I do not think this will ever work at all. Even Indian living in the US still do not accept Western Cultures to be infilterated into their ideologies. It is right to know each other as far as possible before tying the knot but for this you do not have to live in the same room & have a sexual affair which is bound to happen. Lets not become like the Westerners who even meet their parents only on Fathers/Mothers Day. It is necessary to have a healthy relationship rather than a flirty one.

The reason westerners visit their parents only once a year is that they are independent and are encouraged very early in their lives to live separately and independently. In the west boys and girls live separately from the age of 16, their parents encourage them to get on with thyeir lives and they get on with theirs. There a lot of jobs available for them stating from working in gas stations, pizza shops, waiting tables etc. Indians stick with their parents till early to mid twenties out of necessity my friend .. because typically an Indian graduates at the age of 22-23 and then he/she takes another 2-3 years minimum to settle down properly. Don't think Indians love their parents more than westerners, it is just that they are compelled by lack of income/lack of career choices and the pampering that they get for free. And I want to ask you a question, is it ok if an Indian male brings home a wife and has sex in the room next to their parents in the same house? Why not stay separately, be independent and be a real 'MAN'? It is time to develop a spine, my good friend!
