I would never marry someone I didn't live with, unless I was sure to have known them well enough, and by that I mean known them my entire life. There are too many things that you don't learn about a person until you live with them. For example, you don't know how often they feel like cleaning, what it is like to share a bathroom with them in the morning, what they will be like to actually move with, if they will do things you ask them to do right away or three days later. These are things that if not compatible can break down the strongest of relationships, not to mention several others.
Do you really want to marry someone, only to find out the day afterwords that he/she is completely lazy and never does anything? Of course not.
As for when to propose- do it whenever you want to. There is no rule that says that a weddding has to follow a proposal by so many months, and I think it is a good way to see another side of your woman before taking the big plunge.
