If you're really serious about your boyfriend, I think living together is an absolutely essential part of the process. The massive divorce rate is largely because of people rushing into marriage without actually giving it much though. You really have to know the person you're making that deal with, and to that end, it is crucially important that you spend time with them as a co-occupant.
If living together increases the likelihood of divorce, it's only because it means incompatible couples lose their patience with one another much faster; living together means the 2-5 year deterioration begins well before actually tying the knot. This is very important and should be encouraged, because it's cheaper and more sensible to realize that you can't spend your entire life with this person BEFORE any actual marriage takes place.
Just be careful not to get knocked up. That's the other ugly part of divorce.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
