   Ron,

   Although I have never lived with an SO, I felt the need to send you a 
short note concerning my feelings. 

   Get this out of the way first, you wanted to know, I am 23.

   I whole heartedly agree that living together is a viable alternative to
getting married before any cohabitation occurs.  All of my friends have 
co-habbed together before taking the plunge.  I am reasonably sure that I,
too shall live with my SO before marrying.  Not because I have an uncontrollableurge for sex, but rather, I can learn so much more about the person I want to
spend my life with before we marry.  It is better to research thoroughly a 
proposal before you accept it. :-)

   On the other hand, many people still get married without living together
first.  The reason I don't see it happening to myself or my friends lies, I
think in the fact that we are either college graduates or soon-to-be.  It is
my opinion that we, as college educated people, are more apt to consider all
options and alternatives before devoting ourselves to one person.  (That 
didn't sound quite like I wanted)  I have seen two of my aunts go through
divorces and I want to be quite sure that I am making the correct decision.

   I guess that outlines my thoughts for the day, I may post this to the net 
also.  But, regardless I shall mail this to you.  Any questions or comments
you may have for me are welcome, either via mail or net.singles.

                                     Sincerely,

                                     Steven Schultz
