.
Anything more than this is a big setup.
👍
It is a NO for me
Cohabitation exposes the intending partners to having sex before marriage, which is not the will of God for marriage (Bed Undefiled)
Also no matter the extent of cohabitation, person wey wan pretend go still pretend.
Be sensitive to the Holyspirit for direction.
He tells tell you the state of things beyond the physical eye can predict.
(This is to be applied in all areas of life)
You guys can have discussions …. go on a date, outings, a walk, but don’t put yourself in a position that would make you compromise
📌
Cohabitation is a very big setup, from a statistical standpoint.
see, no go fall for igbo man trap o 🌚
👍
I would cohabit to better understand compatibility and shared responsibilities.
👍
I can’t.I mean I can’t give u everything before u actually pay for it LOL but will I call it a bad idea? Not really.
👍
Can and will… better to have a glimpse of what you’re really getting yourselves into, coz those weekends you spend over just don’t cut it when it comes to knowing a person for who they really are. Still tho, everyone should sha do what works for them
Not totally bad but it has to have a time limit
👍
Although it has become “The order of the day” in our society …
House I no get
Partner I no see
How I want take answer dis question now 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Morally, its definitely wrong. I for one can not be in support of cohabiting with your partner before marriage. You can live with your partner for ten years and never exhaust knowing them. Some married people who have been in the game for 20 years and above will tell you that they are still learning new things about their spouse. Marriage is an institution you can’t graduate from. Cohabiting with your partner before marriage is wrong. Let’s not sugarcoat things!
👍
Na who get good character fit cohabit😩
One night wey I go stay them fit pursue me before day break
On a serious note, cohabiting is not a yes but spending time at your partner place give you the privilege to know him or her in proxy
👍
Bad Idea
For me, it’s a no. Bad idea
👍
Getting to know more about your partner before marriage is a very important thing …so for it is a YES!
👍
