I've heard that it makes breakups more likely, but then that should tell you that couple probably shouldn't have gotten married. I doubt their marriage would have been great, had they found out afterwards that they don't much like living together or having sex with each other.
I think part of it is the belief that if they're living together, they'll have premarital sex. Which they shouldn't have because...reasons.
My thoughts exactly. My girlfriend says that she is not allowed by the edicts of her (non-Christian, non-Muslim) religion to live with me. She's stayed over on the couch a couple of times when she's visited me which has given me a bit of an insight into how she is as a roommate, but I'm still pondering what this means for us.

Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
