[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the people and the relationship.  Where I’ve seen the living together not be a good thing is if it makes the right decision harder. Either the person knows deep down it isn’t the right person but it’s that much harder when breaking up means also finding a new place to live and splitting up property. Or when they know it is right (or could be) but get very comfortable living together and maybe start taking things for granted in a way that they wouldn’t if they lived separately.

If you know that living together won’t keep either of you in relationship when it’s not right no matter the challenges of breaking up and it won’t delay marriage when it is right - I don’t see an issue.  But people hate doing the hard things and have to work hard to make sure they aren’t taking someone for granted in situations where it’s easy to do so.  I know myself and it was better to wait until there was a marriage commitment before living together. I knew I could figure out what I needed to know over 2-3 years spending much or our time at each other’s place and also having opportunities to travel together.
