Definition of live together

The phrase "live together" originated from the concept of cohabitation, which is the act of two or more individuals sharing the same living space and living their daily lives together. The meaning of "live together" can be traced back to the Old English language, where it was spelled "weobban" and meant "to exist." The modern English phrase "live together" became popular in the late 16th century, during a time when large families often shared homes with their relatives. As the concept of nuclear families (i.e., family units consisting of a married couple and their children) became more common in the early 20th century, the phrase "live together" became more commonly associated with this specific arrangement. Today, the term "live together" is commonly associated with romantic relationships between couples who choose to share a living space. It can also refer to unmarried partners, siblings, roommates, or any other people who choose to cohabit together. Interestingly, the phrase "live together" is often followed by the phrase "and raise a family" in reference to married couples who want to start a family.
