“‘To me that’s similar to marrying someone you’ve never had sex with. How do you know it will work out?’ You don’t. But if you love each other, you can work it out.” Not necessarily; what if it turns out you are fundamentally incompatible, i.e. there is no compromise that will leave you both happy–or even merely content?
“It’s not like throwing out a toy that doesn’t work anymore.” No; you’re talking about buying a toy that you’re never sure worked in the first place. That doesn’t seem to be a good strategy.
Disagreements over finances or sex account for more than 90% of divorces. Therefore, it would behoove couples to ensure they’re compatible in those areas before getting married, and the most obvious way on both counts is cohabitation.
