Don't forget - this can work both ways.
I once lived with a friend and his girlfriend. I was the one that was probably the hardest to get along with, being the single guy. It was usually me and someone else banging the walls at 3:00 a.m. Especially since I was tending bar and they both had day jobs. For the most part, though, it worked out well. When they got engaged, I decided it was time to move out and get my own place.
Another thing to look out for - make sure that they they don't think of themselves as "one couple," instead of "two people." Seriously, I almost shared a place with one couple who said that since they shared one room, they should only pay half the rent. I was like, 'Dude - if you want her to sleep in my room half the time, then okay; otherwise, you pay two thirds."
