Answer 1

Research has shown that, among u.s. couples that live together before marriage, there are higher rates of divorce.
Contrary to popular belief, people who live together before getting married will actually get sick of each other faster, instead of solidifying their relationship. Research suggests that they should start their marriage and then learn as they go.
