Anyone have any case studies or evidence from "professionals" explaining this?

I don't agree....some relationships just aren't meant to be, it has nothing to do with moving in with each other before marriage. I honestly think living together before marriage is a good thing because you get to know the person and figure out if you are going to work out. It better than running off to Vegas getting married in t-shirt and jeans to someone you barely know. Marriage is sacred, it should not be rushed.

It's because of finances.
If you move out as boyfriend/girlfriend, it's more like your money is yours and his is his. So if you get married, you are supposed to put your money together instead of splitting everything down the middle because now everything is joint and most people who live together before marriage don't do this.
This is a fact and this is the main reason marriages end in divorce if the couple live together before marriage. It's all financial.
I can't remember what study quoted this, but I learned this in high school. I am no longer in high school.

i don't know that it does..i mean how could you ever prove that theory? the only way would be to have those same couples not live together and get married to see if it lasts otherwise and thats impossible to do. how can you say they wouldn't have divorced anyway? i think when you get right down to it the reasons for their divorces are the same as the reasons for other divorces making the problems universal regardless of the situation before the wedding.

I've always thought this was statistical crap. Do the statistics take into account all the couples who lived together and then decided not to get married? Humm, I bet it does not. My wife and I lived together for 2 years before our wedding. Guess what, married life was not any different.

i imagine those numbers are proper. there is study too that coach that if a pair stay mutually yet have a committed date of at the same time as they are getting married then they're a lot less probable for a divorce and are better probable to get married, so what appears maximum significant is the dedication to get married. at the same time as a pair prefer to stay mutually to ascertain in the adventure that they are compatible, no dedication, no "we are marrying in 3 months", merely to stay mutually, they just about continuously split from my adventure. they are no longer taking the courting heavily and they are unlikely to take the marriage as heavily as a pair who do not stay mutually until eventually they are effective they prefer to be mutually for existence. they don't allow you to lease a automobile you're going to purchase for a 12 months to ascertain if it quite works, and residence vehicles have the worst treatment from drivers obtainable. once you purchase some thing and devote to it then you absolutely manage it better appropriate and attempt to seem after it. that's a similar with marriage. in case you're drawing close a courting with a "let's have a look at if it really is going to paintings" thoughts-set then you absolutely take it with no interest. once you frame of mind with a "i have committed to this for some thing else of my existence" then you absolutely locate strategies to workout consultation complications. effective you locate out that your important different has some subject matters that you may't stand. you regulate, or she alters, or you both replace and regulate. it really is the individuals who imagine you may't could modify that finally end up getting divorced.

Becuase when you are living together before you get married, there is no commitment there. you just do what you want when you want and you can break up just like that. But when you are married you have more commitment and you will try harder to keep together.
