Most of my friends married in their early to mid 20's. All of them but one are still married. That living together before marriage crap has been proven to be bogus. Statwise the couples have a higher divorce rate if they shack up before hand. The reason is simple. If you feel you have to shack up beforehand to try it out you already have some significant doubts about if this person is the one. Marriage is one heavy committment and you better be damn sure the person is for you. Shacking up is almost like giving a nice sports car a test run, you like it, but you know you can't buy it.
