Tony / Mozambique
I think people should live together because by living together, you tend to find out, like the qualities in the partner that you want. And before marriage, it's important to confirm those qualities by living together.
Antoinette / United States
I don't think men and women should live together before marriage. I think that they should make every effortto know each other, but I don't think they should live together. I guess more because of moral reasons, my own beliefs, religious beliefs. I think that you can get to know someone, you know your friends, you can get to know them, your girlfriends or your male friends, even though they don't live with you. So, I don't think there's a need to live together before marriage.
Sarah / England
People should definitely live together before they get married. You don't really know if you're going to live with someone until you actually do. You don't really know the real person until you've lived with them and see them at their best and their worst moments. So, I think if you're going to get married and spend the rest of your life with someone, I think you should see them in all aspects of life before you take that plunge.
Isma / Indonesia
I think it depends on the couple and the culture. For me, I don't think so, because it's not official yet that you're married, and it's not like my culture to live before you get married. It's usually you get married and then you live together, so I don't think I would get used to that culture.
Rese / Botswana
I believe that people should live together before they get married, because marriage is a permanent contract, basically, and if you do not really know what you're getting into, then it might not work out that well. But if you lived with someone for a while, then you'd know exactly what you're getting into and what you expect in the future.
Warren / Canada
Oh, yeah, I think it's really great if people lived together first. That way, they get to know each other and they'll know what it's going to be like. I think, quite often, people who start living together when they get married, that's when they first start to get to know each other.

Katya: Hello, I'm Katya from Bulgaria.
Ayumi: I'm Ayumi from Brazil.
Katya: And today's question is have you ever lived with somebody from the opposite sex? Yes, I've always had various room mates and there is always a boy room mate or two girls and one boy. It's always different and it always changes. There is always new people coming in my house for some reason and I actually really like living with boys because they really help you a lot. There are some times when you need someone to carry your groceries or you need somebody to repair something in the house. Plus they don't interfere in your personal life or they don't scold you if you haven't cleaned something right on time.
Ayumi: Same here. Actually all my room mates have been boys. I've never felt uncomfortable. We are like friends, we are like family so we don't have these gender barriers saying you are a boy so you don't do this, you are a girl you don't do that. The same case, they take trash for me or they carry my stuff. They are really kind and I really like them because they are like brothers rather than like strangers.
Katya: Also men are really good cooks.
Ayumi: Yeah.
Katya: Right? That's why the best chefs in the world are guys.
Ayumi: Maybe.

http://www.elllo.org/english/1051/1057-Layla-AuPair.htm
Todd: So, Layla, we're talking about being an au pair. What is the daily
routine of an au pair? Like, what do you do everyday?
Layla: So, every day I
wake in the morning at seven and I take care of the kids, and
get them dressed. I drop them at school. After that I go to my class. I take a
class, and English class, and then I pick them at 12:30 at school. And he come
back at home, the kid, and he take his nap. After that we go to
the park by car, go to the library or until the parents come back from their
work.
Layla: The best think
for me I think is to meet new people and new culture, new lifestyle, and I
think for me it's a very good experience.
Todd: Is there anything difficult about
being an au pair?
Layla: The most
difficult I think it to be far from our family because for me it's the first
time so it's a little bit hard, but just one year, it's gonna be OK.
Todd: So, for an au pair is it your job
to like cook and clean and things like that?
Layla: Most of the au
pairs cooks for the kids and do the laundry. I don't. But, yeah, usually the
au pairs have to clean up after the kids. Do their laundry. Clean up their
bedroom, and yeah, taking care of the kids. Yeah.
