The first year is always the worst. Have to learn each other's silly habits and deal with conflict while being in same space constantly. I lived 7 1/2 years with husband before I married. We got married a week after I finished college. We were both really young when we moved in together at 19. I'm a fan of waiting until you're finished growing. There was no rush and it was considerate of him too because he had time too to be sure he wanted to get married. There was no stigma and we enjoyed the process much more when we finally did.
