What I'm getting at is this: you have the REST OF YOUR LIFE to get married & play house. Don't do it now. Save it as a bridge you'll cross once you get married. Otherwise, there's nothing left to make marriage special. And, if the worst happens and y'all don't wind up making it last, then you've already done everything with him that you'll do with whoever you marry one day. At least try to keep 1 thing special for that awesome guy you'll marry one day. I PROMISE it's worth it to wait!

@bolded: WTF? Are you confusing marriage with a movie?
(Insert joke about marriage being anti-climactic due to lack of sex here.)

As a side note, the stats about cohabitation are true, or at least were. The question really what the cause is - are couples who are more likely to live together also more likely to consider divorce an option? There really aren't good answers there. I would NOT use one's future marriage prospects as a reason for or against living with a partner. Statistics don't represent individual realities.
That said, I don't really feel like OP is being genuine here and I'm sure we're about to get yelled at for being meanie moes again or something so eh.
