I think that studies about couples co-habitating before marriage also don't draw a distinction between the couples who are 19 and like, Oooh! Less rent! More sex! Let's move in! And the 24 year old couple who sits down and figures out, OK, are we going to split everything down the middle, or proportionately according to income? Whose stuff goes where? etc.
Because I think really your approach to living together should be the same as your approach to marriage -- figure the important stuff out BEFORE you've done something that either can't be undone or is very messy to undo. If you haven't done that, your relationship is going to take the strain, regardless of if you're married or cohabitating.
