My parents and thier generations before them didn't live common law before marriage. Maybe they knew something you don't.
A close Lady friend of mine pased away in August of Breast Cancer. Over the years I got to know her morals and values and greatly appreciated the woman she was. That told me a great deal about who she was as a person and how she approached things in life. I hope someday to meet and marry someone like her.

Okay, so you know someone's morals. Does that mean you know if they push the toothpaste tube from the middle? Do they like to cook bacon or do they hate it? Some of these things sound trivial but they do matter when you live with someone. Your outlook is beautiful and all, but I think it is overly idealistic.
