too much lifetime channel, not enough time in the kitchen

I agree with the point that it's important to find yourself, but that doesn't have a lot to do with marriage. What if the girl decided she was going to marrying him so it would be OK to live with him? Obviously getting married doesn't mean you're mature, understand yourself or are independent. There are a lot of pitfalls with living with someone else. Married or cohabitation should be done voluntarily and not due to desperation(money, emotionally, etc..) this will only further stress each other.

Very often they are slumming it and spending too much time in bed. You can't do that with flatmates in separate rooms and when living alone you have to do everything first.

Some people live together casually without living alone or with friends first because they are too lazy to conduct a non cohabiting relationship and to save on rent as a one bedroomed flat between two is cheaper than sharing a two bedroomed flat with a flatmate. Leave home first and then move somewhere where you have to pay utility bills rather than have them included in with the rent. Better still somewhere unfurnished.

what if both couples are like 45 years old? would it be ok then?

These "statistics" you speak of are not in ANY way clearly showing that living together CAUSES a higher divorce rate. There is very much a likelihood that the type of peole that want to live together before marriage are more likely to be divorced. Even the authors of such statistics say so.

@TheGoddessofmusic007 Living together before marriage is not a sin. I have thought and looked into this very much. Not living together before marriage is cultural, not scriptural. No where does the scripture prohibit it. It may not be advised, BUT there is a big difference between advising someone not to do something, and telling them flat out that it is a sin. I am not against christian faith, but I am against false information.

The church is a cult. Aint none of there busines what u do with ur body sexually. If ure job told u what to do with ur personal life Ud sue with and attorney right. Living together is fine. Marriage is a lie. The person can take your assets. If someone leaves u cause u won't marry them. Let them go they are dumb sheeple non book readers
