More and more people are choosing to live 
together prior to—or instead of—marriage. 
Why? Perhaps they are trying to answer the 
question,

00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:23,300
“How do I know if I should marry this person?” 
They think living together will provide the 
answer of whether or not a marriage will 
last.

00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:29,600
The reality, however, is marriage is about 
so much more than whether or not you can 
live together.

00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:38,500
Marriage is a commitment to trust each other 
and love each other through life, no matter 
what comes your way. As Dave Willis stated,

00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:44,300
“A strong marriage requires loving your spouse 
even in those moments when they aren’t being 
lovable…

00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:51,300
believing in them even when they struggle 
to believe in themselves.” I’m Mac Hammond,
