[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I have read in a lot of sources that couples [b]who cohabit before getting married get divorced more often than those who don't.[/b]

FWIW, I am not the OP, and I didn't cohabit with my future husband, we dated and lived in separate apartments.[/quote]

The hypothesis behind this is that people move in together, and then get married or stay together because leaving your living arrangements would be a really big hassle.  If you are not living together, it is more of a clean break.

As a Christian I did not have sex outside of marriage and I would not want my children to move in with a partner before marriage.  But I don't judge people because other people's lives are not my business.  After 10 years of marriage, I don't think moving in with someone really would have a significant benefit.  As the years go on, people change so much.  You are marrying the entire person and whoever the person ends up as in the future.  It is a pretty big leap of faith.  I was a slob and I didn't know how to cook when I got married and now I am a lot more organized and attentive to my home, and I am a pretty good cook.  DH accepts me either way and I accept him.[/quote]
