Do you think it's a good idea to live together with a partner before deciding to get married? Why/why not? (Page 2)

Question

Is it a good idea to live with a partner before deciding to get married, why or why not? I talk about this with my boyfriend pretty often, and my parents chime in every once in a while. My parents are older in their 60s, they were raised to not live with their partners before marriage, also cohabitation wasn't very common and unconventional... So my parents definitely find it odd that so many unmarried couples are living together nowadays.  However, I bring up how so many couples nowadays find it better because they get a "sneak peek" of what living with their partner is like, so they can see if they are compatible regarding living together, instead of it being a shock when they first move in  after  marriage. Seems logical.  Anyways, I wondered if you think it is a good idea to live with a partner before getting married, why? Or if you think it's better to live with a partner (for the first time) after marriage, why?
