predicate in a predicate



I was wondering how should I represent these two sentences in First
Order Logic Form

John lives in Bali
John lives with Marry

live_in( John , Bali )
live_with( John, Marry )

or Can I have a predicate in the predicate, so that I can generalized
the "live" predicate ?

live( John, in(Bali) )
live( John, with(Marry) )

As you can see that the second arguments of "live" predicate can
either refer to the person or place. But can we use the same predicate
"live" with the second argument refer to person and place ? Thank you.
