    Sure, but may be a touch harder if you have baby kids or whatever.

    I can. I have even lived in a house without a shower, too:-)

    But that was because we hadn't built or shower yet, or installed our tub so we bathed next door lol!

    But now we have a beautiful tub that I can't imagine how I did without. The view is awesome and the atmosphere, the comfort for soaking. Terrific!

    And we are going to tile the shower in the springtime:-)

    I can, but prefer not to. The bath is a refuge for me, and it seems to be good for my mental health. :)

    Sure - I never use the bathtub...only the shower. I liked a tub when my kids were toddlers, but they're teens now so they don't use the tub either anymore.

    Yes of course, because for living you don't need a bathtub! But if somebody gifts me a house from here http://www.lagunaoc.com I won't mind at all.

    For a family home with kids you must have a bath, most small kids hate showers
    If you are a couple with no kids/older kids a shower is fine.
    If you cant afford a shower, get you wife to wash in the kitchen sink, it could be fun watching!!

    In India we (tourists) were limited to one bucket of water per day because of drought. I found that it is possible to get wet all over, soap onself and rinse with 5 cups water. I washed all over 3 times a day because it was so hot. I met an American Mormon this year who did not know there were people in the world who lived without indoor plumbing. Amazing!

    ABSO-flippon'-LUTELY!

    I have not taken a bath in 40 years!

    Wait a minute! Please allow me to elaborate. I have only taken SHOWERS for most of my adult life.

    We have three "full baths" in our home, yet two of them contain tub-sized showers. A few years ago they would have only qualifed as 3/4 baths. Go figure.

    Well I wouldn't die, that's for sure!

    But really, most people I know including myself take showers and don't have the time to fill a tub with water before washing up. Besides, tubs are for bathing and relaxing which I'd assume is not done daily?

    I personally would always want a tub in my house vs. a shower stall, for the resale purposes it would be more desirable, for personal reasons, I'd like to have the option to take a bath if I ever wanted to.

    Good question... I'm actually trying to decide that right now. I found a great apartment that has everything I want except for the bathtub. I may bite the bullet and go for it, baths aren't all that important.

    I redesign bathrooms and kitchens for a living. Many people have requested their tubs to be replaced with a shower only. I personally would like the benefit of both. When I want to unwind and relax, I bathe otherwise, shower it is!

    dead leaves raked in a pile

    I'm in America. My apartment has 2 standard American bathtubs, neither of which is really adequate for taking a bath. They're too short and steep-sided to lie in comfortably.

    So in effect, I do live in a home without a (worthwhile) bathtub.

    but the showers work fine.

    Living in a house without a bathtub is not a complicated issue. Although for some it is a necessity. Bathroom without a bathtub is unimaginable for them but then we all know exceptions are every where. I don't think it is really difficult to live in a house not having a bath tub.
