What do we have? 4,000 years of recorded human history? How venerable is the tradition of a couple who want to marry just give it a go to see if they like it?
Uh, people used to get killed for acting out like this!
Could you rephrase this so it makes sense: "How venerable is the tradition of a couple who want to marry just give it a go to see if they like it?"
Cause I didn't get it.
I don't understand why people are so violently opposed to learning about a person before you commit your life to them. And yes, there *are* things you can only learn from living with someone instead of just seeing them on the evenings and weekends for dates.
