A year into their relationship, Gwen Merz and her boyfriend brought up the big question. No, not âWill you marry me?â Rather: âWould you like to purchase a home with me?â Truth be told, for some millennials, the thought of going in on a house together can be more thrilling than the sound of wedding bells.
