I've always wanted to get married before I live with my man based on religious reasons and honestly some personal reasons also.

my boyfriend and i have been together a year and almost two months (going strong🥰) and recently we've talked about getting a place together. he told me he respects my decision either way because he can understand my view on it on why I would rather get married first, but I'm iffy on it.

obviously you have the privilege of getting closer to your man and learning more ab him and they way he does things and sleeping w him every night but I want to know pros and cons of living together before marriage?

when I Googled it, there was actually a higher divorce rate for couples that lived together before marriage

opinions?
