please forgive me for attempting to quote stats without the exact information
...
but i do recall a conversation with a friend that stated that couples that live together prior to marriage are more prone to end in divorce! now that isn't to say "no, don't do it", because as many have stated, that is very much a personal decision...
but i will agree with what a lot of my sorors have said...IF there is a ring on my finger and we have made substantial wedding plans, THEN we can go ahead and do the dayum thang, but not before then!!
