Katherine Heigl isn't moving in with fiance Josh Kelly until after they get married. She said, "I ... didn't want to live together before we were married. I still have enough Mormon in me -- not a lot, but enough -- that I wanted to keep that a little bit sacred."

Now, I am perhaps more liberal than most, but I can't imagine marrying someone I hadn't lived with. I think living with a person gives you a clearer and more honest picture of who they really are, and how they handle stress. Plus, the idea of planning a large wedding, getting married, going on a honeymoon and then learning that my husband is literally physically incapable of putting his dirty clothes in the laundry hamper would have been disheartening, to say the least. I felt like knowing all the little quirks and shortcomings of my spouse to be helped me to make a fully informed decision about marriage. Yes, he would never put his dirty tees in the hamper, but wake the man up in the middle of the night because you had a bad dream about crazy dolls and he is comforting, patient, and kind.

What do you say, AisleDash readers? Are you all for living together before marriage, or does it offend your sensibilities? Did you do it to the disappointment of your parents, or refrain to keep them happy?
