Yes just to be sure it will work out because if you never live together you will never know if it will work out because living together is the only way to really know a person
Yes and no. Personally I’d say couples shouldn’t. You can get to know someone very well if you put in effort and are open with each other, admit to your flaws snd know what to work on to make yourself and your relationship better. Once you decide to marry then you move in. Your very own home as a married couple.
Get to know your partner before making big life decisions with them that could fail if things fall through.
I’m rolling with yes on this one because if married couples can’t live together & play nice before marriage than after they get married it’s going to be a nightmare.
Couples who live together before they marry have a divorce rate that is 50 percent higher than those who don’t. https://firstthings. org/myths-about-living-together/#:~:text=Truth:%20Although%20many%20couples%20think%20that%20moving%20in, is%2050%20percent%20higher%20than%20those%20who%20don’t.

Yes, 100% You don't truly know if you two are compatible until you live together and see EVERYTHING about your SO. If you live together you'll see each others habits that you normally won't see.
Absolutely. Couples should experience as many things possible together before deciding to be together forever, that includes living together (for both the social and financial experience) and ofc having sex to assure sexual compatibility.
Based on statistics no. I don't know why that's the case, but it's a strong enough correlation to make me think there is something to it. More often than not you should wait. If marriage and a long lasting one is the goal
I feel like living together and dating are two separate things, if you really like someone your dating, but they tend to have bad habits in their living areas, then your relationship may not start off well.
I would never jump into a marriage without tried living with them first. That's how you really get to figure out if they are the one for you. Can you make it work?
Maybe I’m old school but if a girl moves in with a guy he will never try to move the relationship forward. Why would he? He’s getting to play house so there is no rush!

No. Studies have shown that premairtal sex and shacking up before marriage increase the liklihood of divorce.

This is true. Anyone who says “look at the statistics” should look at these statistics.

Hard to say, but my parents never lived together and they've been married 44 years, together 46, never a problem in their marriage.
(Interesting to note they don't know each other's passwords or phone pin, they have this thing called trust and respect)
Yes, 100%

Facts.
Absolutely. Couples should experience as many things possible together before deciding to be together forever, that includes living together (for both the social and financial experience) and ofc having sex to assure sexual compatibility.
So they could find out if they are going to kill each other or not, when suddenly spending all that time together.
Fair point!

I think it's a good idea. Especially if you have never cohabited with a SO. I'm sure glad I did.
Yes you dont see their true nature before you live with them. My wife and i lived together for 2 years before we got married.
Its ultimately up to the couple but I definitely think its a good idea. Seeing frequently and living with are 2 different things
Yes, so you can see if you are comfortable with their living habits before you say I do lol
I would never jump into a marriage without tried living with them first. That's how you really get to figure out if they are the one for you. Can you make it work?
consider it like a trial run before the real thing. or maybe the beta version before release if you will
Personally I would. I want to be sure this is someone I can live with before I make such a major life commitment like marriage.
Maybe I’m old school but if a girl moves in with a guy he will never try to move the relationship forward. Why would he? He’s getting to play house so there is no rush!
This is why I said after getting engaged
Because relationships change when you move in together so its important to know it before getting married
