Meg Jay, a clinical psychologist, has a fine piece in the New York Times on how sliding into cohabitation can make it less likely that you will make a successful marriage.
This line is worth the price of admission:
"I’ve had other clients who also wish they hadn’t sunk years of their 20s
into relationships that would have lasted only months had they not been
living together."
My advice to students: don't live together without a ring and a date.

This article was being shared quite a bit on Facebook this weekend. It is unfortunately based on anecdotes and outdated science. The cohabitation effect doesn't really exist.
