I got proposed to at 6months, moved in together at 9months.. got married at 2years. And after 19 years, I'm still married.
Just do what you both want. Help each other, support each other. Whether or no you get married is besides the point. Look at all the divorces who got married first then found that they were 'trapped' with someone they no longer wanted to be with. Do it, have fun, learn about each other and if you split up, then tell everyone who has two cents to tell you "I told you so". That it was better then a divorce. If you don't break up... then great... you already have a place for yourselves and all your stuff is there... and you go have a wedding. I know people with 3 kids... together for a long time and STILL living together and they seem very happy.

I think the right time to move in together is when you have practically started living together anyway. If you keep sleeping over at each other's places then it's a lot more convenient to move in together.
I would suggest that you get engaged and set the date for your wedding for in about a year's time. This will confirm your commitment to each other and things will run more smoothly.

There's no definitive answer to this one - I've lived with 2 boyfriends and moved in very quickly (the first one after 2 months, the second one after 5 months) but in both instances the push was mostly due to convenience, ie leases running out, saving money, etc. Both relationships lasted three years and in both instances culminated in me moving out because I needed my own space! (Must be the only child syndrome!!) I have now been with my current partner for 2 years and we don't live together - in fact this is by far the longest I've been with someone and not moved in with them. This is mostly due to the fact that we both own our own houses and are loathe to part with them, but sometimes I can't help thinking that I'm just prolonging the inevitable split, beacause at the moment we're still maintaining the 'dating' element to our relationship and I have a feeling our domestic incompatiability (my sense of order vs. his sense of chaos) may cause us to split if we ever tried to moving in thing. My advice to you: Love is not enough! How similar you are in your practial approach to everyday life will go a long way to determining your success as co-habitors!

Studies have shown that couples who move in together rarely end up marrying each other or staying together. Because why get married if you are living together? The novelty wears off and there's nothing to look forward to? Move in together once you're married that's what I think is best.

If you are happy do it, it is entirely up to you.
Personally i wouldn't i waited 15 months before i moved in with my BF, only lasted 7 months after that.
But don't listen to me or anyone else, if you are happy you should do it you only live once, explain to you family and friends that you are happy it is something you wanna do, and you hope they will be there to support you.

Wait until you are starting to talk about marriage, or even better yet engaged or married. If you live together before being married though, it cuts down on divorces because you figure out before you get married that you can't stand living with the person.

I dated my guy for 2 years before moving in with him...that still wasn't long enough...although we're still together after 3 years of living together.

you can not live together and date for 6 years and it can still turn out bad. therefore, since you are moving in together after 6 months, you will just know alot sooner if this relationship is for you or not. i think living togehter is the safest thing, for you can learn each and every aspect before you bring the government into the bedroom.
