It is definitely best to live together first...I would say for at least 6 months.
Sometimes folks are reluctant if one or both parties already have children, which I certainly understand.

Take a breather, son. Life is too short to take so seriously all the time.

I didn't and don't support it. If you don't really know who you are dating before marriage, you either haven't been dating long enough or they are hiding stuff. Either way you shouldn't get married yet if those are true.

You explained how you don't understand how rates work

Is this how you think you explained it away?
How does that explain the divorce rate going down since 1980?

If both parties are financially independent, emotionally matured, and honest with each other it can work. Without all three, it can quickly turn into a dependency issue where on person stays in because of the financial or emotional support. Long term, resentment builds on both side and it’s all toxic.
Same goes for a marriage, which is a formalize living arrangement.
Very good points.
I'm not against it but I don't know if cohabitating is a great idea for young adults who just left their parents' house or college. They need to learn about themselves in the real world. And there is something empowering about knowing you can support yourself and there is something special about having YOUR space that is yours alone.

Different times. We didn't bat an eye when our kids moved in with their S.O.'s.
Definitely different times. Almost everyone I knew had 2 apartments, etc., mostly for show, in the early 80's. Parents would sometimes wonder why they could never get X on the phone.
All our kids in the 2010s, we don't bat an eye. It just seems silly to pretend and to waste all that rent money.

Sinful bro..... can you be forgiven.... of course.
But why do something you know is a sin up front when you can keep from it? If you aren't sure if you can live with her or not then MAYBE marriage shouldn't be on the table....

Get the frick out of here with that sin shite.
Mary gave birth to another man's child. So let's stop with the religious hypocrisy shite.
It's 100%. Smart to live with so before marriage. Can save the both of you a lot of money, via lawyers, judgements, and heart and health ache.

Apartments were cheap in the 80s. I know people who did this in the 2000s... made no sense, it was just an ineffective charade.

I 100% wrote it that way just to see if the OT had their coffee this morning. Haha.

Not sure, but they always appeared to be happy, until they weren’t. They were in there fifties when the got married, and then quickly divorced.

The OT is always quick to be experts on everything.
If people make a certain choice based off of religious or cultural beliefs, then good for them for sticking to what they believe in.

Something that I think has not been said is to think of what you MUST have in order to be happy. No one is perfect but if the other person isn't going to provide what you think is necessary, you're going to have trouble. Don't assume they will change, because they likely won't.

You can cohabitate just no premarital coitus.
