I read a similar statistic a while back that says that couples who live together before they get married have a much bigger percentage of a failed marriage then couples who don't live together before they are married. Something about acting like nothing has changed after the ceremony; therefore; the couple is not looking at the whole "commitment" and ceremony as important as it should be taken. It does make sense. I think back to when our pastor asked me and H if we could move apart before we got married.
