Do you believe live-in relationships works better than a marriage?

The econimics of the world seems to have overpowered the purelove and bonding between a man and a woman. A live-in is little more than a fair-weather relationship. Religion and societal pressure gives marriage many chances, but live-in relationships can fall apart like a house of cards under any whim or impulse.
A child needs both, a mother and father in a secure bond that has the sanction of society. To me, a live-in is a shrewd ploy to keep commitments to the minimum. A real relationship calls for adjustments, tolerance and unconditional love

I feel that marriage is surely better as there is a higher level of support and commitment.

there is this pros and cons. it is not good to marry and end up divorcing. and it is not good to stay as couple but are not married. so it depends on the situation. but ideally i say being married is better. but some people are just happy being as live partner but i think they should marry eventually.

That's true, everyone wants to keep their so called freedom & want to get the privileges of the relationship & not the duties.

It all depends. They need to feel the love. If there is love then a relationship is okay. If there is no love then there is marriage then it is non-sense.

Live-in, is looked down upon here for it's cultural implications of immorality. However, I don't intend to have a church wedding, maybe any legal conjugal settlements then that's it. I'm fine with that.

I am thinking yes because a relitionship is offering more freedom beetween more boys and girls and they can stay together long. Marring means maybe later difficulities with money splitting and bigger costs maybe.
