Not always.  About three years ago, J. and E. (two friends of mine)
decided they wanted to marry.  When they mentioned this to J.'s parents, the
parents (who are probably around sixty years old) pointed out that since J.
and E. had rather different personalities and might have trouble getting
along with each other on a day-to-day basis, it might be best for them to
live together first to see how things worked out.

That's what they did--and a year or so later, they married.
