Can you love each other even after realizing it's not all fun?
After reading a recent study in Glamour which reexamined the long-propagated myth that couples who live together before marriage have a higher chance of divorce, I felt ridiculously triumphant, wagging my finger in a self-aggrandizing "I told you so" to society at large.
Really, all of those articles were starting to depress me, especially since I'm engaged to a man I have been living with for the past four years. Far from believing the myth, I became convinced that my fiancé and I were just different from the rest of the world, luckier than most. Blame it on my desire to be different, but after reading the article, I started questioning why the myth has held for so long.
Was there any truth to it? I couldn't find any good reasons for not living together through my Internet searches, and I kept coming up with "because it is a sin" from religious organizations.
After scouring the web and relentlessly asking couples, singles and even my fiancé for opinions on the matter, I realized that how a couple deals with issues while cohabitating can be a predictor for successful marriages. I came up with the following list that reminds me of the age-old adage: You don't really know someone until you live with them.
