What is the position of Jehovah's Witnesses of young adults leaving the parental home before marriage? ?

I tried looking through the archives of publications and found nothing about this.

It is a matter of personal choice / decision. I am a Christian one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I am the brother of 24 years and still live with my mother. I know people who have moved away from home / stayed at home, which had been to life, more faithful. Also called those who moved later in / around 18/still live at home, do not conform with the Lord. As I said, a personal choice. My aunt, who is still a sister, the eldest daughter, away almost immediately. I know a sister who is 25 years old living with his parents, and seems very happy. I had a job, pioneers, etc. I personally live in the southern United States. Not that much thought until a few years in some areas is considered adequate, especially for girls, do not leave home until they are married. I know a family with 3 daughters, the eldest, life always at home, and is unique. The 2 girls were twins. Neither home life, 1 was a small problem, but has stabilized and is now married, the other twin is not and seems to be working well. If you or someone you know is being decided is a good idea to "count the cost" for them and their families. One thing I learned from my brothers Examples elderly, it is important to ensure that you can actually afford to live away from home, and if roommates taking care to choose. Furthermore, on leaving home, is still very important to be respectful to their parents. Even if for no other reason embaressment of, if you need to go home after saying never to live new.
