I think it's a really good idea to live together before marriage because then you get to know a person better and see if you're compatible.
Of course my views might change in a few months, we have *just* moved in together.

It can also make sense for financial reasons. I'm moving in with my girlfriend on August 1st. I start Law School soon. I'll accrue probably a student debt of around 60-70K while in law school. If things didn't work out, she'd owe half if we were to be divorced.
Not really fair.
I know you can take care of that kind of stuff with a pre-nupital, but why bother when you can just put things off a few years?
