Fer my money, living together before marriage is no guarantee that the
marriage will work. I have a couple friends who tried it, living together
for 2 years in one case, and 3 years in the other. Both marriages broke
up rather acrimoniously. (In one case, He walked in on Her and His best 
friend.) 

I prefer living with my SO (which is what I'm doing now) to marrying. Even
now after dating for almost 3 years, I'm not sure that this is the person
I want to spend the rest of my life with. I'm not Catholic, but I feel like
marriage vows are sacred. They aren't something to be taken lightly.

Living together is a good way to get to know someone really well. I think 
the difference is the COMMITTMENT involved. Anytime I like, I can tell
my SO to get the hell out of my life (not that I'm likely to do that :-)).
I couldn't do that if we were married.
