Well, obviously if I did live with him before we got married my mom would kill me

But really, even if you don't take what the Bible has to say, I think living together should be one of those things you get to experience after getting married. I don't see what would be different other than knowing that if he wants to leave he'll have to go to court and it makes it more difficult. Living together is almost symbolic of the marriage, you both live your seperate lives in seperate places, but when you get married its no longer "my life" its "our life" so you go from "my place" to "our place." Though I wouldn't mind coming home and seeing my boyfriend there or being home when he gets off from work and having that guarentee I'll get to see him everyday, that'll have to wait for if we get married.
