According to Osho, living together before marriage can be a conscious laboratory: it strips romance of illusions, exposes real habits and wounds, and lets love mature without the prison of legal/ritual security. If, through daily intimacy, love grows, marriage may serve practical needs (children, society), but never as a substitute for awareness. Choose commitment from freedom, not fear or loneliness.
Live together first to see each other clearly; marry only if love deepens—not to feel safe.
