If you've been dating for a while, the topic of whether to move in together will come up. Close to 70% of people cohabitate before marriage, and the number has been rising over the years because people are waiting to marry and rising housing prices.   



Some people see living together as a trial for marriage, while others see it as a matter of "why not" when living together confers conveniences and cost savings.   



What's interesting is that research shows that divorce rates are higher post the one-year mark for people who cohabitated prior to marriage, and marital quality is lower among those who started living together before engagement or marriage too.   



Why is this the case when intuitively, it would seem the opposite should be true?  



If you're interested in finding out, check out this episode. I also cover some of the oft-overlooked issues of living together that people forget to consider before calling the moving company.
