Does cohabitation/monogamous-premarital-sex increase your likelihood of divorce?

David Friedman argues that you shouldn't be regularly sleeping with people you don't intend to marry. The instinct to pair-bond and the convenience of regular sex overwhelm the additional information gained.

Implicitly, if you are dating someone but NOT living with them, you are a better judge of their quality as a mate.

Note sure that he is right, but it is an interesting argument.
