Is Live-In Relationship Better Than Marriage?

Описание: Live-in relationships are often debated in Indian society — are they right, wrong, or simply misunderstood?

In this episode of Face To Face by Pratibimb, we explore live-in relationships vs marriage, commitment, expectations, adjustment, and why many relationships fail — regardless of whether they are legally endorsed or not.

A live-in relationship, much like marriage, involves living together, shared expectations, emotional needs, and the possibility of disappointment. The real issue is not whether a relationship is called marriage or a live-in relationship, but whether there is joy, adjustment, communication, and willingness to compromise.

This conversation also looks at:
• Live-in relationships in India
• Marriage vs live-in relationship realities
• Commitment without marriage
• Adjustment, sacrifice, and expectations in relationships
• Why society judges what doesn’t fit its framework
• Companionship, especially in later stages of life

Whether it is a live-in relationship or marriage, relationships succeed or fail based on awareness, communication, and the joy of association — not just legal labels.

This video is for anyone questioning modern relationships, live-in relationships, marriage, or the meaning of commitment in today’s world.
