Following up on your test driving analogy @anglophone

Reminder: Pre-Ordering A Car You've Never Driven Is A Bad Idea

I came across this story today and had to share it.

Pretty stupid analogy, most really good sex comes with a fun learning curve.

Times change. When my mother was in high school, women were called sluts if they had unmarried sex.

Men still want to marry a virgin in many countries and religions today. India, Middle East, Catholics, Muslims, Mormons and more.

Agree. However you don’t get to trial a car for eighteen months before buying it.

Great that the relationship is still going strong.

I have come to the conclusion that marriage is not worth it. With the divorce rate so high and blended families, what is the point. The expense of a wedding could go to better and more practical things.

A commitment is only as strong as the amount of effort put into it. A strong one can last a lifetime.

Dude, it's a lot classier just to say that you wouldn't buy a pair of shoes without trying them on first. At least here, everyone knows what you mean.

But now that you mention it, I'd go a step further. I think that the couples who live together before marriage are more likely to stay together longer.
