the main reason that stops me from getting or meeting that perfect person to settle down with. or having a partneris that i worked really hard to get my apartment together, and done it all on my own. it is decked out totally in like 18 months will all be finished.the law is if you live with somebody and it doesn't work out you loose it all when or if you break up. i would like some input and views and thoughts on this topic. do you loose it all, the apartment ect. or loose half? should i look into it before i get serious with somebody , i mean see a lawyer on what to do?is there a way you can protect your posessions in relationships? i also know of a relationship that sterted in the early 20s and now in late50s with not many problems.i think there are advantages and disadvantages in this. advatages:lifetime of love.happiness and somebody to share life with in general but my disadvantages loosing all is more.do i stay single for ever because of this?i know it is only natural to want to be with that special person to share life with. i'm so busy with work and other affairs ike church too that i don't have time to let this get to me,i'm always motivated and busy.in the back of my mind i too think about how good it would be to have that special some one by my side.

If those thigns are weighing on your mind so heavily.....then maybe it is a sign that you are not ready to be married.

You can't put material things or what you might LOSE when entering a marriage...noone can compete with that.

I understand what you are saying about having nice things and wanting to be responsible to take care of them...there is nothing wrong with that. But honoring God through a relationship has nothing to do with that at all. :)

And not sure if you were talking solely about marriage or not......if you were not, then I have to say that I am not in favor of living together before marriage. AND..I am not in favor of one getting married thinking *well, if this does not work out then we will just split up.*

Hope that made sense to you.

Hi Paulo

I just googled it, and in Australia, you can lose things from a de facto breakup like property/superannuation/assets but only if they are owned jointly or if the defacto relationship has been going for at least two years.

I think that a Christian couple shouldn't live together until they're married, but if you're going to do it and you don't want to lose your stuff, then don't own things jointly with her and don't register your relationship for de facto status.

Look, Just do what me and my sister did when we had to share a room. Put masking tape down the center of the room, Make one side yours, the other side her. If either one of you crosses the tape, or touches the others stuff. you get to wack the other in the head with a spoon
