Studies by the University of Denver say that if you live with someone before you get married and have premarital sex, you're more likely to get divorced later down the line. I disagree since I've known many couples who have done just that and they've been married 10 plus years and counting. They've actually said that it helped to live with the other person before they got married to know what to expect and that's why their marriage flourishes. What do you all out there think?

Well, coming from a christian backround I've been taught that sex before marriage is a no-no. . But lets not even think about the religous side of things. I know for a fact, that with a long-term relationship, comes the want to express your feelings with sex. I strongly beleive that sex should be something that is special. It should be shared with people you truly care about. . . To engage in premarital sex, I think, takes out of the special bond that occurs when you get married. . .
