betrothal was lengthy but it often involved sharing the household with the future wife

Do you have a reference for this? I only ask as I have never heard of it, especially as the Jews of Jesus' time were quite circumspect.

I heard Fr. Mitch Pacwa on the EWTN radio explaining that. I will try to look up something in writing when I have time.
