I'm going against the tide here. My way of thinking was "If I'm good enough to live with I'm good enough to marry". I must say I was very lucky we met and didn't really spend all that much time together before we married. It's been great so far but I don't think I would marry again.
That's always been my train of thought as well. Living together day to day and night to night tends to break down the illusions of grandure and the best behavior between two people so they can see their true colors before they commit to marriage.
