Is the best decision I’ve ever made.
You do not know a person until you’ve lived with them.
I also recommend co-owning/raising a dog during this time.

my wife and I moved in together about 7 months before we were married, and I think it helps you to know what you are getting into before saying I do. Hell everyone can clean up their place before someone comes over, but you will get a much better picture when living their full time. It helped prepare me for the entire wardrobe to be hung all over the house because nothing they own is able to be placed in the dryer. You can learn a lot about a person when you spend time with them 24/7.

There are no cons. You either find out she's a terrible roommate and move on in life, or she's a fantastic roommate and you get engaged and married (or just continue living together).
Divorce rates would be 1/3rd of what they are if co-habitating pre-marriage was required.
ETA:
Well, I guess if your family is judgmental from religious beliefs that could be a con, if you care about what they think a lot.

It must suck when a bf/gf get an expensive apartment together and break up 3 months later, likely leaving the bf to pay the rent he probably can't afford on his own.

Idk seems like a tough time to get married. it seems everyone around me is getting divorced. With social media like snapchat and facebook people are always at the bar. You could be sitting on your couch and be talking to 5 different girls at one time. And there is no age limit to this.. I've seen it with 30 40 and 50 year olds. Living with someone before marriage is not going to prevent this.
Its like our old bull.. he got 20 cows just waiting on him to bang them but he spends all day just staring across the fence at the neighbors

The only way I would ever advocate living together is if you live in a high cost of living area (SF, NYC, DC, etc). Way too much can go wrong financially otherwise.
We don't live in an expensive city, but we live in an expensive area of the city.
Her lease ran out on her apartment and it made no sense for us to both live alone and each pay rent when we stay together 4-5 nights out of the week anyway.

Lived with my girlfriend/fiancé for 3 years. Been married since September. I'd encourage it, as you don't really know your spouse until you live with them IMO. I knew the good and the bad before tying the knot and I think we are better off because of it. she'd agree.

That's a big problem with America.

Cons: it makes the wedding less substantial of a change. Week before marriage is the same as two weeks after. Then you're just back in the routine. Also, why give away the last months of freedom?
No offense, but this makes no sense to me. I didn't change from dating to co-habitating to married. I still do the same things.
Kids are the change.

Would having both names on the lease protect the guy?

Which is why I would never get an apt on two incomes without being married. The flip side is that you save a lot more money getting an apt on one income.

Wife and I lived together for a little over a year before.
absolutely recommend it.
You don't buy a car without test driving it.
