Please, please live together first. If nothing else, it's a great way to learn more about one another. Being in love, and being best friends, really isn't enough to make a marriage work. Since you are making a lifelong commitment, you should take a test drive first.
For the first 6-8 months my wife and I were dating, we pretty much slept in the same bed anyway (her place or mine). Paying only one rent just made sense. We lived "officially" together for another six months before we were married. We've been very happily married now for 11 years, and when our kids are old enough to be thinking about it, you can bet we are going to recommend a test drive first.
