I have to say that my husband and I shared a house for 3 months before our marriage. We never had sex before we married, (a second marriage for both of us). He was given notice to leave the room he was renting, and I was desperate for money as a single mum, so he rented my spare room, like a tenent. We were already engaged and knew that sex wasnt going to happen till after the wedding day, so I couldnt see that it was a problem. Our children knew (adults by then)and they also knew that we had seperate rooms.
I suppose that it could be a problem because people would assume that we were having sex,but maybe that is their problem. We didnt actually tell anyone else apart from kids and very close friends.
