I would NOT recommend living together before you're married--not that I have a moral problem with it--I can just say from experience that it really doesn't have any upsides...only downsides. Plus, more people who live together before marriage tend to divorce than people who wait to live together until after they tie the knot.
Just my .02.

I echo that! Living together UNMARRIED just causes problems. I learned that out first hand.
The thing is, people don't have as much of a committment because hell, you're already living together. Not only that but some couples who really don't know each other and THINK they're in love (and live together) are just (as my mother says) "PLAYING HOUSE". It's sooooooo not a good idea.
I think living together before marriage can work, but it also puts a stress on the relationship.
