Cohabitation before Marriage
I strongly encourage cohabitation before marriage! I know, I know "shacking up" is frowned upon by the majority of the population. The reality is, you do not truely know a person until you have lived with them. All the little cute things that you love will still be there but some not so cute things will be introduced. If you are getting married and will have to live with that person day in and day out till' death do you prt, why not give it a trial run. Most couples have had sex by the fith date so a little shackin' before the I do's souldn't hurt.
