document.write("What this study has failed to note is that in this day most couples who cohabit have 'non-traditional' values and the women tend to be more self-empowered and have higher expectations of themselves and their relationships.<br /><br />Couples that don't cohabit before marriage tend to come from traditional or religious backgrounds and as a result likely have a combination of more taboo's surrounding divorce and lower expectations of the happiness they're supposed to derive from marriage.<br /><br />The findings of this study are total hogwash when removed from context!.

document.write("What a load of hogwash. Cohabiting gives partners a chance to see if they are compatible.<br /><br />Although I can see how \"that some couples who move in together without a clear commitment to marriage may wind up sliding into marriage partly because they are already cohabiting\". It just means that you should wait a few years before moving in together as well.<br /><br />I think it's just another excuse for divorce. Meanwhile the couple just didn't work hard enough on their relationship.. Gold");

document.write("I think the most important thing highlighted here is :\"We think that some couples who move in together without a clear commitment to marriage may wind up sliding into marriage partly because they are already cohabiting\"<br /><br />I think if you love someone enough and its the right person then you're OK and it will work. I think the problem is these days that a lot of people are in relationships of convenience and not for the love and romance side. Living together is a good test of whether you actually love the person enough to share your space with them. J");

document.write("While many of the comments have substance, the living together does not necessarily teach the couple the concept of sharing as there may be still what is yours is yours and what is mine is mine. It does not always teach the skill of budgeting and sharing assets and liabilities. If this arrangement is for convenience, it does not induce the respect that is required. Living apart gives the couple more time to plan and implement a sustainable relationship. Not all couples choose to wait for marraige for religious or other reasons, but just respect for each other. The research has some very pertinent points that should be considered. Shane");
