LIVE IN RELATIONSHIP

We all go through ups and down, a few situations can get the back on track...

Grandparents may scowl all they want, parents may wring their hands in despair but live-in relationships are becoming popular among the youth brigade ; more so with the Supreme Court ruling that the with Supreme Court ruling that the law for the protection of women from domestic violence extend equal benefit to women in live-in relationships, as it will to mar ried women, thereby endorsing such arrangements !
But if you're thinking of taking your relationship to the next level without tying the knot, then it'd be wise to consider a few things.

He throws his wet towel on the bed, makes the room look like a pig-sty.... you get exposed to his every little annoying habit---are ready for it? Get you to know him a little better by taking a week-long trip together. But it is important to be more accommodating and tolerant towards your partner.
* share expenses
Money is notorious for souring relationships, so make sure to go Dutch for everything-bills, house rent, groceries ete The other way to do this is to have one joint account where both of you contribute a percentage of your salary every month. But retain a separate bank account for yourself too as a safety valve in case the relationship fails.

* relationship come up lemons Then it is better to have some kind of proof in hand, such as a ration card or a joint bank account with the address men- tioned, that shows that you both have lived in .
