Should a couple live together before getting married?

It's a yes or no question to me.

"depends" is to much of a grey area
should a couple live together if saaaay... one of them happened to of killed the previous person they lived with... nahhh
.
i think its pretty cut and dry
Yes or No

I agree with Adam and Esperanto here.

If it were in terms of the law or other types of compulsion, I'd agree, but I think as phrased it's clear that it's just, "In your opinion, all other things being equal, is it better or worse for a couple to live together before they get married...?"

The, "It depends" is kind of wishy washy. Plus, in a discussion, everyone understands there are some people who shouldn't live together if the boyfriend's a psychopath or immature. The issue really is if this is ever a good thing or not. That there are sometimes it isn't is a given.

You might be right but I think the idea is that the third response should have to specifically deal with the makeup of every individual couple.  You can think a couple SHOULD live together, you could think a couple SHOULD NOT live together or you could think that a couple SHOULD or SHOULD NOT live together based on who they are as individuals.  Or perhaps the third answer should be "this is not a decision that should be made by someone outside of the couple" kind of thing.

Doesn't it kind of go without saying that this is the couple's choice? To me, the third choice is amply covered by "Yes," because I don't think anyone will be expressing the opinion that a couple should live together against their will.

Yeh, there should be an option for "It's a personal choice" or "upto the couple"

I agree with Jacki.  Something like, "It's a personal choice" or "It depends on the couple".

i wonder if we should have an option such as:  "it's a couple's choice" or something like that ...

I like it!
