IMO, if you are engaged or in a very serious relationship, it is beneficial to live together first to make sure you can put up with one another long term.

I think this is a common view, and one that seems reasonable.
But every study I have ever seen says that couples who live together prior to marriage are statistically more likely to divorce than those who do not. For what that's worth. (And I don't know that I've seen any statistics for couples that move in together while engages vs. those who move in together with no specific marriage plans.)
