Live Together Before Marriage

Living together before marriage is a one of social problem in Korea. This problem is mentioned and debated many times. How do you think about this problem?

Before marriage, they can know personality and their love each other, and they can always be together and save money. Even it has advantage and I don’t have a partial point of view, I have a different opinion about living together before marriage. If I have a boyfriend, I will think about living together once a time. But I can’t do that, because I have to think about my family and my future. As I know, compared with Korea, America or other countries are common. And they have the law about living together. On the other hand, some people have a partial point of view about living together before marriage. Even though many people’s view is changed, until now the old have a bad point of view, because of China’s culture. Long time ago, Korea’s culture is effect from China’s Confucian ideas. Korea still has Confucian ideas.

These days, near university there are many studio apartments. Some people lived together to save money and to be satisfied with love life. Some people are too young, so they can’t control their behaviors. In addition, sexual life also can fall into disorder. It might be dangerous. After living together, many problems can happen. On the assumption that one couple live together, although a woman become pregnant, a man don’t want to get marry. In this case, they might not get married. They may break up or the woman will go to the hospital to abort her baby. Finally they will be unhappy. In Korea, there are many single moms, orphans and there are not enough institutions. There isn’t the definite law about living together. For that reason, this problem became big issue.

How can we solve this problem? I think that living together have to protect by the law. As previously stated, other country has the law about live together. Living together must have provided in the law by government. I think if the law of living together is provided strongly, it will be better than before.
