It is quite common today for couples to live together without becoming married. In some cases, they eventually do marry, in other cases they remain devoted to each other without ever feeling the need to be formally married, and in other cases they separate, just as some married couples separate. Unmarried couples are essentially indistinguishable from married couples, apart from their legal status.

You should treat unmarried couples with the same respect as you would treat married couples. Be friendly towards them and you may even find that in most cases they are quite nice people. It is their decision alone to live together outside of marriage, and we should neither judge them nor try to pressure them into conforming to our vision of a perfect society.

Living Together-Is it better than marriage and-or improves the chances of a stable marriage?

Well, in my point of view, marriage is the best option as long as you know what you're doing. Marriage is not a game, as where simply living together is. There are risks to both: Marriage can end up in a bad relationship due to the person not being "the one" and living together may end up in a really bad argument where someone gets hurt or worse.
