Honestly I think it's
1 Religious people who will stick it out no matter what skewing the lived separate stats.
2 Trashy people having no business being together in the first place with a marriage that would never work skewing the cohabitation stats.
Then regular people are stuck in the middle being lectured.

Data shows co-habiting before marriage indicates a higher chance of divorce.
Is it possible that those who don't cohabitate before marriage are uber religious and therefore unlikely to ever get a divorce, no matter how bad the marriage is?
Same reason there is a lower reported homosexual (not talking trans or other obscure things) rate in the deep South. Well, that, and black culture does not embrace the homo.

Many articles stating that studies show couples who cohabitate before marriage have higher rates of divorce.
I didn't live with my boyfriend (now husband) first because I knew he'd happily settle in and never put a ring on it.

Studies show those who live together before marriage have a much higher divorce rate than those who wait until after marriage.

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.
You think barely dating the person you marry is practically the right thing to do? I won't get into morals, that's totally subjective and I respect others being different there.

As has been stated a bunch in this thread, this is a chicken and egg situation. The people who don't cohabitate prior to marriage often don't do so for traditional religious reasons. Those same people are also far less likely to get divorced due to those same reasons, even if in a very unhappy marriage.

Also love the article is from the Washington Examiner

Leased an apartment with mine before marriage. As others have said, you really don't know if you can live with someone for decades potentially based off a few dinner dates. Everybody can get dressed up and be on their best behavior on a few dates... but living with someone 24/7 is when their real personality comes out. You need to know what they're like when they're sick, in a bad mood, how messy they are, etc.
Well it used to be people married someone they knew as kids from their hometown and community. You knew them, you knew their families, brothers, sisters, etc.
In the modern era that doesn't happen anymore.

We didn't, mainly because both of our parents would not have approved. But, we kinda both had the attitude that if we weren't confident we could cohabitate together then it was a good sign we didn't need to get hitched.
However, it would've saved us some money on renting two places in college.

Honestly, if you don't know enough by the time she moves in that might be a problem. Just my opinion.
There are things you just can’t know until actually living with someone.
And not just about the other person. You will learn things about yourself as well.
To answer the OP question: yes and absolutely yes.

I don't think cohabitating in college is what people are talking about here
Most people don't get married in college or day 1 after.

Also, it seems that polling is only targeted at couples that did eventually get married, so it leaves out those couples that lived together, realized they couldn't do it, and went their separate ways. Those would be the "success" stories of living together first that aren't being accounted for in that data.

Louisiana is a common law state. If you live together for seven years, in the eyes of the state you're married.

I told my wife that we would have to live together for a year before I married her.
Got married almost 1 year to the day after saying that.
100% recommend it . You’re jumping into some deep water with life long consequences, better make sure she really is the one ..
