Jack, instead of getting into a scriptural debate, I'll just say this.
The "best" way to know someone does NOT mean it is the way you should do it (regardless of religious affiliation). I'm just hypothetically speaking, because IMO, you will not truly know someone until you start living with them. So yes, at least for many Christians (and people in general), they won't truly "know" until after marriage and moving in together (which unfortunately is why many divorces occur). I brought up the roommate example because frankly, that's the plain truth. If you choose to live with one of your best friends, many people end up hating each other or not being able to stand one another. I'm speaking based on experience; this is why some people say not to live with your best friend.

Anyways, on a somewhat related note there was a statistic somewhere that the reason many boyfriends and girlfriends live together isn't because they want to test out how their relationship works under one roof. Instead it was to save money (rent, utilities, etc) especially if they're just beginning their careers/lives.

SacrieurHaha, they're going to have sex.
If they do, that is the point when they've done something which could possibly be considered immoral, and not a moment before.
There's nothing immoral about sex.
Hey look, I can make blanket statements as if my morality were an absolute truth too!

I remember reading a study that indicated that roughly 3 years must go by before people start to really annoy each other. (hormonal oxytocin decreases)
So anything more than 3 years.

None.
I don't see a problem with a man and a woman living together without being married. Otherwise it would be like saying "If you're in college and your roommate is another guy, people will think you're gay, cuz only two gay men sleep in the same room 
"

Unless of course they start to annoy you before then, in which case waiting that long isn't necessary
In reality, I think 3 years is probably a good time to consider proposing and whatnot anyways, so it's likely the best general answer.

Zoan -- of course it isn't full understanding. You could ask "is the mechanism by which this counterexample blows up the ONLY mechanism possible for an initial configuration to blow up?"[05:47 pm]
Zoan -- HeinermannHeinermann shouted: it also didn't solve that problem but hey as long as the investors are pleased
Constructing a counterexample is answering the question: "Is Navier Stokes well posed?" in the negative[05:43 pm]
Heinermann -- it also didn't solve that problem but hey as long as the investors are pleased[05:39 pm]
NudeRaider -- I have no idea tbh. All I know no human was ever able to solve it, but there's at least a few that beat portal

NudeRaider -- ZoanZoan shouted: I find it kind of sad that on the same day it was announced AI solved Navier Stokes, it was also announced AI beat Portal, and there's a good deal of people who don't know which is more impressive
you find it sad not everyone is a math nerd?
