I also think 同居 could be a very good "pre-wedding" progress for serious couples to try out whether they can really work together before getting married. However, they have to face some possible consequents such as, object by their parents (bigger change on the gal's side); in case they can't work out, then should they keep the progress to live with another potential partner over and over again until success? Then other people (their families, relatives and friends...) might think they're just too open minded to live with someone easily.
If your parents, brothers and/or sisters have different personality, different interest, different taste of food, different habit ..... to you, or even make you angry sometimes, but you know they deeply love you inside their hearts, they also try to cheer you and care you whenever you need..., would you be that mean and picky to them and choose to hate them or even to move out? I also agree, if you can treat your serious other half as one of your family member, chance of working out would be a lot greater. |
