Did any of you not practice cohabitation?

It seems like everyone is moving in together before they're even engaged now.

Sure is a shame these kids can't be classy anymore.

It's irresponsible not to live with someone prior to marriage, imo.

We did not. Check out the statistics on divorce rate for those who are cohabitants.

Yeah much smarter to just make every life change at the same time and then realize it sucks to live together after you're already married instead of before.

It’s so trashy to live with a girl

Probably because those who don't believe in cohabitation before are probably the same who don't believe in divorce no matter how shitty the marriage is.

I did not practice cohabitation, but I'm not interested in storing up wrath for myself either.

A lot of long term couples spend most nights together anyways, why pay double rent. If it works great, get married. If it doesn't then you saved yourself a divorce.

Or maybe they just take their mutual vows seriously. Marriages aren’t just randomly assigned to be shitty or not, that’s entirely the result of the commitment each has to the other.

It's a guy and girl actually. I'm not sure how he pulled that off. We should all take notes from him

And people who live together before don't?

Yeah but there's countless stories of marriages falling apart but the divorce never happens because "you just don't get divorced."

If I had lived with my wife before we got married, there would have been no wedding.

Been married 17 years. Wife and I lived together for six months prior to the nuptials. Soley for economic reasons.

If she’s the right one, it doesn’t matter.

But cohabitation is a great way to clarify if the SO is the right one.
