[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m also super liberal and agree 100% with your mom but not for that dumb ass reason. I’d go down a notch and say don’t live together until you’re ENGAGED. That way both parties are on the same page about the future of the relationship but if it turns out your partner is actually a nightmare to live with and you want out, it’s logistically easier than getting a divorce.[/quote]

+1.  I know people that have said that they moved in when they were talking marriage.  But I think how awkward to move in when he is talking about marriage and then have a clock sort of ticking for when he will ask you.  Or living together for years and wonder if he is finally going to propose marriage and realize you have to deal with all the logistics of moving out etc., if things don’t seem to be leading that way.

As for test driving etc that people are mentioning, there are people that divorced that lived together first and people that divorced that didn’t live together first.  Whatever you do, you and your SO need to be on the same page and like a PP mentioned you have to talk about the serious stuff.  I found pre-marital counseling very helpful in digging deeper about compatibility.  You don’t typically delve into communication and pre-marital counseling unless you are engaged to marry but I felt like that would be good if you were thinking about marriage.
