  ****************************************************************
  You need to know your partner as well as you can before marriage and before living together.
  Marriage is a vow to be with your partner for as long as you live. You give yourself to them. You may not have this vow when you're unmarried and living together.
  If you have children, it could be confusing as to why their parents aren't united in matrimony.
  Since cohabitation makes it easier for someone to walk out, a parent could leave and a child would be left with no mother or father.
  You need a strong family unit, after matrimony.
  Cohabitation causes higher depression rates, especially in women, because they keep worrying about the future.
  Living together before marriage makes you feel like you are not worthy of the other person's commitment.
  Disadvantages of Living Together Before Marriage
  Statistics
  Divorce rates for people living together before marriage is 50%.
  Cohabitation in the U.S. has increased by more than 1,500% in the past half of a century.
  In 1960, about 450,000 unmarried couples lived together. Now it's around 7.5 million.
  Cohabitation
  The act of living together and having a sexual relationship without being married.
  This makes it easier for a person to walk out of a relationship because they aren't obligated to the other.
  It encourages an easy exit.
  Women view cohabitation as a step toward marriage.
  Men view it as testing a relationship or postponing commitment.
  If you have to test whether you want to live together or not, it probably isn't a solid relationship in the first place.
  People tend to be less satisfied with marriages if they live together before.
  Living together before marriage gives you high expectations for married life. At first it is exciting to live together, so then the real marriage is not as special.
  "The benefits of marriage outweigh the disadvantages of living together before marriage."
  Money
  There are many set up and switching costs.
  You may start sharing a place, but one person might make more money than the other, so would you split it 50/50?
  If you break up, who gets the place?
  Living together makes it easier for couples to share a bank account.
  Your partner could walk away at any time and take however much money they want.
  The relationship isn't approved in a legal position, so they can't automatically help each other in medical emergencies.
  Religion
  There could be different family and religious values, which could cause problems.
  A couple needs a spiritual unity. If they aren't married, they tend to brush off this spirituality and it may be different.
  When couples live together, alone, they are more likely to have sex than if they are living in separate places.
  The Catholic Church forbids sex before marriage.
  Signs of relationship problems are ignored because they want to enjoy the sexual activity.
  Waiting until marriage to have sex with your partner tells that person you have given your full self to them.
  Foundation
  Living together before marriage is a big decision to make. It comes with advantages and disadvantages. It may seem like a good way to test out what it would be like to be married to another person, but it is much more complicated.
