New research at the University of Warwick, United Kingdom, claims married men and women derive satisfaction from their spouse's happiness unlike those people who live together without marriage.

Nick Powdthavee, who carried out the study, looked into the lives of 9,704 married individuals and found a married person is significantly happier in life if his/ her partner is leading a cheerful life.

He found no sign of such an effect on couples who are cohabiting.

The research reveals the institution of marriage induces the habit of sharing among spouses who not only share their material belongings; they also try to be part of every aspect of each other's life through smooth and rough times.

What do you think about Live in Relationships as this trend is catching up in Metros and more n more couples are living together before marriage

There seem to be various perspectives. Sometimes people say they want to see what it's like living with this person before they do something as serious as marriage. Under that consider some people believe in divorce while others do not. Others will live together, and consider themselves partners for decades and still not get married. Then others just... well... it's taboo to do so, either way. I think it all falls under the ideal that marriage is that "huge "step" people take, couples take and so they feel they have a duty to be nice and happy with their partners. Honestly, regardless if you're married or not, your partners happiness, the main/major surrounding you have in your life - when you get home the first face you see, what affects your life in every way - should certainly be a huge issue! Why not care if they are happy or not? Guess what... you not caring is what makes them unhappy, hence you are unhappy, hence the relationship goes to junk, hence more and more people follow this trend, hence less and less people come to terms with simply being kind - whether it's your partner or your wife! If you know you are going to be seeing someone, more than for the next 2 minutes, why be unkind? All it is is a huge reflection of yourself! There is a saying that "birds of a feather, flock together." I say be kind to people. You want to feel great, loved, appreciated? Do the same for your partner.

No the Indian society is not ready for livein relationships..

Most parents will have a fit if they came to know theier son or daughter is living with some one

Yeh youngsters dont mind and here in Delhi there are so many students who live with their partners but this is not very widespread.

ya if you talk about delhi then khirki extn and sheikh sarai near malviya nagar are full of live in relations, where you can go and live without being asked like with whome you are living and what is the relation. It is really very open now but still our society is not willing to accept it.
I know few of my friends who are in livin relation and they really feel good about this decision and even i don't found this to be a bad idea at all coz this can give you a good time and chance to understand your partner.

Live in relationships r kool... I personally b'lieve Gals can b better friends or roomies than boys... One just has to take the courage to live it atleast once... Live in relationships has its obvious benefits over marriage such as space, choice & just personal responsibility... Since the Supreme Court has givn it a status at par with marriage, there hardly exists any difference for me, I mite as well go in for matrimony as my parents b'lieve in that...

Live in is a very practical arrangement since pre-marital sex doesn’t remain an issue with the youth today and such an arrangement doesn’t tie you up like in the case of marriage...

The pros and cons of both arrangements hv always been before us, its just that we dont fear the consequences nemore... For those who b'lieve its a cultural violation it wud never gain respect and for those who are moving with the times, “It is part of life and it’s ever changing face!!”
Either ways the choice is urs and urs alone. Like it’s said, “Nothing is right or wrong: Thinking makes it so”...

It is just a matter of perception, one can take a marriage as a live-in arrangement or have a live-in like marriage...

Yeah, I agree with u on that... The institution of marriage is a very old concept... If we were to go back in time, we wud not only find matrimony but even polygamy, a practice that thankfully is no more a part of our culture. Its hard to deny a fact that in a country like ours, family plays a huge role and marriage seemingly is the stepping stone or rather the foundation of nurturing this concept...

But the traditional arguments and beliefs hvnt been able to restrain the current fast paced generation from finding a convenient solution... ‘Live-in’, a concept initially viewed as one of the adverse affects of westernization has now carved a niche in sum strata of the society. Its no more a mere rebellious statement made by young adults but a mature decision...

Though such a relationship or an arrangement has always been under the ethical radar and vigil of so called moral police of society, these days it is just a matter of saving money for many... Sharing a room with a gal/boy nowadays doesn’t necessarily mean one involving a sexual, emotional connection but it just might be more on a platonic level that helps a working professional increase his/her savings...

Indian society wont welcome this.......
As a youth many of us would welcome this.....
Think from a parent's point of view....
Would you allow ur daughter or son (If you have) in such a relationship....

As I already said... World changing fast dude... Some things might not b in our control when the next generation shows up... & if I ever become a parent, I wudn't like to take control of such things which will be beyond my reach...

Its all about ur perception of things buddy... U either like it, or hate it... I'm one of the formers...
