This is major OT, but:
I have to make a strong second for Outback Gal, I think that North America is becoming far to dependent on the fact that they can back out of almost anything. Whatever happened to committment? At this point, you can get married, and it's no big deal cause you can always get out through divorce. Like she said, it's actually much worse for you to live together first, and AFAIK, something like %75 of couples that live together before getting married end in divorce. Another thing is that sex is now a casual thing that is treated as nothing, which is completely opposite of what it was intended for, and if she happens to get pregnant you can always just get an abortion.
Personally I believe that living together is for cowards and lazy people that aren't willing to commit to something. Rather take the time to get to know each other properly, spend time together, develop a strong relationship with no sex whatsoever until you're married. Then Sex becomes something special that only you share, and like she said again, work at your marriage.
Sorry this is so OT, but I really believe strongly in the institution of marriage. Let the flaming begin.
