Professionally the problems I've learned about co-habitation seem to outweigh the benefits. Not necessarily for everyone but in many cases.
Off the top of my head the biggest is that there's a sense that it is sort of a "test" and not a commitment can lead to a couple simply breaking up instead of working on any problems. And that breaking up isn't as "simple" because you're sharing a space. Though this occurs in marriages as well, the sense of commitment tends to lead more people to work through problems and if they do divorce there's usually legal help involved.
YMMV of course.
