Playing House

Why are we so against couples living together? What is wrong with a boyfriend and girlfriend choosing to live together, even if they are not married? They say you never really know a person until you live with them. So why is living with someone before marriage so wrong?

I've heard people say that it is not good to live with your significant other before marriage because you will be giving that man "wifey" benefits, and you guys are not married. What would make that man want to marry you, when nothing is going to change but a title? So if you two are already playing house, what should come next?

Suppose you play house, and you two do not workout? What happens? How do you move on? As a society why are people so against a couple moving in together? What are the procedures for moving in with your significant other? Do you have to ask the father? What if you move in with someone and realize they are not who you thought they were? Do you move out, or do you try to make it work? Ultimately what do you get out of playing house? What do you gain, and what do you lose? If in the event that relationship doesn't workout what happens in your next relationship?
