I’ve been considering it for a while. She was my neighbor, long-time good friend, and I’ve been into her for a while. We started going on dates and becoming official not too long ago, and I was thinking of moving in with her.
All our families completely support the idea and so does my GF.

“Rhoades and Stanley used a representative sample of approximately 1,600 Americans who were married for the first time between 2010 and 2019. The study found that 34% of marriages ended among those who lived together before being engaged, while just 23% of marriages ended among couples who waited until after engagement or marriage to move in together.” - https://www.du.edu/news/new-du-study-highlights-risks-living-together-engagement
This was also an interesting read: Are Couples That Live Together Before Marriage More Likely to Divorce?
And that’s from Psychology Today, which is irreligious.
