exactly, there are many reasons for living with each other and many reasons for a divorce.
For some to pass judgment on others because of their strict views is not right IMHO .
We , my wife and I lived with each other, we’re happy we did and we’re going on 16 years with 3 great kids.
I do have to wonder if those who are preaching their views and passing judgment on a couple they have no clue about have kids and did their kids never have sex and never live with someone before marriage.
I stick with my views that I have no problem if my kids live with someone before marriage and I’d rather know who they’re marrying.
Like the saying goes, you do not know a person until you live with them and no way do I want my kids to marry someone only to find they have the most disgusting lifestyle, disgusting habits and is a slob who likes to eat in bed and never pick their clothes up.
If someone doesn’t want to live with their future spouse so be it , that is up to them both and not for us to run around passing judgment.
Is there some place in the Bible where it states you should not live with each other before marriage and if so could someone give me the verse please.

Are you kidding? Do you expect everything to be explicit in scripture? Do you have a verse for THAT?
John 4:18 “The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”
There’s a woman living with a man who is not her husband. Do you think Jesus approves of disapproves?
