Just want to mention a study's conclusion I remember from college:

Couples that co-habitate before getting married are more likely to have their marriage fail than those couples who do not co-habitate before getting married.

It sounds contrary to common sense, but I am open to anyone correcting the above statement long as they cite reliable statistics and/or studies (not opinion or personal experience).

Questions: How old is she? How old are you? Are either one of you in college? Do either of you have children?

I think answering these questions will help responders give you better answers.

Peace.

Give your "best overview" what it's like being married to you since you're semi-married now. How long? You are just together for 3 months. Minimum of 1 year she can already decide.
