Does living together before marriage help or hurt happily ever after?

If you’re tempted to shack up before tying the knot, it could have an impact on your marriage down the road. 

A recent study of couples who had been married for ten years or less looked at living arrangements before the big day. 19% of those who lived together before marriage had contemplated divorce. Couples who cohabitated after they were engaged but before the wedding seemed happier for it. Just 12% of them were tempted to split. The happiest husbands and wives were those who waited to share their space until AFTER the wedding. Only 10% of those couples were doubting their happily ever after.
