There is no official docrtine on this. Most Lutheran pastors will advise against it. Also, most pastors make an engaged couple undergo premarital couseling before he will marry them. This is to ensure that the two lives together will be healthy, happy and lasting. This would naturally be most effective if it occured before the engaged begin their shared life.

Living together does not make you married no matter how long. Until you have a wedding you're just in a relationship.

It is a matter of opinion and no ones business, but the couple involved. For convenience sakes many young people (even some older individuals) will live together without getting married or live together until they do get married. It is only wrong is eyes of the couple. The downside of living together before marriage is the couple has been living like a married couple so it takes the excitement and joy out of any upcoming wedding because what is left? The couple has lived together for 1 or more years; done the same things a married couple does and by getting married they have lost the part of the excitement of not living together and waiting for the day of their wedding and then having their wedding night whether they have had a sexual relationship before or not. Then they get to live together and experience the joys and some downsides and make a future for themselves.
according to islam , before marry they can not make any relation, it is haram
No you do not. The Pastor at my church was actually a Baptist Minister before he came to our church and he did not study at a Lutheran seminary. In Australia, the answer is yea. There are only two ways in which can become a Lutheran pastor: 1. Attend a Lutheran seminary 2. For an elder (or other established Lutheran parish member) to go through an alternative accredited programme externally via the Lutheran seminary, in order to serve in his home church.
