Well you certainly don't have any help from any statistical study I've ever read. Unless you want to divorce. Living together before marriage is the single biggest reason the divoece rate is at 50% in this country. "Try it befroe you buy it" may work for the car-buying experience but it sure hasn't for marital relationships. You're basically leaving the back door wide open and telling your partner that you don't think they are worthy or not capable of maintaining a lifelong relationship. People have been holding off for eons and it worked very well. You should get to know the person on many different levels in different situations before jumping into an extremely intimate union that will leave lasting impressions on you. Just a thought, but those relationships seem to last a heck of a lot longer.

Getting to know you. Getting to learn all about you is the advantages of living together. Advantages of living together before marriage can be difficult to list because our society expects everyone to get married first and not practice or even think about living together. Many people have different habits, lifestyles, and beliefs and its hard for two individuals to get to know one anotherr. By living with someone you see a different side othe that person. Some people store things or can be pack rats, piling all their possessions in corners. Other people are clean freeks who wash, clean and tidy everything and put things in specific places and get mad if you move their items. Still others are slobs, blowing their nose or picking it right in front of you wiping their snots on their pants. Sounds gross but you would never find out about their habits if you didn't live with them.

Before you discuss the perceived advantages of living together before marriage, you should do some research. I do not have the references offhand, but I know the following is shown by research:
Couples who abstain from sex prior to marriage have the lowest divorce rate.
Couples who engage in sex but do not live together have a higher divorce rate.
Couples who live together prior to marriage have the highest divorce rate.
This is not what most people would think or exprect, but it is true. I could write a dissertation on the reasons for this, but it's your project. Do a little work to find real research studies instead of what your friends think.
Good Luck!

I've been dating my boyfriend for about 5 years and living with him for 2 and a half. I think that living together before marriage is a good idea, but then again we're not married yet.
I think it's a good idea because I know that I now in am a much more comfortable position in terms of the idea of being married to him. for me, marriage is forever. and the me now, after living with him for 2.5 yrs knows that I could definitely say forever to him. the me before we lived together was not ready to say that.
i think the basic thing for me is that i know him so much more. not in the typical sense of 'knowing' someone, but deeper - we wake up together every morning. we have to keep the bathroom clean. we have to go food shopping and make dinner. we have to negotiate our 'alone time' and our 'other friends time' and our 'together time'. just the fact that i know what hes doing with his life almost 24-7....
maybe that's not what you were asking for, but i hope that helps some.
