If dating is anything like it used to be… when you get to that point, you’re spending multiple overnights in a week together. So you get to know what it would be like without actually having to move in together.

It’s nice to have that separate space still where you can have all your stuff the way you want it. So no I would not recommend it, you have the rest of your life to live with them. Play house before you have to

Yes and yes.

It's one thing to date and occasionally stay over at a person's place. It's an entirely different thing when you share where you live.

Something that you may not have noticed or mostly ignored can very quickly become a huge issue when you are actually living together.

Think of it this way; when you were in college did you ever decide to live w/one of your friends and then realize once you did that you really did not like that person at all? The exact same thing can and often does happen when people marry who never lived together.

I would guess because the people who dont live together before marriage are very religious and do not divorce bc they view it as a sin

The sext is great, until you put a ring on it.

for 3 years before we got married yes. I would yes - lets you learn about each other that you may not see or figure out just dating.

No. We barely dated, either. Neither of us had sex prior to marriage.

I feel like that's the "right" (both practically and morally) way to do things.

10 year anniversary is next month.

We lived together before we got married for a few years then once we got married we didn’t live together for a year after we got married.

Living with someone prepares you as well as anything for marriage. Highly recommend.

Does he forgive willful, flippant, and unrepentant sin? Romans 6 has a lot to say about this.

Christ. Did your parents pick you guys out for one another, too? Did your wife's family have to offer a dowry?

Yes and yes

The old saying “the first year of marriage is the hardest” isn’t accurate anymore if you live with each other before. I firmly believe that saying came about because nobody knew each other’s living habits before they got married. Nowadays you’ve had time to adjust to each other

I wouldn't buy a car without test driving it first.
