Civil marriage is a prelude to a relationship registered in the manner prescribed by law. How the couple will live while in a civil marriage depends on how their relationship will develop further.
Despite the fact that only legalized relationships can be called a family, many couples live in a civil marriage. This form of relationship implies joint housekeeping and living without official registration.
What can you say about such a relationship? On the one hand, when a couple decides to live together without registration, this can be interpreted as a mutual check. Feelings, the financial side of the issue are checked, people look at each other in everyday life.
To each of the partners, such a relationship may seem unstable. Like, not registered, you don't even need to file for divorce. I just left (left) - and that's it.
In fact, such a judgment is deeply mistaken for those couples who really decide to start a family. Civil marriage can also be interpreted as an exam before a real, legal relationship. The skill with which both partners pass this exam will subsequently directly influence their future life. Everything that is characteristic of a real family will be characteristic of people living in a civil marriage. Of the bad, discord, confusion, misunderstanding, disagreement can be noted. Daily work - the work of solving problems, understanding each other, creating comfortable living conditions for each other - this is what a civil marriage is.
Having passed this exam successfully and having linked their relationship with official registration, partners in no case should be complacent in terms of understanding each other. There is a deeply mistaken opinion that, after living for 10 years or more, partners simply can no longer divorce. Far from it. The most difficult thing in the future life of partners is to carry that freshness and trepidation of the relationship through the years, when everything already seems so commonplace and familiar.
Civil marriage is a prelude to the beginning of life together. Going to live together or immediately register their relationship in the manner prescribed by law is a personal matter for each newly formed couple, and the partners must make such a decision jointly. There is, of course, a share of risk in the development of a conflict, but the more responsible it will be to pass such an exam. And so both partners should behave themselves wiser in order to prevent the collapse of a family that has not yet been formed in a difficult situation.
