Lots of great advice here! I do agree with how it can be a good idea to live with your fiance’ for awhile before getting married. Where I am from that is frowned upon, but had I done that in my first two marriages, I would never have suffered through the heartache of two divorces. Fortunately, I am now recently remarried for the third and LAST time. I did not live with him prior to our marriage, but I did stay with him at his place for a few days at a time. This helped me to see that yes we are very compatible and now I am happier than I ever could have imagined being.
