	I lived with my ex-fiancee for a year, and it was a wonderful
experience; it also (I think) told us that we should *not* get married;
we did not get along all that well, sometimes...

	I don't think I would ever marry anyone without living
together with them first; just as I would never marry anyone without
(a) getting drunk with them (b) going to bed with them (c) staying up
all night watching junk tv, and so on...it's another facet of co-existence
that two people need to come to terms with before making a long-term
committment to each other; those who ignore these kinds of interaction
do so at their own risk.
