Premarital Cohabitation

Living together before marriage is a phenomenon that is developing rapidly in today's society. Living together is defined as two people who live in the same family, irrelevant and heterosexual (Kunz, 2012). There are many studies showing that there are disadvantages to cohabiting before marriage, but at the same time, there are many studies showing that there is little difference between couple who are not living together before marriage with their living partner. Before marriage Kunz (2012) listed her books, the type of living together was very small.

There is evidence that cohabitation actually became a more general bridge between marriage and dedication. The first pre-marriage cohabiting relationship lasted longer, more and more married. Within three years, about a seventh of their cohabitants were still together, four of them were married. The most important thing is planning, stability, and commitment. If living together is a prelude to what some scholars call "decisive marriage", the social norm allows the couple to try their lives under the same roof before making long-term commitments It seems to prove to be a beneficial shift by doing. The distinction between Sawhill's "drifter" and "planner" during pregnancy may also be useful when considering cohabitation.

Living together before marriage is the stage of increasing marriage and courtship in the United States. Unfortunately, in previous studies, cohabitation rarely develops dissolution rates much higher than marriage, little attention to marriage relations, high divorce rates, and marriage. Interpretation of these findings usually focuses on choosing individuals and couples to enter cohabitation. One explanation is that those who choose to live together rather than get married think that they and their relationships are less dangerous in terms of long-term happiness and devotion (Thomson & Colella, 1992 ). The second explanation is that cohabitants are less involved in the marriage regime and are therefore more likely to solve problematic marriages than non-resident (Thomson & Colella, 1992).
