This whole category is wrong, marriage asks for trust, communication and honesty, live-in also asks for the same. Is marriage more no is live in m ore no. It has to do with 2 people and their hearts. We all capitalize on marriage what it should be and our culture is preserved in all ways when we live according to our culture and give each other those rights. What does culture have to do with living together,its bad its against indian culture the west is forgetting the roots, when a man beats his wife where does our culture come in. We all try to run, when women die evryday somewhere by the hands of a man or get abused where is the culture the strong indian culture. We are forgetting living in sin is in God's eyes not human eyes. I believe that marriage is strong and should be and I also believe that live in is strong its the meeting of the hearts. We should never say one is less degrading than the other because we all have feelings and sometimes what is best for us depends on us. We are in control of our lives not culture. life is love, trust, communication, and honesty thats what is in a marriage and thats what is in a live in if we all were to follow. Let's leave culture out when culture has its faults that for generations has been hidden.
